Episode 484: Megalopolis, The Wild Robot reviews

It's a quick but nourishing midweek serving of Breakfast All Day. We have early reviews of two big movies that are opening this weekend.

First, we couldn't wait to talk about "Megalopolis," Francis Ford Coppola's long-gestating sci-fi epic. We're extremely mixed on it, but that feels fitting, given the big, ambitious swings the movie is taking. Adam Driver, Nathalie Emmanuel, Aubrey Plaza, Giancarlo Esposito, Shia LaBeouf and Kathryn Hunter are among the massive ensemble cast.

Then, we review "The Wild Robot," the latest features from DreamWorks Animation. It's breathtakingly beautiful and features some great voice performances from Lupita Nyong'o, Pedro Pascal, Kit Connor and Catherine O'Hara. A strong choice for the whole family, even if it does turn a bit heavy-handed toward the end.

Check back with us on Friday for reviews of "Will & Harper" on Netflix and "Wolfs" on Apple TV+. And thanks for sharing some of your time with us!
