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....

RogerEbert.com — Spider-Man: Far From Home
“Spider-Man: Far From Home” changes the scenery but can’t quite match the inspired heights of its predecessor, 2017’s “Spider-Man: Homecoming.” It’s a lot of fun, and Tom Holland remains completely charming in his boyish incarnation of Peter Parker. But this sequel functions more effectively as a teen romantic comedy than...
Read moreRogerEbert.com: The Other Side of Heaven 2: Fire of Faith
“The Other Side of Heaven 2: Fire of Faith” is the sequel to 2001’s “The Other Side of Heaven.” It also wasn’t screened for critics before it opened. Both films are based on the memoirs of Mormon Elder John H. Groberg and his missionary work in Tonga. The latest film...

“Toy Story 4” doesn’t come out until next week, but we all liked it so much that we wanted to share an early review with you on the latest Breakfast All Day. Alonso, Matt and I also review a couple of other sequels: the empty and dull “Men in Black...
Read moreRogerEbert.com — The Secret Life of Pets 2
“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...

Everything is cool when you’re part of a team, especially when that team is the Breakfast All Day Podcast. For the second week in a row, Alonso, Ben, Matt and I all made it to the table. We talk about the high-energy “The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part,” the...
Read moreRogerEbert.com — The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part
It falls just short of awesome, but “The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part” is still pretty good. Crammed with colorful characters and self-aware pop culture reference, it’s high-energy and a ton of fun. Nothing could compare to the original “LEGO Movie,” though, which I gave four stars and placed...

It’s a veritable smorgasbord of reviews on the latest Breakfast All Day Podcast: new stuff, catch-up stuff, streaming stuff. And hey, lookie here! We’re back to discussing television, by popular demand. This week, Alonso, Matt and I review M. Night Shyamalan’s third piece in his “Unbreakable”-“Split” trilogy, “Glass,” and we...

We’re thankful that some of the best movies of the year are opening during this Thanksgiving week on the What the Flick?! Podcast. Alonso and I review the latest twisted delight from Yorgos Lanthimos, “The Favourite” — which may be my favo(u)rite film of 2018 — as well as Alfonso...
