We’ve got a quick, midweek nibble for you on Breakfast All Day, but we promise it’s packed with nutrients. Alonso and Christy review “On the Count of Three,” comedian Jerrod Carmichael’s directorial debut; it’s a comedy about suicide, and we were so impressed with the tough tonal balance Carmichael strikes. In news, we talk box office, “Bridgerton” season 3, “Saturday Night Live,” Britney Spears, “RRR” and more. And over at our Patreon, we have a May Off the Menu discussion of “Ordinary People” (1980), winner of four Academy Awards including best picture and best director for Robert Redford. Thanks for joining us and we’ll see you again Friday!
