Episode Description

Documentaries can put viewers into situations they'd never encounter, such as rock climbing in "Free Solo" or big-wave surfing through the HBO series "100 Foot Wave."

"The Blue Angels" brings you inside the cockpit of a U.S. Navy jet and tells the story from the perspective of those that are members of the team.

Co-host Bruce Miller talks about the documentary and shares an interview he had with Greg Wooldridge, the only three-time Boss of the Blue Angels, and director Paul Crowder.

"Garfield" is coming for the kids and action fans will get "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga" for Memorial Day weekend, but there are some concerns about the summer lineup. "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes" has done well so far but has not exploded in the way other early blockbusters like last year's "The Super Mario Bros. Movie."

We also talk about "The Jinx: Part Two," which updates the story of real estate heir and convicted killer Robert Durst, "Back to Black," the story of Amy Winehouse, and the latest season of “Bridgerton.” 

We look at the career of Jeff Daniels, who has another new series in “A Man in Full,” and chat about the recent end to the 49th season of "Saturday Night Live."
