In this episode, we share our smooch, marry, and kills of June. We dip our feet into the pool of June’s upcoming movies, shows, and books to help you make your summer bucket list. We discuss what’s worthy of a summer fling (smooch), what’s worth deep diving (marry), and what might have you reaching for a life preserver (kill). Plus Knox comes up with a formula for the perfect reality tv show cast.
