Tye Sheridan Talks Dark Phoenix, Ready Player One & Working with Sophie Turner

This week, we are thrilled to welcome the talented, and extremely kind Tye Sheridan onto the show. Sean, Jake and Kevin sat down with Tye while attending the junket for "Dark Phoenix", and he was an absolute delight. He discussed working with fellow cast members like Sophie Turner, what it's like to hang out with Spielberg all day, and bringing the Fox X-Men franchise to an apparent close.

We also get into our usual shenanigans including "Godzilla: King of the Monsters's" less-than-stellar box office, the new trailer for James Mangold's "Ford v Ferrari" starring Matt Damon and Christian Bale, and of course run through the movies of the week.

For this week's BlendGame, we dove into the incredibly broad and impossible task of naming our favorite Science-Fiction movies of all-time #SciFiBlend. Next week, join us on Twitter in celebrating to career of Ron Howard by sending in your favorite work from his filmography using #RonHowardBlend.

Avengers: Endgame Spoiler-Free Review

Sean O'Connell and Kevin McCarthy are without Jake Hamilton this week. No, he hasn't finally quit (I think), he's in Napa soaking up the sun, and probably drinking way too much wine. However, the rest of the guys are here, because it's Avengers: Endgame week, and we have a lot to cover.

We also discuss some news regarding Marvel's Phase 3, the Academy's Board of Governors meeting and voting on rule changes to oust Netflix from the Oscars, and more. This week, we continued our run through some of Marvel's heavy hitters with #ScarJoBlend where we discussed our favorite films and performances from Scarlett Johansson.
