Second Breakfast Podcast

Project Melway enters the home stretch with Edge of Darkness, which gives Andy and Phil the opportunity to talk about what makes a movie “dark” (besides the title), and the perils of filming in Boston. Plus, this week’s One Big Thing.

Today is the first installment of a brand new feature, Creme de la Creme, where friends of the podcast join Phil and Andy to talk about movies they love. First-time guest Damon joins the Breakfast duo to talk about Alien and Aliens. And mostly pretend the other three Alien-related movies don't exist.

Project Melway hits the top of a mountain in the middle of the jungle, and then starts running. That's right, one of Mel Gibson's best directing efforts, Apocalypto. Seriously. We're not even kidding. Plus, more summer movies you've missed.

Andy and Phil preview the weekend of new releases and talk about movies that hit just a little too close to home. Spoiler alert: there are emotions. Also, a super mailbag. As in questions about superheroes. And also it's super good.

A priest and a Jew walk into a podcast, and talk about a Mel Gibson movie. No, really. Come back. Today, Project Melway takes on The Passion of the Christ. What could possibly go wrong? Come for the crucifixion, stay for this week's "One Big Thing".

Phil and Andy tackle the next Project Melway entry/Robert Downey Jr. comeback vehicle. Also, a look at the weekend in movies, and two questions from our listeners.

Phil and Andy are back from vacation, and they have some scores to settle. Three weeks of summer blockbusters. A new format for Second Breakfast. Plus, another edition of Horror School.
