This coming weekend is the Fourth of July, which generally means celebrating America by eating things made on grills and going to the movies. (Independence Day forever!)

But wherefore art thou, July 4th mega-movie? It seems as though studios aren’t as interested in releasing their biggest films over the holiday weekendeven though people still seem interested in hitting the multiplex. Was the Blockbuster Fourth of July Weekend a moviegoer myth all along?

This weekend we have Magic Mike XXL and Terminator Genisys hitting theaters and those of us on the WIRED Entertainment Podcastaka The Monitorare ready to debate which will come out on top. (Or if Jurassic World will once again win the weekend.) We’re talking True Detective and Apple Music, too. We’ve got editors and contributors Jordan Crucchiola, KM McFarland, and Angela Watercutter in the booth, so click Play below and get in on the conversation.

Also, here are a few helpful links for things we talk about in the podcast:

-KM McFarland’s story on why True Detective might just need time to get better
-WIRED’s piece on how to keep Apple Music from billing you after the three-month free trial

(Stitchers/Soundclouders/iTuners: we’ll be making the podcast available through other outlets soon.)
