We’re thrilled to have our great friend, Tim Grierson, as our guest this week on Breakfast All Day. He joins us to talk about his new book, “This Is How You Make a Movie,” a brilliant, mini-film school that encompasses high and low culture and illuminates across genres. Tim also...

RogerEbert.com — Happily
A getaway weekend to a rented McMansion for a group of five couples goes horribly wrong in “Happily.” The feature filmmaking debut from writer-director BenDavid Grabinski is stylish and intriguing for the first half or so, and it boasts an impressive cast that includes Joel McHale, Kerry Bishe, Paul Scheer...

It’s a very special Monday serving of Breakfast All Day, with a couple of items that just couldn’t wait. First, we react to this morning’s Oscar nominations, which featured some history-making inclusions as well as some head-scratching ones. Plus, we couldn’t let this day go by without reviewing “Zack Snyder’s...
Read moreBreakfast All Day Marvel Mondays: The Avengers
It’s all been building up to this: “The Avengers” (2012), which brings together the superheroes whose films we’ve discussed so far on Marvel Mondays. Nic had never the first of these star-studded extravaganzas and really enjoyed it; I hadn’t seen it since it first came out and was just as...

We’re a year into this pandemic thing but good news is on the horizon — as well as at least one good movie — on Breakfast All Day. Matt, Alonso and I review the Russo Brothers’ sprawling drama “Cherry,” the family-friendly Netflix comedy “Yes Day,” Soleil Moon Frye’s nostalgic documentary...
Read moreRogerEbert.com — Cosmic Sin
“Cosmic Sin” is the movie that inspired me to begin my worst-of-2021 list. It’s a cheesy, sci-fi action flick about alien zombies which isn’t even fun in a bad, B-movie sort of way. And it features yet another sleepwalking performance from Bruce Willis. My zero-star review, at RogerEbert.com. Read the...

We’re all dressed up in our shiniest patriotic finery for this week’s Marvel Mondays episode of Breakfast All Day. Nicolas and I discuss “Captain America: The First Avenger” (2011), which he’d never seen — but he was fully aware of the insanely catchy theme song that accompanies the 1966 “Captain...

We’re more magical than usual this week on Breakfast All Day, with adventures featuring wisecracking dragons and patty-flipping sea sponges (and lots of Awkwafina). Matt, Alonso and I review a couple of animated films: the exquisitely beautiful “Raya and the Last Dragon” and the silly sequel “The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge...
Read moreRogerEbert.com — The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run
Absorbent and yellow and porous is he, but wring SpongeBob SquarePants out and there’s barely enough material to fill one movie, much less three. And yet, we have “The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run,” which is zippy and colorful and diverting during these troubled times, but not much else....

We’re hammering our way through this Marvel Mondays thing on Breakfast All Day. This week, Nicolas and I discuss the original “Thor” (2011), one of the movies that inspired this podcast series in the first place. Nic realized he’d never seen it, and I recall seeing it but not liking...
