We are your valentine and
so much more on this jammed episode of Breakfast All Day. Alonso, Ben, Matt and I are together again --
three weeks in a row! -- with reviews of the sci-fi extravaganza
"Alita: Battle Angel," the horror-comedy sequel
"Happy Death Day 2U" and the extremely meta
rom-com "Isn't It Romantic." We also discuss
"Fighting With My Family," the feel-good Dwayne
Johnson wrestling comedy, and we play catch up with Steven
Soderbergh's excellent "High Flying Bird" on
Netflix. As always, we recap the latest
episode of HBO's "True Detective" (and this
one was gooood), and we discuss the Motion Picture Academy's
ridiculous decision to omit crucial categories from the
Oscars broadcast including cinematography (!!!)
and editing (!!!). Chocolate counts as a breakfast food, so dig in
and enjoy.
UPDATE: A couple hours after we posted this week's podcast, the Academy announced that it would indeed present all 24 categories live during its Oscar broadcast in response to the massive backlash it received. So maybe we helped ...?
