Welcome to The List,
With Memorial Day just around the corner Country Stars are sharing their support. Tim McGraw is thankful for the safety he feels. “They put their life on the line. They put their families on the back burner because they have to be away while we sit in our comfortable homes and we take our kids to a great school and we drive in our cars to places, and we feel safe. They provide that.”
Brett Young shares his feelings on sacrifice “You know, I wouldn’t get to do what I do and I wouldn’t get to enjoy the freedoms that I do if there weren’t people that had gone and made those sacrifices. And so, once I kind of realized that it’s about the freedoms we enjoy in this country, it became a really, really special holiday for me.”

John Krasinski’s new movie sequel “A Quiet Place Part 2” is in theaters this weekend and he talks about why you should REALLY see this movie in a theater…“I just think that this movie is so uniquely primed for the theater, we designed it completely to be a theatrical experience. So, in this movie we tried to push the boundaries even more with what we did with sound and put YOU in the movie and make you feel like you are part of this terrifying experience.” He says it’s much bigger and scarier than the original film, we’ll take a closer look at “A Quiet Place 2” on At The Movies Thursday. “A Quiet Place Part 2” is in theaters Friday.
