Ben Pearson, Brad Oman and Jacob Hall join Peter Sciretta for the August 10, 2017 episode of /Film Daily. On today’s show, a dumpster truck full of Star Wars: The Last Jedi information has been dumped upon the world and we try to scavenge through the pile, as well as talk about Hellboy reboot casting.
