Sean O'Connell Interview

Film podcast legend, Sean O'Connell, joins the show. He is the deputy editor of CBR (Comic Book Resources), former co-host of the beloved ReelBlend podcast, and author of three essential film books: Release the Snyder Cut, With Great Power, and Bruce Willis.

Zack and Sean go deep on the legacy of ReelBlend and Sean breaks down his work at CBR. Then the conversation turns to his books: the grassroots fan movement behind the Snyder Cut, the untold history of Spider-Man on film, and what it was like writing a career retrospective on one of Hollywood's most prolific stars, Bruce Willis.

Plus: the results of the legendary 2025 ReelBlend Fantasy Draft are finally revealed.
