It’s just another day in paradise here at Breakfast All Day. Matt, Alonso and I review the justifiably hyped, “Groundhog Day”-style comedy “Palm Springs,” the bad-ass action drama “The Old Guard,” Tom Hanks’ WWII thriller “Greyhound” and a couple of documentaries: the searing “Welcome to Chechnya” and “Mucho Mucho Amor,”...
