Breakfast All Day Podcast 10/9/20
During these insane times, it feels so good to laugh, and we did a lot of that this week on Breakfast All Day. Alonso, Matt and I have one of our most spirited arguments in a while over Adam Sandler’s latest Netflix comedy, “Hubie Halloween.” We also disagree on just...
Read moreThe Do-Over
Netflix Unrated but contains graphic language, sex, nudity, violence and drug use throughout. Running time: 108 minutes. One half star out of four.

Read moreRogerEbert.com — Blended
Shockingly, “Blended” isn’t as terrible as most recent Adam Sandler movies. There is a vague sense of tonal continuity. But it’s still yet another example of Sandler using the excuse of making a movie to go on a lavish vacation with his friends — this time, to South Africa. My...
