The OFFBEND crew is back on the air with sharper mics, a new guest, producer Marshal Hodges, and three of summer 2025’s headline releases front-and-center. We kick off with a rapid-fire rundown of the week’s biggest industry moves: SAG-AFTRA’s new AI safeguards, Jurassic World Rebirth’s July-4 box-office stampede, Apple’s F1 victory lap, Amazon folding Freevee into Prime Video, AMC’s mid-week half-price push, and Texas’ beefed-up film incentives.
Next up: “Movie Chain,” a zero-prep trivia battle you can play along with. We then drill into why certain reboots (F1, Jurassic World Rebirth, James Gunn’s Superman) are cutting through audience fatigue before dropping spoiler-light reviews of all three. Lean, lively, and wrapped in under an hour—hit play, leave a five-star rating, and enjoy the ride.
