The Summer Series has but a few time periods left as we approach the 2010s... but first, we have to finish out the 2000s -- that being movies released between Memorial Day and Labor Day in each 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009!

And our guest roster continues to shine, as Carnegie Hall icon and Mom of lots Jenn Kaufman joins the show once more. 

First, a new game called DEBUTS debuts, featuring a challenge to discover famous names who made their first appearances in this five year window. 

The, the top five films of that era, including a Donkey Kong doc... My Big Fat Greek Ruins... some Pixar love... a Harry Potter discussion... Julia vs Sandy B... the raunch in films of the time... Studio Ghibli name drops... Isla Fisher, the backup Amy... the fourth Die Hard... and then whether Heath Ledger wins the Oscar in a world in which he lives... and some hot Letterboxd talk...
