  • What are you up to this weekend?

  • There's a new Spielberg out that's supposed to be nuts.

  • If the Mandalorian and his little buddy Grogu didn't already do it,

  • Disclosure Day will officially kick off a big blockbuster summer for the movies.

  • We've got Sir Nolan.

  • We've got Woody and Buzz.

  • We've got Spider-Man Supergirl.

  • We've got one with Anne Hathaway and Dinosaurs.

  • But all those big ones aren't necessarily what's got Hollywood abuzz.

  • People are talking about movies with much smaller budgets, in particular, iron lung, obsession,

  • and back rooms, because they all have one thing in common.

  • And if you don't know what it is, we'll tell you on Today Explained from Vox.

  • Support for the show comes from Fetch Pet Insurance.

  • Do you have a pet?

  • Every six seconds, a pet owner in the US gets hit with a vet bill of over $1,000.

  • And it's almost always an unwelcome surprise.

  • That's where Fetch Pet Insurance comes in.

  • Fetch is the most complete pet insurance.

  • Get paid back up to 90% of vet bills.

  • You can use any vet in the US and Canada.
