Culture critics Jackson Weaver, Cassie Cao and Niko Stratis review the top pop culture stories this week
Summertime means it's blockbuster season, and this week's Wrap Panel is here to discuss the most buzz-worthy releases.
In 2018, this animated Spiderman movie Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse came out. It was an instant hit among audiences, the fans loved it. Some critics even say it's the best Spider-Man movie to date.
And now there's a sequel, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is available on June 2.
Streaming now on Disney+ is the new coming of age comedy series American Born Chinese — adapted from the 2006 graphic novel of the same name written by Gene Luen Yang.
The new live-action version of the Barbie movie is set to be released on July 21. It stars Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, Simu Liu and Issa Rae. Each trailer gives viewers little hints of what to expect — and yet a lot of fans are still unsure if Margot Robbie and director Greta Gerwig can pull this off.
