Breakfast All Day Marvel Mondays: Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
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...
Read moreBreakfast All Day Marvel Mondays: Iron Man 3
“Iron Man 3” (2013) inspired the most hilarious discussion we’ve had yet on Marvel Mondays. Nicolas loved this movie, so we had a blast watching and discussing it. But also, there are so many weird, little moments during our conversation that made it stand out. We talk about the snappy...

My RogerEbert.com review. Read the review here...

A24 Films R for graphic nudity, sexual content, some violence and language. Running time: 107 minutes. Four stars out of four. If you like your movies comforting, safe and tidy — if you treasure things like catharsis and closure and enjoy having your questions answered — then you should probably...
