Movies That Matter / 08-14-26
(Movies That Matter Intro)
Welcome to Movies That Matter, where we look at three movies worth knowing about before the weekend begins.
Anne Hathaway’s entire neighborhood has disappeared, PAW Patrol is apparently fighting dinosaurs now, and somehow Wet Hot American Summer is 25 years old.

What’s new? And – a whole lot scary – The End of Oak Street stars Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor. The premise: an entire suburban street is suddenly ripped from Earth and transported somewhere unknown.

Looking like Jurassic Park just moved into the neighborhood there.
Speaking of dinosaurs…
(PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie cut)
Ahhhh – that’s more up my alley.
The pups are back, this time landing on a dinosaur island, meeting Rex, and – since dinosaurs weren’t enough – they are dealing with a volcano.
It’s PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie

And finally, we have a movie returning to theaters for its 25th anniversary – Wet Hot American Summer

Watching it now, the cast looks absolutely ridiculous: Amy Poehler, Bradley Cooper, Molly Shannon, Michael Ian Black, Elizabeth Banks, Paul Rudd, … that’s a lot.

That’s this weekend’s Movies That Matter. From disappearing neighborhoods to dinosaurs to summer camp nostalgia, there should be something waiting for you at the movies.
Until next time – keep on popping the corn.
