Breakfast All Day Podcast 8/19/22
Idris Elba will save us all this week on Breakfast All Day. Our good friend Kristian Harloff joins me to review the thriller “Beast” (and if you’re not already subscribed to his YouTube Channel, you should be). Alonso and I also review the nutty horror prequel “Orphan: First Kill.” In news, we discuss Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, Jonah Hill, “Wednesday,” “Jaws,” “Sesame Street” and more. And we’ve got a ton of great stuff over at our Patreon: recaps of the first episode of “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law” and the second-to-last episode of “Only Murders in the Building,” plus a back-to-school Off the Menu discussion of “American Graffiti.” Hop in your car, crank it up and cruise the boulevard with us.
* Our latest Movie House Shout-Out goes to the historic and beloved Manor Theatre in Pittsburgh, where they’re celebrating their 100th anniversary. They’ve also got a fantastic array of films planned for their End of Summer Blockbuster Fest, running from Aug. 26-Sept. 1. To buy tickets and learn more about the Manor, visit them here.
I know it’s not popular to say or probably think but I find Idris boring onscreen. He’s definitely no Denzel or Mahershala. I find his acting fine but nothing moves or blows me away. It’s like warm fast food. Fine but never great. Just fine.
That’s not why I’m really here though. I wanted to tell you I just read your review of Stillwater and thought it was fabulous. I have a love/disappointed relationship with that film too. How I wish there had been a happy ending. They all deserved one (well, maybe not his daughter). But man, that last scene and Bill’s final words were heartbreaking. He’s gonna wake up everyday fully cognizant there is deep love and happiness in the world, and that he lost it.
Hey, Happy early birthday btw! Happy Birthday to a fellow Virgo. I just had mine on the 25th. Love my fellow Virgos. Take care!
