Truly, one of the more random collections of films we've reviewed lately on Breakfast All Day. On this mid-week drop, we've got:
- SEND HELP. Sam Raimi is back, directing the kind of truly gonzo horror-comedy he made his name on decades ago. Rachel McAdams and Dylan O'Brien star as co-workers trapped together on a deserted island after a plane crash. We enjoyed this so much, we wanted to do an early review. In theaters Friday.
- MEL BROOKS: THE 99 YEAR OLD MAN! This delightful, two-part documentary explores the life and career of one of the absolute comedy greats of our time. Judd Apatow co-directs, and has gathered a staggering array of A-listers to discuss Brooks' films and his influence. Streaming now on HBO Max.
- ARCO. We feel so-so about this French film, which is nominated for an Academy Award for best animated feature. A 10-year-old boy from the distant future travels back in time with the help of a rainbow-colored cloak and befriends a girl in the year 2075. We saw the English-language dub featuring the voices of Will Ferrell, Natalie Portman, Andy Samberg, America Ferrera and Flea. In theaters now.
Thanks for hanging out with us!

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
