Arriving on June 26, 2026, we’ve got a couple of new theatrical releases with starkly different subject matter but that I somehow feel compelled to approach in a similar fashion. One of them is about something that I would never like to participate in myself, but is there something of value to be gleaned from watching a movie about it? Whereas the other is about something that certainly intrigues me even though I’m not sure if I would ever dive right into it with complete abandon, but would my opinion change in any way if I watch a movie about it first?
