b"Today, the term \\u201csummer movie\\u201d is synonymous with big budgets, explosions, superhero franchises, family-friendly animated films, and sequels. Yet this wasn't always the case. In the summers of the 1960s, years before 1975\\u2019s Jaws began to redefine the blockbuster, successful new releases were held over in certain cities for months, and risqu\\xe9 international films were shown alongside schlocky American B movies.

Hoberman, critic for The New York Times; Nick Pinkerton, regular FILM COMMENT contributor; and Ina Archer, co-chair of the Women\\u2019s Film Preservation Fund for New York Film and Television, in conversation with FC Digital Editor Violet Lucca."
