The two of them force Brennan to talk more about Mortal Kombat II more than he wants, while glossing over such less-anticipated films like the new Star Wars . To get the show started, it's a quartet of brand-new releases for the movie roundtable: Caleb sees the much-hyped Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie , Brennan drags himself to The Strangers: Chapter 3 , and Gavin does a compare-and-contrast with Ready or Not 2: Here I Come and They Will Kill You .","meta_description":"To get the summer movie season started, Brennan is joined by Caleb and Gavin.
