THIS WEEK ON BANTER ON THE ROCKS, WE KICK THINGS OFF WITH OUR HOT TAKES OF THE WEEK AND DIVE INTO THE ART OF MISLEADING MOVIE TRAILERS—WHY DO THEY MAKE A FILM LOOK LIKE A BANGER WHEN IT’S NOT? WE ALSO TALK ABOUT THE SURPRISING REQUEST FROM U.S. MEN’S SOCCER FOR A SABBATICAL… NOT THE BEST LOOK FOR A TEAM THAT HASN’T ACHIEVED MUCH ON THE WORLD STAGE.

FROM THERE, IT’S ALL ABOUT THE NBA PLAYOFFS, A WILD ORLANDO MAGIC TRADE, AND SPECULATION ON WHERE KD MIGHT LAND NEXT. ON THE BASEBALL SIDE, TIM IS FIRED UP ABOUT THE GIANTS TRADING FOR RAFAEL DEVERS, AND WE THROW IN SOME FRIENDLY SHADE FOR PADRES FANS—GO DODGERS!

WE WRAP IT UP WITH AN UPDATE ON OUR MOVIE CHALLENGE GAME AND SHARE BOTH SPOILER-FREE AND SPOILER-FILLED TAKES ON WHAT WE’VE WATCHED RECENTLY.

GRAB A DRINK, PRESS PLAY, AND JOIN THE BANTER!
