What to Watch, Read and Listen to in August Preview
In this episode, we share our smooch, marry, and kills for August. We discuss what’s worth planting (smooch), what deserves room to grow (marry), and what needs to be pulled up by the roots (kill) as we tend to our August pop culture garden. Join us as we spotlight the shows made for hunkering down in the AC, the books perfect for a poolside read, and the movies worth sweating through the last stretch of summer to see.
