As the Summer Season winds down, and people everywhere return from vacation to head back to work, school, and everywhere in-between, Special Topics winds back this year's clock to revisit the best (and worst?) of the 2024 Summer Movie Season. Host Garret Castleberry is joined by Kyle Hammonds for an abbreviated retrospect of the summer that was (and wasn't?) in Cinemas. In Part 1, Garret and Kyle narrativize their travelogues to the movies while speculating what cultural factors may have kept audiences at home in April and May. What April and May features did audiences see in theaters? Check us out the Special Topics in Media Facebook group and let us know!
