Summer is over but we’re here to provide a ray of sunshine with the Breakfast All Day Podcast. This week, it’s just me and Matt — Alonso is away covering the Venice Film Festival — and Matt was nice enough to drive down to see me and play catch-up with...

RogerEbert.com — Good Boys
The good boys of “Good Boys” try very, very hard to be bad. But despite their adult aspirations over the course of a wild couple of days, it’s their sweet-natured innocence that ultimately sees them through every misadventure. The feature debut from director Gene Stupnitsky is a bit of a...

We couldn’t let “Crawl” slink away from us without talking about it on Breakfast All Day. Alonso, Matt and I play catch-up this week with the supremely schlocky thriller, which weirdly wasn’t screened for critics before opening day. We also review Lynn Shelton’s largely improvised indie comedy “Sword of Trust,”...

We’re still trying to figure out what happens in “Dark Phoenix” — and that’s without the confusion of the fire alarms that went off during our screening — on this week’s episode of Breakfast All Day. Alonso and I review the messy new “X-Men” movie, as well as the Emma...

“The Secret Life of Pets” was a lot of fun back in 2016. Not groundbreaking, not too deep, but clever and an enjoyable watch for the whole family. Its sequel, “The Secret Life of Pets 2,” feels like the nugget of an idea for three separate shorts, awkwardly stitched together...
