Second Breakfast Podcast

Today's Second Breakfast is about endings; namely, what makes a movie ending great? Also, a look at the new sci-fi movie about a kid with a funny name saving humanity: Ender's Game.

Phil and Andy debate the merits of the made-for-TV Annie remake. There's no debating the merits of Gravity, however. That is, it has lots of merits.

While you gorge on Halloween candy intended for children, check out a seasonally-appropriate Second Breakfast Mailbag. As always, these are real questions from our awesome listeners.

Halloween draws nearer, and Second Breakfast tackles an question of terrifying import: is Jaws a horror movie? Plus, discussions of other creepy films, balanced by Much Ado about a certain Shakespeare adaptation.

As Halloween creeps closer, Andy and Phil talk more about "horrorific" things (Phil's word). Namely, how movies manufacture scares with mood versus buckets and buckets of blood. Your Halloween movie marathon starts here.

t's time for another edition of Horror School. This time around, it's the 2004 remake of Dawn of the Dead. If you have one podcast to listen to while trapped in a mall surrounded by a shambling zombie horde, make it this one.

Today's Second Breakfast is a study in contrasts. On the one hand, there's Short Term 12, one of the best movies of the year by any measure. On the other, there's the last movie of Project Melway, which features Mel Gibson as a crazy person.

Phil and Andy try to cope with the Project Melway-sized hole in their lives by contemplating the vast emptiness of space, and also what's been on TV lately.

Project Melway is at an end (for now), so naturally it's time for some awards. And we have a lot of them. So sit back, relax, and revel in the Melsanity.

Another gluttonous summer of blockbusters done, and now it's time for the fancy stuff. That's right, it's the Second Breakfast Quarterly Preview for October-December, now with 100% more prestige pictures! ...and 25% more crying. There are some sad movies coming out, after all.
