It's an explosive episode of the Breakfast All Day podcast for you on this Fourth of July holiday.
We begin with the big movie of the week, "Jurassic World: Rebirth" which aims to reboot the decades-long "Jurassic" franchise. Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali and Jonathan Bailey are all wildly overqualified for running from freakish, mutant dinosaurs. In theaters.
Next up is one of the best movies ever made, and that's not hyperbole: Wong Kar Wai's masterpiece "In the Mood for Love" is back in theaters for its 25th anniversary. If you've never seen this gorgeous, achingly romantic movie projected, here's your chance. The impossibly glamorous Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung co-star. Check here to see if it's playing near you: https://inthemoodforlove25.film/.
Then we have another throwback review: "This Is Spinal Tap," which is in theaters for its 41st anniversary. The OG mockumentary about a British rock band on the decline is still hilarious and infinitely quotable all these years later. It's back for a limited run, and you can get tickets here: https://www.fathomentertainment.com/releases/this-is-spinal-tap/.
Finally, we did our version of The New York Times' list of the best films of the century. We each picked 10 favorites from the past 25 years, but came at it from different perspectives with very different results. This was a tough but fun assignment! What would you put on your list? Thanks for being here and enjoy the holiday weekend!
