Episode 501: Queer, Nutcrackers reviews

Just a quick Black Friday pop-in here at Breakfast All Day to provide you with some entertainment while you're out hunting for savings.

First, we review "Queer," starring Daniel Craig as a gay man looking for love, inspiration and his next drug hit in 1950s Mexico City. Craig is marvelously funny and vulnerable here in the second movie of the year from the great Luca Guadagnino, following "Challengers." Drew Starkey and Jason Schwartzman co-star. In theaters now in limited release.

Then, of course we had to talk about the holiday comedy "Nutcrackers" from director David Gordon Green in a return to his indie roots. Ben Stiller stars as a big-city executive who travels to small-town Ohio to care for his rambunctious nephews, who've recently been orphaned. We're mixed on how well this works, but we're both glad to see Green taking a break from ruining iconic horror franchises. Streaming now on Hulu.

Have a great rest of your holiday weekend, and thanks for sharing some of it with us. We'll see you in December!
