It’s sort of a blah week movie-wise and otherwise, but we’re happy to see each other and you on the latest Breakfast All Day. Alonso, Matt and I begin as always with this week’s Coronavirus news (including the cancellation of Comic-Con and Taylor Swift’s 2020 concert tour) before moving on to a truly random mix of film reviews: the lame Netflix rom-com “Love Wedding Repeat,” the horror satire (we think) “We Summon the Darkness,” Shea Whigham vs. Michael Shannon in “The Quarry,” the romantic drama “Endings, Beginnings” (which Matt accurately describes as Mumbledore “Reality Bites”), and the Irish thriller “Sea Fever.” And over at our Patreon, we dig into the first three episodes of the excellent Hulu series “Mrs. America” as well as recap the latest on HBO’s “Westworld” and “The Plot Against America.” Hope you’re all staying safe and well, and thanks for staying with us.
In case you haven’t seen it, Slate ran an interesting piece on how Hollywood’s handling the virus, mostly as it relates to TV shows. https://slate.com/culture/2020/04/hollywood-coronavirus-shutdown-deals.html
