What are you looking forward to doing this summer? Maybe it\u2019s heading off-island or enjoying a staycation. Regardless of your plans, we\u2019re sure you have a certain series or movie that you\u2019re looking forward to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With highly anticipated summer premieres and notifications turned on to remind us when our favorite series’ newest episodes will be out, we spoke to a couple of University of Guam Tritons to see how their summer watchlists are shaping up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first streaming platform to head to was HBO Max as math major Kai Blas has already been making plans to watch all of Makoto Shinkai\u2019s movies once summer hits. Not all of the director\u2019s movies are available on HBO Max, but Blas suggests Weathering With You<\/em> on the platform for anyone interested. \u201cI wanna go through the summer watching all of his films, just so I can have a little more context of the evolution of his movies,\u201d Blas shares, intrigued by someone he considers to be a director that everyone should be watching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keeping with the anime theme but heading to a different streaming service, Crunchyroll, Blas shares his intentions to watch an anime called Ranking of Kings<\/em>. \u201cI\u2019ve been hearing a lot of good talk about it. I\u2019ve yet to watch it,\u201d Blas stated. \u201cEveryone recommends it to me. A lot of people are saying it’s in the top ten on their [best anime] lists.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those with a Disney+ subscription, you can join UOG student Jewel Morrison in preparing for the upcoming Marvel movies coming out. Morrison, a second year psychology student, is itching to watch the newest installment of the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, which comes out this summer. \u201cI\u2019m gonna have to binge-watch all the movies before I watch this one\u2026I\u2019ve been wanting to,\u201d Morrison declared following how she wants to make sure she hasn\u2019t accidentally missed any major plot points before going in to see the new film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blas joined in on the Marvel conversation as he recalled that the sequel to Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse<\/em> is being released on June 2. \u201cSpider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse<\/em>. We gotta watch it! The first one was great,\u201d Blas expressed, inviting his fellow Tritons to get excited for Miles Morales\u2019 Spider-Man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The liveliest responses came from Morrison\u2019s enthusiasm for Barbie<\/em>, which is expected to be released on July 21. \u201cI heard about it from one of my friends. I just watched the trailer a couple days ago,\u201d Morrison explained. Even Blas shared his intent to see the film post seeing the trailer. \u201cI\u2019m pretty excited watching the trailer\u2026I\u2019m not too familiar with [the toy] but I grew up with cousins that had Barbies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the seemingly positive interest, Morrison shares what she believes looks like a bad choice. \u201cThe only thing I don\u2019t like about the movie – that I\u2019m not excited for – is the fact that Ryan Gosling is playing Ken. Personally, I don\u2019t think he has the looks for it.\u201d Regardless of this opinion, Morrison\u2019s eagerness to see the film hasn\u2019t faltered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The duo implores their fellow Tritons to make sure they head to the theaters with them to show support for these upcoming releases. If you aren\u2019t set on heading to the theaters just yet, make sure you are still signed up to your favorite streaming service – or borrow a friend\u2019s Crunchyroll, Disney+ or HBO account. Have fun sitting back and watching your favorite films without the worry of upcoming deadlines looming over you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
