  Weekly Blend Interviews Ewan McGregor
  Thu, 17 Jul 2008 14:43:35 -0400
  

  In 2004 Ewan McGregor and Charlie Boorman made a round-the-globe trip from London to New York on their motorcycles. The trip was documented and became the miniseries The Long Way Round. Last year, the two went on a second trip that took them through Africa which has been turned into The Long Way Down. The documentary will air in a miniseries format next month, but first Fathom Events is bringing a special director?s cut of the trip to theaters for a one-night event.

  We got the chance to talk to Ewan McGregor (the Star Wars prequels, Big Fish) and producer David Alexanian about The Long Way Down - the goal behind trips like these, the trials and tribulations they faced, and moments you can?t capture on film.

  Weekly Blend 146: Phat Nerd Cash
  Sun, 13 Jul 2008 17:18:15 -0400
  In less than a week The Dark Knight will descend upon us all. Will it be the movie we're all looking forward to? We'll see soon enough. For this week, we talk about Hellboy, how other movies are expecting to compete with The Dark Knight, the awesomeness of Robert Downey Jr., projects from Joss Whedon we're looking forward to, Comic Con anticipations, and whether we would be interested in seeing Ellen Ripley fight Aliens again.

  Weekly Blend 145: Just a Spoonful of Hellboy Helps the Medicine Go Down
  Sun, 06 Jul 2008 20:49:07 -0400
  The Dark Knight is on everyone's mind, but it's still two weeks away. Thankfully we have Hellboy to tide us over and get rid of that miserable Hancock aftertaste. We discuss the flow of super-hero movies, our take on the editorial of whether The Dark Knight will damage future comic-book movies, several pieces of casting news this week, and whether anyone really wants to see a Friends film.

  Weekly Blend 143: Back From Vacation
  Sun, 22 Jun 2008 20:47:39 -0400
  We're back from vacation and fully recharged. Of course, that means we're a little disconnected from this week's major events, but we still put together a pretty good show for your enjoyment. Catch our review of Get Smart, a moment of tribute for Stan Winston, a debate over Ridley Scott's recent career, and the first part of our response to AFI's most recent lists of favorite films.
