Breakfast All Day Podcast 3/15/19

It’s a sampler platter of movies this week on Breakfast All Day, from indies to foreign films, great stuff to middling stuff. A very stuffy Alonso overcomes his allergies to join me in reviews of the all-star Netflix action thriller “Triple Frontier,” the subtly powerful Chinese drama “Ash Is Purest White” (with a tour de force performance from Zhao Tao, above), the dull and safe post-World War II romance “The Aftermath” and the French film “Sorry Angel,” about two men who fall in love in the midst of the AIDS epidemic. We also have a bit of movie news: the fallout from the college admissions scandal and how it’s hurt Lori Loughlin’s career (because any excuse to discuss Hallmark Channel movies is good for Alonso) and the announcement that James Gunn will once again direct the third “Guardians of the Galaxy” movie. Listen here or at iTunes, Stitcher or your favorite podcatcher.

  1. Sorry Angel is the most impressive film I’ve seen this year so far (Transit would be the runner up). Glad you guys liked it too.

  2. I realize that when a bigger part of TYT that it was ‘fun’ to see you (plural) discuss the movies, it is sooooo much better to listen to you this way than the youtube videos.
    Just my feedback.
    P.S.even though Alonso was allergy fueled the sound was better this week than ever before. So could we get that mic on him from now on?
    Please?

    • Thanks Sam! The mics are always the same, it’s just that there were only two of us and we were sitting right near each other so there was less chance for it to be echoey.

  6. In Jia Zhangke’s Mountain May Depart, there is a great dance sequence using Pet Shop Boys’s Go West in the opening scene. I have check out his latest film.
