Breakfast All Day Podcast 6/11/21
It’s our 200th episode of Breakfast All Day! And what better way to celebrate than with the infectiously joyous “In the Heights.” Alonso, Matt and I review the big-screen version of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Tony-winning musical, which you really should see on the big screen if you feel comfortable doing that....
Read moreRogerEbert.com — Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway
By indulging in the exact same instincts it insists are problematic artistically, “Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway” wants to have its carrot and eat it too.

Trouble is, her...

Read moreRogerEbert.com — Smallfoot
The animated “Smallfoot” is full of big ideas: Question authority. Question religion. Think for yourself. Don’t accept the status quo. If only its visuals and dialogue were so ambitious.
