In a mini-Carpet episode, Siblo and Whalen key off a particularly insightful piece of listener feedback to present a mid-year movie going roundup for 2018. Your Carpeteers take the temperature of the year’s box office numbers, wonder why so many movie-goers subject themselves to the diminishing returns of the Jurassic World franchise, discuss what effect (if any) the failure of Solo will have on franchise tent poles, recommend their favorite theatrical releases of the year as well as some streaming deep cuts, and much more.
