Breakfast All Day Podcast 10/1/21
Not sure how it’s possible that it’s October, but we are here for you and all your fall movie needs on Breakfast All Day. Matt, Alonso and I review the “Sopranos” prequel “The Many Saints of Newark,” the American remake of the Danish thriller “The Guilty” and a couple of...
Read moreRogerEbert.com — Diana: The Musical
In retrospect, I may have been too kind to “Diana: The Musical,” which is full of peppy, forgettable tunes with clunky, pedestrian lyrics. At the center, as Diana, Princess of Wales, Jeanna de Waal is capable but stiff. And the whole production — which was supposed to open on Broadway...
Read moreRogerEbert.com — Venom: Let There Be Carnage
As you surely can tell from this photo, “Venom: Let There Be Carnage” is insane — but that’s what makes it such a superior sequel. It’s as if everyone involved realized that the silliness was the strength of the 2018 original and leaned into that, hard. I laughed a lot...

How do you do, fellow kids? We’re just regular high school students like you, here to talk about the latest movies on Breakfast All Day. Alonso, Matt and I review the woefully misguided film version of the Tony-winning musical “Dear Evan Hansen” and the mawkish and metaphor-heavy dramedy “The Starling”...
Read moreRogerEbert.com — El Planeta
A mother-daughter bond shines through stark black-and-white cinematography and surreal humor in “El Planeta.” The debut feature from writer/director/star Amalia Ulman recalls the scrappy, low-budget look and feel of the movies that marked the indie film explosion of the early ‘90s, but its dialogue and details are unmistakably personal. My review,...

Well, gosh, of course we had to get all gussied up for ya this week on Breakfast All Day. Alonso, Matt and I have a review of “The Eyes of Tammy Faye,” in which Jessica Chastain goes all out to play the flamboyant televangelist Tammy Faye Bakker. We also discuss...

It’s been a couple of months, but we’re back with another Marvel Mondays episode on Breakfast All Day. This time, Nic and I play catch-up with “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings,” which has been out for a couple of weekends so we do get spoilery. You’ve been...

It’s finally starting to feel like fall, from film festivals to kids returning to school (and hopefully getting vaccinated if they’re old enough), and we’re here with all the reviews and news for you on Breakfast All Day. Alonso, Matt and I discuss the Zoom-era charmer “Language Lessons,” the documentary...
Read moreRogerEbert.com — Come From Away
A musical about 9/11 might not exactly sound like a feel-good experience or even your cup of tea, but the filmed version of the Broadway hit “Come From Away” is joyous and deceptively layered. It takes place in the tiny town of Gander, Newfoundland, where 7,000 stranded airline passengers landed...
