It's going to be a hot summer! With temperatures already reaching triple digits in cities across the U.S., one of the best ways to beat the heat is to chill with a cold beverage and watch a movie. Give your wallet a break from movie theater prices and have a staycation! Great American Family launches their first "Great American Summer" programming event featuring eight new movies premiering on Mondays and Saturdays throughout the month of August. And when these sizzling summer features end, it'll be time for Great American Christmas holiday programming in October.
