It’s our last episode of 2022! So we’re wrapping things up with a round of Ask Us Anything. Among the questions Alonso and I answer: what’s the hardest part of being a film critic, what would we put on a Sight & Sound ballot, and what’s a great so-bad-it’s-good Christmas movie? Also, the brilliant Katie Walsh returns to help me review “I Wanna Danc…

It’s Foreign Language Friday here at Breakfast All Day. Alonso and I review Alejandro Gonzalez Iñarritu’s deeply personal, magical realist epic “Bardo,” now streaming on Netflix. We also review one of our absolute favorites of the year, the stunningly beautiful “EO,” which is the Polish donkey movie you never knew you needed in your life. (Click he…

Come on in, the water’s fine here at Breakfast All Day. We have an early review of the much-anticipated sequel “Avatar: The Way of Water,” which is finally coming out this weekend, 13 years after James Cameron’s original. We were dazzled by its imagery and not much else. We also review “Empire of Light,” Sam Mendes’ love letter to cinema in a year …

It’s a total coincidence but we happen to be reviewing “The Whale” and “Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio” on the latest episode of Breakfast All Day. We loved one of these movies and didn’t love the other. Tune in to find out which is which! In news we discuss Alonso’s new book, Taylor Swift’s feature directing debut, the American Film Institute’s li…

Just a quick but delicious midweek nibble from us here at Breakfast All Day. We review Noah Baumbach’s adaptation of “White Noise,” which is a whole lot of movie (and most of it isn’t good). In news, we discuss box office, Bong Joon-ho’s “Mickey 17,” the “Harry & Meghan” documentary series on Netflix, Kirstie Alley, Noodle the pug and more. And ove…

It’s December, so we’re officially in Christmas movie season on Breakfast All Day. But we have very different opinions of “Violent Night,” an action flick starring David Harbour as a butt-kicking Santa Claus. We are in agreement, though, about “The Inspection,” a sensitive and compelling indie drama about a queer, black man who joins the Marines. I…

Just a quick midweek nibble from us at Breakfast All Day as we review “The Menu,” the dark comedy starring Anya Taylor-Joy, Ralph Fiennes and Nicholas Hoult. It’s one of many skewer-the-rich satires out there these days. We also have some news headlines, including the huge box office opening for “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” Dave Chappelle’s “S…

We’ve got a bite-sized but meaty morsel of Breakfast All Day for you midweek with our early review of “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.” Alonso and I have a spoiler-free discussion of the much-anticipated sequel to “Black Panther,” but join us Saturday Nov. 12 at 4 pm PST at our YouTube channel where we’ll go live (for the first time!) with an in-de…

All 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 Bader Ginsburg, and “Stan & Ollie,” about Laurel and Hardy. And we…

Everything’s better down where it’s wetter in this week’s episode of the What the Flick?! Podcast. Alonso and I dive into the gonzo superhero movie “Aquaman,” as well as the surprisingly good “Transformers” prequel “Bumblebee.” We also slog through Robert Zemeckis’ mawkish “Welcome to Marwen.” Ben joins us to revel in the greatness of the gorgeous …

It’s a Christmas miracle: All four of us are actually here for the first time. And it’s a good thing, too, because this week’s What the Flick?! Podcast features blockbusters, comic book extravaganzas, serious awards contenders and everything in between. Ben, Alonso, Matt and I review the thrilling animated adventure “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Ver…

We — and by that I mean The Royal We — have a great cross-section of movies to talk about this week on the What the Flick?! Podcast. First off, Alonso, Matt and I review “Mary Queen of Scots,” with a pair of powerhouse performances from Saoirse Ronan and Margot Robbie. We also discuss the addiction drama “Ben Is Back,” the pop-music satire “Vox Lux…

I know I say it every week but it really is a jam-packed episode of the What the Flick?! Podcast. Christmas movies, awards contenders, cheesy Netflix flicks — we’ve got ’em all. Alonso, Matt and I review the Scottish rom-com-zom musical “Anna and the Apocalypse”; Andy Serkis’ performance-capture take on “The Jungle Book,” “Mowgli: Legend of the Jun…

We’re thankful that some of the best movies of the year are opening during this Thanksgiving week on the What the Flick?! Podcast. Alonso and I review the latest twisted delight from Yorgos Lanthimos, “The Favourite” — which may be my favo(u)rite film of 2018 — as well as Alfonso Cuaron’s devastatingly beautiful and personal “Roma.” We also talk ab…

It’s a jam-packed week on the What the Flick?! Podcast, and not just because of the prodigious casts in this week’s new movies. Alonso and I review the excellent heist thriller “Widows,” the so-so Harry Potter prequel “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald” and the feel-good drama “Green Book.” We also discuss this year’s Spirit Award nominat…

Christmas is here whether you’re ready for it or not, and the What the Flick?! Podcast is here for you, too. This week, Alonso, Matt and I review the animated “The Grinch” starring Benedict Cumberbatch, the Nazi zombie thriller “Overlord” and the political drama “The Front Runner.” We also play catch up with one of the best films of the year, Korea…

It’s the most … wonderful time … of the year. That’s right, it’s time for another episode of the What the Flick?! Podcast. And since it’s November, that means it’s also time for Christmas movies. This week, Alonso, Matt and I review the overstuffed yet empty Disney extravaganza “The Nutcracker and the Four Realms.” Alonso and I also talk about the …

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? They’re questions that apply to both of the big movies we review on the latest What the Flick?! Podcast: Luca Guadagnino’s thrillingly gonzo “Suspiria” remake and the frustratingly safe Freddie Mercury biopic “Bohemian Rhapsody,” which Ben, Alonso and I discuss a week early. Alonso and I also take a look…
