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.
