Posted on

This Week: The summer movie season has officially started, and Kevin has his big bucket of popcorn, ready to start watching big summer movies.

They also talk about the coming-of-old-age movie The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, but the conversation is dominated by the guys in the funny suits.
