Episode 481: Speak No Evil w/Kristian Harloff, My Old Ass, The Front Room, Movie News LIVE!
Listen now
Description
It's a truly random cross-section of films on this week's Breakfast All Day as we await prestige movie season. First, our old friend Kristian Harloff joins Christy to review "Speak No Evil," a remake of the Danish thriller about an American family visiting an English family they barely know at their remote farm. James McAvoy gives a delightfully deranged performance. In theaters. Then, Christy and Alonso absolutely loved "My Old Ass," a high-concept coming-of-age comedy about an 18-year-old (Maisy Stella in a star-making performance) meeting her 39-year-old self (Aubrey Plaza) during a mushroom trip. It's hilarious and surprisingly emotional. In theaters. For our final review, we catch up with "The Front Room," about a battle between a pregnant Brandy and her diabolical mother-in-law (Kathryn Hunter). It had potential, but fizzles. In theaters. And in movie news, we remember the legendary James Earl Jones, who died this week at 93. Plus: "Megalopolis," Cameron Crowe's lost Tom Petty documentary, the Emmys on Sunday night and more. Join us every Friday at Noon Pacific. You can also join us Saturday morning for our coffee livestream. We're meeting up at the Farmer's Market at 9am Pacific on Sept. 14, and we thought we'd say hello to our folks out there while we're at it. Here's a link to our YouTube channel. We hope to see you!
