    Robert Zemeckis Talks Tom Hanks And Robin Wright In 'Here'

    30 years after “Forest Gump,” Tom Hanks and Robin Wright reunite with filmmaker Robert Zemeckis for “Here.” Last week, we were joined by Tom Hanks to discuss the making of “Here,” and his broader career. This week, director Robert Zemeckis takes a turn on ReelBlend to discuss the same. From the themes of “Here” connecting as far back in his career as “Back To The Future,” to how he created that mind-boggling mirror shot in “Contact,” we cover a wide range of the icon's filmography. 

    Stick around after the interview for our reactions to the film’s disappointing box office, and we play a Tom Hanks Bracket Challenge.

    Francis Ford Coppola Interview | 'The Godfather,' 'Apocalypse Now,' 'Megalopolis,' And More

    We are honored to welcome Francis Ford Coppola on the show to discuss his work, from “The Godfather” to his new film “Megalopolis,” starring Adam Driver, Giancarlo Esposito and Nathalie Emmanuel. The legend shared a few incredible stories from his early masterpieces including a minor change to “The Godfather Part II” that saved it for audiences, “Apocalypse Now” being denied by the studio system, inspiring young filmmakers, Quentin Tarantino and more. 

    After the interview, Jake and Gabe dive into their reviews of “Megalopolis,” a wild, original film that defies explanation. If you’re as curious as they were to see for themselves, head to a theater near you and come back to the comments section with your thoughts. 

    After “Megalopolis” spoilers, Jake and Sean get into their thoughts on “Joker: Folie à Deux.” They eventually get into spoilers, with plenty of warning, so keep an ear out for those if you want to avoid them. Next week, Oscar-nominated “Joker” cinematographer Lawrence Sher joins us to discuss his staggering work on the new sequel.
