On this episode of Thrillist's Best Podcast, the budget is big (not really), the stars have assembled (well, the stars of Thrillist) and the popcorn is ready (this depends on you, to be honest) for our celebration of the summer blockbuster. Host Wil Fulton is joined by Thrillist Entertainment Team icons Esther Zuckerman, Dan Jackson, and John Sellers to break down:

• The best summer blockbusters of the 80s, 90s, 00s, and 10s
• The origins of the word blockbuster
• Why Dan likes Miami Vice (the 00s movie, not the 80s show) so much 
• If comedies count as blockbusters
• When (and maybe more importantly where) we'll be able to see Tenet 
• And much more!

Despite not being able to experience summer blockbusters in their natural, theatrical habitat, you'll still find plenty to choose from here.
