Moonfall (starring Halle Berry, Patrick Wilson, John Bradley) hits theaters this weekend, and iconic director Roland Emmerich joins us to discuss making action blockbusters with original IP. We of course chat about the making of Independence Day, showing President Bill Clinton the scene of the White House exploding while in the White House, taking on Universal Soldier with Dolph Lundgren and Jean-Claude Van Damme, and more. #Moonfall #Jackass The nominations for this year's Academy Awards will be announced next week, so we sort through some of our expectations and hopes for who will get recognized this year. Netflix dropped a trailer for their upcoming Texas Chainsaw Massacre reboot, and we react. And of course, stick around for our reviews of the movies hitting theaters this week, including Jackass Forever and Moonfall. 00:00:00 - Intro 00:02:30 - Housekeeping 00:06:25 - Roland Emmerich Interview 00:33:00 - Texas Chainsaw Massacre Trailer Reaction 00:40:32 - Oscar Nominations Predictions 01:01:53 - The Afterparty on Apple TV+ 01:08:20 - Jackass Forever Review 01:15:02 - Moonfall Review 01:25:58 - Our Favorite Roland Emmerich Movies 01:38:42 - Outro -- REELBLEND PREMIUM SUBSCRIPTION -- Want more ReelBlend each week?
