Blinded By The Light Director Gurinder Chadha Talks Bruce Springsteen And Music In Film

The first trailer for Greta Gerwig's adaptation of Little Women (starring Saoirse Ronan, Florence Pugh, Emma Watson, Timothée Chalamet) dropped this week, and the guys are really excited for her followup to Lady Bird. Jake talks about his recent interview with Avengers: Endgame director Joe Russo during an event for the films release on Blu-ray, and the guys dive into the many movies of the week.
