Have no fear, we're back! Overlapping Dialogue returns after an extended spring break with a special Memorial Day Blue Plate Special Buy One Pay Double Buffet Extravaganza! Ahead of a proper episode with our usual format later this week, we kick back and relax with a survey of a great many things that have occupied our attention over the past month and a half. Topics range from thoughts on the bankruptcy of Red Lobster, the Mad Men cameos in Unfrosted, the buzz from this year's Cannes Film Festival, and Ryan Reynolds's disgraceful christening of our new Hall of Shame, the Enemies of the State. Then, we remember the lives of some noteworthy talents who our culture recently lost: Roger Corman, Dabney Coleman, Steve Albini, Paul Auster, and the notorious O.J. Simpson (don't worry, he's our second Enemy of the State). After that, we discuss some notable new releases with Civil War, Challengers, The Fall Guy, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, and Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. Finally, we wrap things up with a preview of this year's summer movie season by highlighting some of the titles we're most excited about. In case you couldn't tell, it's a jam packed episode that we're so happy to share with you this holiday weekend!
