Hop in and go for a ride with us on Breakfast All Day. This week’s movies are all about travel: “Jungle Cruise,” the latest film version of a Disney theme park ride; “The Green Knight,” David Lowery’s gorgeous and trippy Arthurian quest; and “Stillwater,” starring Matt Damon as an Oklahoma...

Breakfast All Day Podcast 5/28/21
Listening to the Breakfast All Day Podcast is the height of fashion, darling — especially this week, when we disagree strongly on a couple of new movies. Alonso loved the Disney villain origin story “Cruella” and I was not a fan (although the clothes are amazing). I loved the documentary...

It’s Meryl Streep Week here at Breakfast All Day as Alonso, Matt and I review the splashy musical “The Prom” and Steven Soderbergh’s latest inspired experiment, “Let Them All Talk.” One of these movies is definitely better than the other! We also discuss the super-duper Irish rom-com “Wild Mountain Thyme,”...
Read moreRogerEbert.com — Wild Mountain Thyme
“Wild Mountain Thyme” offers such a staggering array of Irish cliches, you half expect to see a leprechaun bounding across the lush, verdant countryside, hiding from those kids who are “after me Lucky Charms.” This movie is just relentlessly whimsical, and the accents are distractingly terrible. Writer-director John Patrick Shanley’s...
Read moreWhat the Flick?! Podcast 12/14/18
It’s a Christmas miracle: All four of us are actually here for the first time. And it’s a good thing, too, because this week’s What the Flick?! Podcast features blockbusters, comic book extravaganzas, serious awards contenders and everything in between. Ben, Alonso, Matt and I review the thrilling animated adventure...
Read moreWine the Flick?! — A Quiet Place
I’ve been a fan of Silversun Pickups for a long time, so I was thrilled to learn that Brian Aubert, the band’s lead singer and guitarist, is a fan of What the Flick?! too. And since he loves movies so much, I knew I had to bring him with me...
Read moreRogerEbert.com — My Little Pony: The Movie
Oh, man are the Bronies mad at me for my review of the “My Little Pony” movie. Sorry, my dudes, but it is not good. It’s like eating a giant bag of Skittles, then throwing it all up in a fit of sugar-induced nausea. So if you’re down for that, have...
Read moreRogerEbert.com — The Girl on the Train
The book wasn’t great. It was solid trash — a juicy page turner. The movie version isn’t even that. It’s a surprisingly flat and suspense-free tale of pretty people in peril. Emily Blunt gives it her all, though, as the title character: a damaged woman on a misguided quest for...
Read moreRogerEbert.com — The Huntsman: Winter’s War
“The Huntsman: Winter’s War” is for people who liked “Frozen” but thought it wasn’t angry enough. It’s a sorta-prequel, sorta-sequel to 2012’s “Snow White and the Huntsman” and it’s a total mess. The costumes are gorgeous, though. My 1 1/2-star RogerEbert.com review. Read the review here...
Read moreWhat the Flick?! — Edge of Tomorrow
Tom Cruise is at his best in this thrilling (and super-violent) sci-fi take on “Groundhog Day.” Doug Liman’s film looks great, moves beautifully and is crammed with clever details. But the ending is a bit of a puzzle, we also did a super spoiler edition to break it all...
