Jumanji: The Next Level's Jake Kasdan Talks Dwayne Johnson, Competing with Star Wars & More

On this week's show, we are joined by writer/director Jake Kasdan for his new film, Jumanji: The Next Level. He talks about finding the right story for a sequel, growing up with a filmmaking legend for a father, collaborating with Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart and the cast, and more. It's a really fun conversation that you don't want to miss!

During the main segment of the show, the guys react to the new Black Widow trailer, and try to gauge whether or not they're ready for more Marvel movies. The Gotham Awards were this week, and the guys take a look at the big winner, Marriage Story, to see what the overall awards race is trending towards. Jake and Kevin both saw Greta Gerwig's Little Women (starring Saoirse Ronan, Florence Pugh, Emma Watson) and give their reactions.

For this week's BlendGame, we look at our favorite Romantic Comedies of all time. Next week you can play along using #2000sBlend to share your FAVORITE movie of that decade.
