Welcome to ReelBlend! Join Managing Editor Sean O'Connell (CinemaBlend) and Entertainment Reporters Kevin McCarthy (Fox 5 Washington DC) and Jake Hamilton (Fox 32 News Chicago) as they discuss the latest news, rumors, and movies to hit the big screen. Every week we'll bring you movie reviews, inside looks at the news of the week, stories from the set, and interviews with your favorite filmmakers. Enjoy!
It's bittersweet, but we are saying goodbye this week and ending the same way we started: breaking down our predictions for this year's Oscars Ceremony. Stick around after for a celebration of all things ReelBlend while we reminisce about many of our most cherished memories on and off the show.
Thank you to everyone who has hung out with us for any number of discussions, debates, and of course interviews over the last several years. It's been the ride of a lifetime, and we couldn't have done any of it with you.
Until next time, Dunkirk!
