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!
The original Ant-Man is one of those movies that really divides the three ReelBlend hosts -- Jake Hamilton, Kevin McCarthy and Sean O'Connell. Kevin loves it. Calls Ant-Man a Top 7 MCU film. Sean and Jake like it, but don't put it on as high of a pedestal. How will that affect their opinions of the sequel? Give a listen and find out.
Since it's the middle point of the year, the ReelBlend guys also take this moment to list their Top 3 movies of the year so far. We can tell you this much. Avengers: Infinity War lands on all three of their lists. But their choices, after that, are wildly different.
And this week's #Blend game surrounds the films of Tim Burton. Burton has been a beloved filmmaker for many a year, and he brings a very distinct style and voice to his stories. But what movie qualifies as Tim Burton's BEST movie? The guys try and work that out.
Next week will be a different approach to ReelBlend. Kevin's on vacation, and Sean and Jake are heading to Paris to cover the Mission: Impossible -- Fallout world premiere. They will record a special ReelBlend episode from France, with a special guest in the third chair. It won't be live on the Facebook page, but you will be able to download it after the fact!
