It's bittersweet, but we are saying goodbye this week and ending the same way we started: breaking down our predictions for this year's Oscars Ceremony. Stick around after for a celebration of all things ReelBlend while we reminisce about many of our most cherished memories on and off the show. Thank you to everyone who has hung out with us for any number of discussions, debates, and of course interviews over the last several years. It's been the ride of a lifetime, and we couldn't have done any of it with you.  Until next time, Dunkirk!

The time has come for ReelBlend’s annual movie “Fantasy Draft” where we try to outdo each other predicting the highest-rated movies (according to Rotten Tomatoes) set for the 2025 release schedule. Timothée Chalamet may return for another awards race with director Josh Sadie’s “Marty Supreme,” James Gunn is making his DCU debut with “Superman,” Bong Joon-ho is blessing us with another brain-melting ride with “Mickey 17” and so much more for us to consider. Which 2025 release do you think will be the most well-received of the year? After our fantasy draft, stick around for our thoughts on the new trailers for “Jurassic World Rebirth,” and Marvel’s “The Fantastic Four: First Steps.” REELBLEND PREMIUM Sign up for a bi-weekly newsletter from Sean, and ad-free episodes at bit.ly/reelblendpremium [http://bit.ly/reelblendpremium].
