April's gonna April, with a couple of forgettable action flicks we're mixed on as we wait for the summer blockbusters to arrive. We begin with "The Accountant 2," which is the sequel to "The Accountant," and if you forgot that 2016 movie even existed, you're not alone.

Episode 527: The Electric State, Opus reviews 19:42

1M ago19:42

19:42

It's a Pi Day miracle: We recorded these reviews in the same place at the same time for the first time in a long time. Five years, to be exact. And it was so nice to be together again at Alonso's apartment on this rainy day in LA. We begin with "The Electric State," an empty, ugly, $320 million action extravaganza from longtime MCU directors Anthon…

If you thought one Robert Pattinson was good, wait 'til you see two of them in "Mickey 17."

But while we both enjoyed Pattinson's dual performances, we're…

Wind us up and we talk about movies here at Breakfast All Day. Just a quick visit this Friday, as we're being pulled in various directions during awards season.

2M ago22:31

22:31

We have early reviews today of a couple big Valentine's Weekend movies: That's how much we love you here at Breakfast All Day. First, the disappointing "Captain America: Brave New World," which looked like it had potential as a suspenseful, '70s-style political thriller.

Episode 517: Love Hurts, No Other Land, Movie News LIVE! 1:02:00

3M ago1:02:00

1:02:00

It's an extremely February mix on the latest Breakfast All Day episode, including a terrible Valentine's movie and an excellent Oscar nominee. We begin with "Love Hurts," which we thought had potential because it stars Ke Huy Quan and Ariana DeBose, both recent Academy Award winners. But they have zero chemistry with each other in this action roman…

Episode 516: I'm Still Here, The Seed of the Sacred Fig reviews 22:08

3M ago22:08

It's a random Arthouse Tuesday here at Breakfast All Day, with reviews of two extremely different films.

3M ago51:58

51:58

For the most part, it's a surprisingly good week for January movies here at Breakfast All Day. We begin with the one that's not so good: "Flight Risk," and even that's not completely terrible. Mark Wahlberg stars as a pilot flying a U.S. Marshal (Michelle Dockery) and a fugitive (Topher Grace) to Anchorage, but the skies aren't so friendly. Mel Gib…

It's Arthouse Tuesday on a Friday here at Breakfast All Day, as we review a couple of major awards contenders. First, we rave about "The Brutalist," which will end up on both of our year-end top-10 lists.

Such a random mix of movies this week, but there's nowhere we'd rather talk about them than here with you on Breakfast All Day.
