Listening to the Breakfast All Day Podcast is the height of fashion, darling — especially this week, when we disagree strongly on a couple of new movies. Alonso loved the Disney villain origin story “Cruella” and I was not a fan (although the clothes are amazing). I loved the documentary...

RogerEbert.com — Moby Doc
The surreal “Moby Doc” breathes thrilling new life into the music documentary. These films often offer behind-the-scenes looks at the musicians we love but are sometimes so singularly celebratory as to be infomercials. The electronic dance artist Moby, who gained international fame and acclaim around the turn of the millennium...
Read moreBreakfast All Day Marvel Mondays: Spider-Man: Homecoming
This week on Marvel Mondays, we’re up to “Spider-Man: Homecoming” (2017), one of Nicolas’ absolute favorites and a movie he’d been looking forward to revisiting since the beginning of our series. He and I discuss the infectious joy of Tom Holland’s performance, the cool, meta casting of Michael Keaton, the...

Movie theaters are opening and nature is healing — unless you’re a zombie — on Breakfast All Day. This week, Alonso, Matt and I review Zack Snyder’s “Army of the Dead,” one of the more enjoyable examples of the director’s muscular style. Also: the documentary “P!nk: All I Know So...

Rocket and Drax and Groot — now in baby form — are back in “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” (2017), the rare sequel that’s better than the original. At least I think so on this week’s episode of Marvel Mondays. Nicolas loves it, too, beginning with its exuberantly joyful...

We’ve all been trapped inside like “The Woman in the Window” for far too long, but things are looking up here at Breakfast All Day. Matt, Alonso and I have mixed reactions to this brazen Hitchcock homage with an all-star cast led by Amy Adams. We also review “Spiral: From...
Read moreRogerEbert.com — The Woman in the Window
The long-delayed “The Woman in the Window” is getting savaged critically, but I kinda didn’t hate it. Joe Wright’s Hitchcock homage is stylishly made, has a tremendous cast including Amy Adams, Julianne Moore, Gary Oldman, Brian Tyree Henry and screenwriter Tracy Letts, and it’s intriguing for a while. But when...
Read moreBreakfast All Day Marvel Mondays: Doctor Strange
This week on Marvel Mondays, we get to revisit one of my absolute favorite MCU movies: “Doctor Strange” (2016), which is singular and funny and dazzling and, yes, strange. Nicolas and I talk about how Benedict Cumberbatch‘s character is the kind of archetype Tom Cruise often plays, how playful and...

Sure, it’s Mother’s Day weekend, but Alonso, Matt and I have a bunch of movies about dudes to review on Breakfast All Day. Guy Ritchie and Jason Statham re-team for the heist thriller “Wrath of Man.” Billy Crystal directs and stars as an aging comedian with dementia in “Here Today.”...
Read moreRogerEbert.com — Monster
A tremendous cast can only do so much with paper-thin characters and a frustrating narrative structure in “Monster.” The long-delayed drama stars Kelvin Harrison Jr. as a young man with a bright future who’s wrongly charged with murder after a Harlem bodega killing. It’s unfortunately all-too relevant but it’s also...
