Out Now 515: Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

It’s time to ride or die with this year’s summer lineup. The Summer Movie Gamble has returned, as Out Now with Aaron & Abe presents the 12th Annual Summer Movie Gamble. For this Summer movie season, it’s a bit more limited, but that has only made this competition more unpredictable. Will there be another Barbenheimer (Bordertrap)? Will Pixar reclaim its former glory by outdoing Illumination? Can past movie stars like Will Smith and Kevin Costner drum up a lot of attention? Are people starved for a new MCU movie enough to power an R-rated film high above all else? Listen in to hear the launch of this year’s gamble, which doubles as a summer movie preview episode, featuring the reigning Champion, Markus Robinson of Movies Markus, and frequent 2nd place or lower finisher, Scott Mendelson of The Outside Scoop. So now, if you’ve got an hour to kill… Note: Some entries have changed since the original recording of this episode.
