Movie Dogs, A Willy Wonka Prequel And More

Powered by RedCircle

This week’s show dives into news surrounding the supposed confirmation from Zack Snyder that his Justice League Director’s Cut has shifted from a 4-part mini-series to a full, 4-hour feature film on HBO Max. News of Chris Evans in negotiations with Marvel to return as Captain America hit the trades just as we wrapped up the show last week. We debate whether that’s a good idea, and what it would take for us to get on board. There’s also been word of a Willy Wonka prequel story in the works with Tom Holland and Timothée Chalamet as favorites for the role. Why? Well, we don’t know either.

This week’s BlendGame honors our favorite pups from across cinema history with #MovieDogBlend. Next week, you can play along on social with #DenzelWashingtonBlend, and let us know your favorite performance from the monolithic talent Denzel Washington.
