Summer is winding down and that means we’re finally (hopefully) reaching the last of the big, dumb blockbusters here at Breakfast All Day. And “Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw” has got to be the biggest and dumbest of all, so naturally Matt, Alonso and I have some thoughts....

Breakfast All Day Podcast: A La Carte With Jeffrey McHale
Jeffrey McHale’s “Showgirls” documentary, the brilliantly titled “You Don’t Nomi,” will make you reassess how you feel about the so-bad-it’s-good classic. You may decide that it’s legitimately good, if not great. McHale spoke with me and Alonso about his upbringing in Troy, Michigan, studying film at Chicago’s Columbia College, meeting...

A couple different talking-toy movies are opening this weekend, so make sure you choose wisely when you’re with your family at the multiplex. We did an early review of “Toy Story 4” on last week’s Breakfast All Day. This week, Alonso, Matt and I review the latest incarnation of Chucky...

We’re at the height of our powers this week on the Breakfast All Day Podcast. Matt, Alonso and I review the indie superhero drama “Fast Color,” the insanely adorable Disneynature documentary “Penguins” and “Wild Nights With Emily,” a deadpan comedy starring Molly Shannon as poet Emily Dickinson. Alonso and Matt...

“Penguins,” the latest documentary from the folks at Disneynature, consists of 76 minutes of penguins waddling adorably across Antarctica. In IMAX. This is basically all you need to know. It’s got the cutesy anthropomorphizing that marks so many films in the series and makes them extra kid-friendly, but this time...

It’s only fitting that we’re a week late on “The Beach Bum.” Moondog can’t show up on time for anything, so why should we? Still, Alonso and I are conscientious enough to play catch up with the Matthew McConaughey stoner comedy on this week’s Breakfast All Day. We also review...
