It’s Hollywood’s biggest morning, if you’re into that kind of thing. Alonso and I break down all of the Academy Award nominations, both the ones we’re excited about and the ones we would’ve liked to have seen. “The Favourite” and “Roma” led all nominees with 10 apiece, which we were...
Read moreIt’s a veritable smorgasbord of reviews on the latest Breakfast All Day Podcast: new stuff, catch-up stuff, streaming stuff. And hey, lookie here!

Read moreAll is merry and bright on this final What the Flick?! Podcast episode for 2018. Alonso, Ben and I enjoy a spirited discussion of Adam McKay’s polarizing political satire “Vice,” which greatly divided us, as well. We also review a couple of biopics: “On the Basis of Sex,” about Ruth...
