The summer movie season is in high gear, as you can tell from all the noises of crashing cars and gunshots emanating from your local multiplex. On this week’s show, Dan Webster, Nathan Weinbender, and Mary Pat Treuthart discuss three films that are currently in release—the first being Bad Boys: Ride or Die, the second being George Miller’s prequel Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, and the third being the re-release of Tom Tykwer’s imaginative and energetic action film Run Lola Run.
