Crank up the AC! This week Mike and Steven kick off Summer Stories Month with a classic eighties comedy that has a heart of gold: Summer School from 1987. They discuss the film's place amongst its teens-gone-wild contemporaries like Fast Times at Ridgemont High, what this film led to for the cast, and the importance of its director, Carl Reiner.

And in the news segment this week:

• Blumhouse's swing and miss with M3GAN 2.0
• Celebrity passings: Michael Madsen and Julian McMahon
