Paul Greengrass (you read that right) joins the show! His work spans from the Bourne series to United 93 to Captain Phillips to his latest News of the World, a Western starring Tom Hanks. We discuss the story that drives News of the World, the incredible work from Tom Hanks which he thinks makes for his best performance yet, getting snubbed at the Oscars and more.
In standard ReelBlend luck, Disney announced a massive slate from across their tentpole brands towards the end of last week. We get into some of our most notable announcements, and how Disney's strategy fares compared to Warner Bros full streaming commitment.
This week's BlendGame proved to be a fun one. We asked you which film do wish you could go back in time and experience with a crowd during its opening weekend, and you didn't disappoint. Next week, we are celebrating Chris Pine's work with #ChrisPineBlend. Send in your favorite Chris Pine performance or film on Twitter using the hashtag, and we might read it out on the show.
