As the summer movie season comes to a close and the strikes continue to make future releases (at least starting in November) a bit of a mystery, there are still some new releases to pay attention to. I have a review for Gran Turismo , a strong entry in the realm of video game movies (as it's more of a biopic that happens to involve a video game). There are also new reviews for Liam Neeson's latest and a few comedies. Plus, we have new podcasts covering Blue Beetle  and more. And the Summer of 93 at 30 podcast series continues with another fun episode. So, feel free to check out all these reviews, podcasts, lists, trailers, and other fun.
