THIS WEEK'S CATEGORY: THREE-WORD MOVIE REVIEWS
On-air questions: The summer movie season is once again upon us and sometimes it’s a good idea to read reviews of a movie before going to see it. Unfortunately, we don’t have time tonight to read entire reviews, so instead I’ll give you the year a movie was released and three words from the review of that movie on rogerebert.com and you name the movie. As a hint: none of the words that I give you will be in the title of the movie.

1. (2017) Guitar / grandfather / skeletons
2. (2022) Laundromat / IRS / universe
3. (1992) Sisters / professional / Rockford
4. (2016) Language / Adams / creatures
5. (1986) Ferrari / teenagers / Wrigley

Extra credit
1. (1988) Manual / ghosts / prankster
2. (1995) Interrogation / Hungarian / revelation
