This week, Kate Erbland joins Anne Thompson for a look at the summer movies. Does a single-star beach horror flick signal a return to mid-budget hits? Can a “Star Trek” movie find something new to offer? How does Mike Birbiglia’s latest, “Don’t Think Twice” stack up against its blockbuster competition?

Plus, a preview of this year’s #SDCC, a quick post-dust-settling chat about Paul Feig’s femme “Ghostbusters” vs. the Ivan Reitman/Harold Ramis original, and some thoughts on the rapidly accelerating career of Margot Robbie. All that and more on this week’s episode of Screen Talk.

Listen to the full episode above.
