Movies That Matter / 08-07-26
(Movies That Matter Intro)
Welcome to Movies That Matter, where we look at three movies worth knowing about before the weekend begins.
The Super Troopers are somehow still in charge, one new comedy is definitely for adult eyes only, and Spider-Man has apparently collected most of the world’s money.

What’s new? The Broken Lizard crew is back for Super Troopers 3.

The original movie arrived in 2001, which means these guys have now been irresponsible law-enforcement officers for 25 years.
Somehow, nobody has taken away their badges.

Also opening this weekend is One Night Only, starring Monica Barbaro and Callum Turner.

The premise? In this fictional America, single people are allowed one night each year to find… “romance.” (dramatic air quotes)
Let’s just call this one adults only—and move along.

Last Friday, Spider-Man was just swinging back into theaters.
Seven days later, Spider-Man: Brand New Day pulled in $360 million domestically—the biggest opening weekend in movie history, passing Avengers: Endgame.

Apparently, people really like Spider-Man.
That’s this weekend’s Movies That Matter. Whether you want superheroes, comedy, romance—or something a little more adult—there should be something waiting for you at the movies.
