From a meteorological lens, some of us are starting to feel the dog days of summer, so hopefully those of you upside-down are persevering through the cat nights of winter. Below is an ostensibly incomplete list of new releases for August 15th, 2025. Feel free to jam the playlist, let us know what you’re looking forward to this week, and thank you for teaching kids everywhere a valuable lesson: if things don’t go your way, just keep complaining until your dreams come true. Until then, we’ll catch you for the next one!
