Transformers is only a few weeks away, but other franchises from the '80s are lining up in preparation for the success of transforming robots. Meanwhile we're still hot about Fox attempting to ignore the existing Die Hard movies and wonder if other franchises might start adopting the same idea. Other topics of discussion: Disney and Stan Lee, build your own wizarding Nazi kit, and Mike Tyson goes Bollywood.

It's been a while since we've had a good Stephen King adaptation in theaters. The upcoming 1408 with John Cusack and Samuel L. Jackson looks pretty promising. Director Mikael Hafstrom talks one on one with us about his first English mainstream horror film, the challenges of working on a film that focuses on one man alone in a hotel room, and what genre the Derailed director would like to tackle in the future.

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End broke the Memorial Day weekend record, although it missed the weekend record set by Spider-Man 3 just a few weeks ago. We give you our respective takes on the latest chapter from Captain Jack Sparrow. Also: following up on a few recent stories, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty was a short story first, Keanu Reeves in Watchmen, and some shameless self-promotion from Rafe.

Spider-Man 3 is almost upon us! That alone could be enough to drive the show to distraction, but instead we center this episode around our most anticipated movie of 2007. Join us as we discuss the Cinema Blend list of top superheroes, make our predictions for next weekend's box office numbers, and discuss other comic book news. Also: is there a movie Matt Damon hasn't been theoretically attached to at any point lately? (Third seat: Tim Kennard)

The tragedy at Virginia Tech definitely hit home for the Weekly Blend, which records in Roanoke, Virginia. While we don't spend the entire show discussing how this week's events have affected us, we do give it a few minutes of our time. After that it's back to show as usual, including a look at this week's pathetic box office, the celebration of Sanjaya's booting, and a look at upcoming comic book movies.

Imus's slip of the tongue and the overblown consequences generate this week's show title and our opening discussion.

Along the way we break for "Drive" and and another Margaret rant on sequels.

I’m sure fans will disagree, but I think Grindhouse can officially be considered a flop having been defeated at the box-office by Are We Done Yet?. We talk about the dismal Easter box office weekend, the need for characters to evolve over time, and CinemaBlend’s ongoing “yes he did” “no I didn’t” story between Fox Atomic and Danny Boyle.

Is Margaret's hostility this week towards Tim taking her place on last week's show legitimate or just part of an elaborate April Fools gag? We'll never tell. That's the closest we might get to an April Fool's joke though as we discuss serious casting news, respond to some listener comments, bomb out "Lost" for one of the worst episodes yet, and admit a new obsession: "American Idol." Seriously America - Sanjaya?
