It's finally May and every movie in the theater seems to have been turned up a few decibels, so you know what that means: summer movie season! On this week's episode of Operation Kino we review the first big movie of the summer, Thor, and preview our picks for summer movies we're expecting to be surprise hits, under-the-radar films we want you to look out for, movies we're actively dreading, and the ones we think it'll just be fun to see all together. Plus tidbits and a lightning round in honor of Something Borrowed, yet another film in a long line of romantic comedies with terribly generic titles.
Also! Very excitingly, we're holding our first-ever Operation Kino giveaway, because both Dave and I have Thor toys to share with you all. You'll have to listen to the podcast to figure out which question we want you to answer, but when you have an answer put it in the comments of this Facebook post. We'll pick one answer at random by the end of this week and send you your prize. Good luck!
