a deep dive on The Devil Wears Prada 2: film, fashion, art, and storytellingif you’re reading this leave me a 5 star review on Spotify and Apple Podcasts 💗In this episode, I analyze The Devil Wears Prada 2 with my friend and fashion consultant, Maria. I enjoyed this more than I expected to, but admittedly my expectations were quite low. I settled on 3 stars; Maria gave it 3.5. We discuss everything from the characters, plot, setting, and cinematography to the costume design, brands, NYC, and fashion industry. Thank you Maria for your time and expertise!**NOTE: after recording, I realized I forgot to shout out my recent 5 star reviewers!!

if you’re reading this leave me a 5 star review on Spotify and Apple Podcasts ❤️In this episode I discuss The Drama (2026), the new A24 “rom com” by Kristoffer Borgli, starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson. I have mixed feelings about this movie – on the one hand, I did really enjoy watching it and found it very entertaining and (for my taste at least) often quite funny. On the other hand, I bristle at its attempts at social commentary and find it sorely lacking in depth on certain character points. No doubt this will be a divisive and controversial movie, so please (respectfully and calmly) share your own thoughts on it!Tiktok https://www.tiktok.com/@movies4breakfast Instagram https://www.instagram.com/movies4breakfastpod/ Find me on all platforms at moviesforbreakfast.comChapter timestamps00:00:00hello!00:03:32spoiler free review00:09:37content warning00:11:19spoiler warning00:11:24opening scene00:14:27relationship montage00:17:19dance practice00:18:43wine tasting00:22:47emma's big reveal00:26:08charlie's questions00:29:21how well do you know your fiancee?00:31:10photographer meeting00:33:10things falling apart00:33:58why she never did it00:36:26half baked ideas00:39:21charlie asks misha for help00:42:54setting up the venue00:43:56the wedding00:49:19wedding aftermath00:52:24closing thoughtsMedia creditsMusic: Karl Casey @ White Bat AudioStock videos: https://www.vecteezy.com/free-videos/ Hosted on Acast.

if you’re reading this leave me a 5 star review on Spotify and Apple Podcasts <3My second book report on the pod! I was inspired to make this so that everyone can access Mary Shelley’s iconic cornerstone of science fiction in her own words, whether or not you have the time and energy to sit down and read it yourself right now. There’s much to unpack when it comes to Guillermo Del Toro’s 2025 Frankenstein adaptation and Maggie Gyllenhaal's The Bride (2026), but for today we focus on the original text, all of the characters and plot, and my interpretation of the themes Shelley explores.Tiktok https://www.tiktok.com/@movies4breakfast Instagram https://www.instagram.com/movies4breakfastpod/ Find me on all platforms at moviesforbreakfast.comChapter timestamps00:00:00hello!00:03:41context on Shelley and Frankenstein00:08:53Vol. 1 Letters 1-400:15:50Vol. 1 Ch. 100:27:45Vol. 1 Ch. 200:38:07Vol. 1 Ch. 300:46:20Vol. 1 Ch. 400:53:14Vol. 1 Ch. 501:01:52Vol. 1 Ch. 601:07:54Vol. 1 Ch. 701:15:53Vol. 1 Ch. 801:27:54Vol. 2 Ch. 101:29:50Vol. 2 Ch. 201:34:32Vol. 2 Ch. 301:38:30Vol. 2 Ch. 401:41:34Vol. 2 Ch. 501:45:12Vol. 2 Ch. 601:53:49Vol. 2 Ch. 702:01:03Vol. 2 Ch. 802:12:23Vol. 2 Ch. 902:16:22Vol. 3 Ch. 102:23:46Vol. 3 Ch. 202:26:26Vol. 3 Ch. 302:32:51Vol. 3 Ch. 402:35:34Vol. 3 Ch. 502:38:34Vol. 3 Ch. 602:42:43Vol. 3 Ch. 702:59:07closing thotsMedia creditsMusic: Karl Casey @ White Bat AudioStock videos: https://www.vecteezy.com/free-videos/Monster sculpture by John Wrightson (IG: @wrightstuffdesign) Hosted on Acast.

“Wuthering Heights” proves that anti-intellectualism is winning, and critical thinking gets punished.Last week I broke down Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë; this week, “Wuthering Heights” by Emerald Fennell broke me down. In this episode of the pod I give a (loose) plot summary of the movie, but mostly I analyze it and its role in pop culture as a test of media literacy and critical thinking. I get political a lot here and it feels necessary.Tiktok @movies4breakfastInstagram @movies4breakfastpod Find me on all platforms at moviesforbreakfast.comChapter timestamps00:00:00hello!00:03:17is it smut?00:07:20humor + style over substance00:09:24checking in re. feminism00:10:48theater audiences00:12:32my take on Emerald Fennell00:14:40let's talk about race00:16:45the great adaptation debate00:20:03start plot, opening scene00:23:22book vs. movie Nelly00:30:07childhood at Wuthering Heights00:35:04time jump & Cathy’s awakening00:41:31the Lintons arrive00:45:24“colorblind” casting00:48:27whitewashing white characters00:53:13Cathy and Edgar00:54:58the proposal00:58:26costume design + wedding01:03:27Heathcliff returns01:06:11Heathcliff + Cathy’s affair01:09:53Heathcliff and Isabella01:15:54book vs. movie Cathy01:18:09Cathy gets sick01:20:57Cathy departs, end plot01:23:34rant about press tour + marketing01:26:54rant about media literacy + anti-intellectualism01:33:04bye :)CreditsMentioned: Karolina ŻebrowskaMusic: Karl Casey @ White Bat AudioStock videos: https://www.vecteezy.com/free-videos/ Hosted on Acast.

An in depth review, synopsis, and analysis of After the Hunt (2025), which I gave 3 stars. My main sentiment is that this had an excellent cast, cinematography, set and costume design, but its weak screenplay undermined them all. Film is a collaborative medium and it’s only as strong as its weakest link.  Find me on all platforms at moviesforbreakfast.com :) Chapter timestamps below! -------------------------- 00:00:00 Intro00:01:24 Spoiler free review00:06:39 Spoiler warning00:06:48 Alma’s daily routine00:09:17 Alma's salon00:22:31 The morning after 00:25:02 The next day00:36:48 Hank's defense00:44:07 Alma goes to the dean00:45:21 All three cross paths00:51:39 Alma burns the envelope00:53:36 Hank's public crashout00:59:32 Maggie comes for dinner01:09:49 Alma and Kim have drinks01:15:40 The Yale Daily article drops01:19:32 Alma's backstory revealed01:22:52 Alma starts spiraling01:25:29 Parking lot confrontation01:29:26 Alma lashes out at students01:31:55 Disciplinary hearing01:33:55 The fight outside Beinecke01:40:43 Alma finds Hank crashing01:48:32 The op-ed and protest01:49:53 The hospital01:59:53 Epilogue02:07:19 Conclusion Hosted on Acast.
