Welcome back, Scripties, to Season 2, Episode 8 of Scripts and Screens! We’re kicking things off with the latest in TV and film, starting with America’s favorite football star, Travis Kelsey, who’s set to make his big-screen debut in the action-comedy Loose Cannons from Lionsgate. With John Wick director Chad Stahelski behind the wheel, will we be excited to see Kelsey take on Hollywood? We dive into our thoughts and predictions.

Next, we move into our Viewer’s Recommended Watch: The Summer I Turned Pretty, Season 1 on Prime. Belly’s caught in a love triangle with two brothers, navigating her first love and heartbreak during a seemingly perfect summer. We break down the intense dynamics between Belly, Jeremiah, and Conrad, and explore the season’s emotional core—their mom’s battle with cancer.

Our first Pot and Plot pick is The Bike Riders, now streaming on Peacock. This gritty tale follows the evolution of a Midwestern motorcycle club over a decade, from a group of outsiders to a dangerous gang. We discuss the film’s dark twists, our own experiences (or lack thereof) with motorcycles, and whether friendships can truly supersede marriage when loyalties are tested.

Finally, we dive into The Union on Netflix, starring Halle Berry and Mark Wahlberg. Mike, a down-to-earth construction worker, is thrust into the world of super spies when his high school sweetheart ropes him into a high-stakes U.S. intelligence mission. We share what we loved and didn’t love about the film, and debate if it’s worth the watch. Plus, we speculate on the chances of a Catwoman sequel—could Halle Berry’s iconic role make a comeback? Stay tuned, Scripties, for another exciting episode full of film fun and deep dives into the stories that keep us glued to the screen! This description highlights the key discussions of your episode while inviting your audience to engage with the various topics.
