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!
