Breakfast All Day Marvel Mondays — Eternals
It’s been a little while, but Nicolas and I are back with another Marvel Mondays episode of Breakfast All Day. This time we take on “Eternals,” and we have mixed feelings about it. Nic and I discuss how uniquely beautiful director and co-writer Chloe Zhao‘s film is and how exciting...
Read moreRogerEbert.com — Eternals

The result is a blockbuster of unusual gentle beauty that also strains to fulfill the gargantuan requirements of a massive action spectacle. My mixed...
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...

LaToya Morgan is a longtime TV writer and producer whose work includes “Shameless,” “Parenthood” and “Into the Badlands.” She’s also a cool, smart, funny woman in general, so I’m thrilled that she took the time to chat with me for this A La Carte episode. LaToya talks about growing up...

We’re still trying to figure out what happens in “Dark Phoenix” — and that’s without the confusion of the fire alarms that went off during our screening — on this week’s episode of Breakfast All Day. Alonso and I review the messy new “X-Men” movie, as well as the Emma...
