This week the guys get into Cary Fukunaga (True Detective: Season 1, Maniac) being hired for Bond 25, new images of the Joker movie cast, reactions to The House With a Clock In Its Walls (starring Jack Black & Cate Blanchett), they defend Life Itself (starring Olivia Wilde & Oscar Isaac), and so much more!

Most weeks on ReelBlend, the hosts dig into relevant movies that are coming to theaters, sharing stories of celebrities they've been able to interview or reacting to big-ticket news items and trailers that you, the listener, are excited about. Other times, they get stuck on an old movie that they happen to disagree on, leading to some heated debates.

For our 37th episode, Sean O'Connell, Jake Hamilton and Kevin McCarthy are finally together in the same room bringing you a MEGA 2-hour show from the Toronto International Film Festival. They discuss several films at the festival including A STAR IS BORN, BEAUTIFUL BOY, FIRST MAN, THE PREDATOR and more.

Jake Hamilton and Kevin McCarthy saw Searching, with John Cho and Debra Messing, and praised the film's unique premise and use of technology. The guys all weigh in on Ethan Hawke's strange dismissal of superhero movies -- choosing to zero in on the brilliant Logan, of all examples. And they try to make heads or tails of the latest Suspiria trailer. Good luck with that!

This week Sean joins us from London to discuss CRAZY RICH ASIANS weekend box office, Jake reacts to PAPILLON (releases August 24), the guys give their most anticipated films coming this fall, and more! Don't miss this one.

This week, the guys tackle recent news surrounding Star Trek 4 and the potential departure of Chris Pine, updates on the James Gunn situation at Disney/Marvel, reactions to 3 big films opening this week, Jake and Sean review BlacKkKlansman, and we wrap it all up with their favorite opening scenes. #OpeningBlend

In addition to attempting to make its annual Oscars telecast shorter (three hours now), and to move the date of the show earlier (February 9 by 2020), the Academy announced a new category honoring Achievement in Popular Film. Wow. How will they define "Popular"? What exactly does "Achievement" mean? And doesn't this decision water down the eventual Best Picture winner? The guys discuss this as well as 'The Meg', our favorite movie endings, and more in this week's show.

This week the guys discuss more of the news regarding James Gunn's firing at Disney/Marvel, the first Star Wars: Episode IX image from J.J. Abrams, the new trailer for Venom, reactions to Christopher Robin (starring Ewan McGregor), and more. Enjoy!

It takes a special voice to keep our movie-junkie conversation flowing on a weekly basis, which is why we were thrilled to finally have longtime friend and all-around ace reporter Ash Crossan of Entertainment Tonight on the pod! We discuss news and trailers from Comic-Con, the Joker movie casting, and Ridley Scott's BEST film.

Sean, Jake, and Kevin are back at it this week reviewing The Equalizer 2, Mission: Impossible -- Fallout (without spoilers), preview what to expect from Comic-Con, and playing a wild new #Blend game that had enormous audience participation.

Sean O'Connell and Jake Hamilton were without a key member of their ReelBlend family, as Kevin McCarthy was on a cruise -- but not a TOM Cruise -- this week. So our old friend and talented colleague Chris Van Vliet of Deco Drive in Miami filled in on the third chair, and was a fantastic contributor. The guys discussed the casting of Joaquin Phoenix as the Joker, the return of Billy Dee Williams to the Star Wars universe, Ant-Man and the Wasp Spoilers, and their interviews with Tom Cruise...in Paris!

Marvel Studios is back in theaters this week, cleansing the palette after the epicness that was Avengers: Infinity War. Aiming for a different tone, Ant-Man and the Wasp delivers laughs and action, with smaller stakes. That requires a gigantic and spoiler-free chat about Peyton Reed's new film, and the ReelBlend co-hosts are the perfect people to bring that to you.

This week, Sean O'Connell, Jake Hamilton, and Kevin McCarthy breakdown Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom, discuss recent movie news, and debate Arnold Schwarzenegger's best role and one-liner.

This week the guys react to Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, give their spoiler reviews of Incredibles 2, discuss news surround the Star Wars standalone projects, Terminator 6 set photos, and debate Robert Zemeckis' best film.
