Summary

On today's show, we're diving into the buzz around Thunderbolts – a relatively unknown property in the grand MCU lineup, but early test screenings suggest Marvel might have a surprise hit on their hands. Could this be the movie that brings the MCU back on track? The cast is stacked, the trailers are slick, and if these reactions are to be believed… Thunderbolts* could be one of Marvel Studios' best movies to date.

Also on the show: China may be considering a ban on U.S. films in response to the latest round of tariffs – how would that affect Hollywood's box office? Jenna Ortega finally speaks out on why she left Scream 7, and her reasoning might surprise you. Plus, the reviews are in for The Last of Us Season 2 — does it live up to the first season's hype? Roxy Striar joins to break it all down and share her weekly TV picks!

All that and more with Kristian and Roxy on today’s Kristian Harloff Show!
