e371. Retro Revivals and Cinematic Sequels: Summer 2025 Preview

As the school year wraps up and summer begins it’s time for an annual pop culture tradition, the summer movie season. And, as we’ve done the last couple of years, Mav, Hannah, and Monica are ready to discuss the upcoming summer movie season filled with nostalgia, sequels, and potential hits. What are we excited about, what are we not excited about and why? Moreover, why are there just SOOOOO many franchise movies this summer and… every summer? From Mission Impossible, to Lilo and Stitch, to Superman, to Fantastic Four, we preview the upcoming slate of films, predict box office performance and talk about the ways they reflect our current cultural climate. Listen and let us know if you agree in the comments.

Om Podcasten

Vox Populorum is a blog and podcast devoted to pop culture criticism. We believe that the best way to understand culture is to discuss it. But we also believe that it's a lot more fun to have these conversations throwing back a couple beers at the bar rather than in a classroom. Please join our weekly round table of media critics, academics, creators, artists, professors, students and fans for an engaging discussion about movies, novels, comic books, television, video games, music or whatever else we happen to think of! Nec audiendi qui solent dicere, Vox populi, vox Dei, quum tumultuositas vulgi semper insaniae proxima sit.
