Summer 2025 Bingeworthy Watchlist: TV, Movies & What's Hooking Us Now

In this bonus episode of Screens in Focus, Diana and Renee dive into their summer watchlists—with all the fun, surprises, and must-see picks for your next night in. From historical drama in The Gilded Age and the moody mystery of Smoke, to Renee's retro gem Mildred Pierce and Diana's gritty pick Waterfront, there's plenty to explore. They gush about My Mom Jayne (seriously, Diana highly recommends it), break down new releases like 28 Years Later and Superman, and shout out Emmy faves like Severance and The Studio. ⏱ Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction and Hosts' Greetings 00:25 TV Show Recommendations: The Gilded Age 02:52 TV Show Recommendations: Mildred Pierce 04:10 TV Show Recommendations: Revival 05:51 TV Show Recommendations: Waterfront 07:26 TV Show Recommendations: Smoke 08:26 TV Show Recommendations: Poker Face 10:21 TV Show Recommendations: Twisted Metal 12:26 TV Show Recommendations: Duster 14:54 Reality TV and Emmy Nominations 16:42 Movie Recommendations: My Mom Jayne 19:01 Movie Recommendations: 28 Years Later 20:21 Movie Recommendations: Superman 21:59 Conclusion and Farewell   And hey—we're on Ko-fi!
