The delightful Dave White (The Wrap, Linoleum Knife) fills in for his husband, Alonso, this week on Breakfast All Day.

Breakfast All Day Podcast 12/10/21
There’s a place for us, and it’s right here at Breakfast All Day.

Read the review here...
Read moreGone Girl
20th Century Fox Rated R for a scene of bloody violence, some strong sexual content/nudity, and language. Running time: 145 minutes. Three and a half stars out of four. There’s a particular kind of narcissism that comes with being an only child. You are the confident center of your own...
Read moreWhat the Flick?! — Gone Girl
Matt, Bibbs and I all went a little nuts for “Gone Girl.” This is our sans-spoiler review, so we tried to rave sufficiently about the film without giving too much away. But a spoilertastic edition follows, so be sure to watch that, too — but only once you’ve seen the...
