This week we're grabbing our crowns, polishing our tap shoes, and heading to Mount Rose, Minnesota, for a review of Drop Dead Gorgeous, the 1999 dark comedy mockumentary where a teen beauty pageant turns into sabotage, scandal, suspicious accidents, and small-town chaos. Don, Jon, and Ken talk about the film's stacked cast, including Kirsten Dunst, Kirstie Alley, Allison Janney, Ellen Barkin, Denise Richards, Brittany Murphy, Amy Adams, and Will Sasso. They dig into the mockumentary style, over-the-top Minnesota accents, cult classic status, and whether the comedy still works today. From exploding threshers and “bad wiring” to pageant politics, creepy judges, and Allison Janney stealing scenes, the guys break down the good, the bad, and the absurd before wrapping things up with trivia, plenty of banter, and their final ratings.
Oscar-winner Allison Janney, Andrew Rannells and writer-director Jim Rash sit down with Newsweek's H. Alan Scott to talk about HBO's ‘Miss You, Love You,' a dark comedy about grief, estrangement and the unlikely bond between two strangers at a funeral. Janney and Rannells break down how they prepared for the role, why they memorized the entire script before day one and what made this one of the most satisfying projects of their careers. Rash opens up about the personal loss that inspired the story and the delicate balance of making audiences laugh and cry at the same time.

In 2011, director Tate Taylor adapted Kathryn Stockett's bestselling novel into a feature film with an all-star cast including Viola Davis, Octavia Spencer, Emma Stone, Bryce Dallas Howard, Jessica Chastain, Allison Janney, Cicely Tyson, and Sissy Spacek all getting a piece of the pie. Set among upper-class white families in early 1960s Jackson, Mississippi, aspiring journalist Skeeter (Stone) chronicles the lives of the black maids who play pivotal roles in running households and raising children, against the backdrop of segregation and the struggle for civil rights. The film sliced off a decadent $222 million against its $25 million budget, and scored multiple Oscar nominations including Best Picture, Best Actress (Davis) and two nods for Best Supporting Actress for Chastain and Spencer, with the latter actress taking home the statue. However, the film left a bad taste in some critics' mouths, who called out "white savior" tropes and the film's playbook "awards bait" scripting. Now we're taking out our notebooks, pouring ourselves a glass of sweet tea, and washing down a second helping of dessert for The Help!

Episode #154 finds the panel wading into the tiara-strewn chaos of Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999), a mockumentary so dark it occasionally feels like it's whispering its jokes from the trunk of a car. With a cast that reads like a particularly unhinged reunion, including Kirsten Dunst, Allison Janney, Denise Richards, Amy Adams, Kirstie Alley, Brittany Murphy, and a cheerfully bewildered Adam West, the film chronicles a small Minnesota town whose high-school beauty pageant appears to double as a low-stakes homicide ring. It is civic pride with a body count. The post Episode #154 – Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999) first appeared on Boomstick Comics.

Diane and Sean discuss the box office turned cult classic, Drop Dead Gorgeous. Episode music is, "A Girl That's Hip", written by Tim Carroll and Duane Jarvis, performed by Tim Carroll as appears in the film.Support the show
The premise (simple, but the film isn't): A privileged but messy NYC teenager, Lisa (Anna Paquin), causes a moment of distraction that leads to a bus hitting and killing a woman (Allison Janney). In the immediate aftermath she lies to the police—claiming the light was green—helping the driver (Mark Ruffalo) avoid consequences. The rest of the film is Lisa spiralling through guilt, grief, anger, and a need to “make it right,” while the city and everyone around her keep moving.What we talked about:Peak New York energy: classrooms full of political debate, constant noise, constant arguing, constant opinion. It feels like a movie made by New York about New York.The accident scene is brutal and effective: the sound design, the “oh God she's under the bus—no she isn't” reveal, the shock of the detached leg detail.Lisa as a catalyst/chaos engine: she's manipulative early (cheating, playing people), then becomes obsessive—fixated on getting the driver off the road.Adults failing her, repeatedly:Her mum is emotionally absent (Broadway ambitions, new relationship), and the mother–daughter conflict goes nuclear (including a shocking insult).The system shrugs: the driver is exonerated, and later the legal route becomes a cold negotiation rather than “justice.”The legal thread: the case can only move via next-of-kin dynamics; settlement money becomes the lever; but discipline for Ruffalo's driver is off the table because it implies guilt.Matt Damon “week” irony: Damon is barely in it—yet appears in the trailer—making the pick feel like a forced “hipster” choice.The uncomfortable Damon subplot: a teacher boundary-crossing storyline that lands badly and makes the film feel grimier, not deeper.Performances / cast notes: Big ensemble, lots of “oh wow, they're in this” energy: Paquin carries it; Ruffalo is an outright asshole; Allison Janney's presence is seismic even with limited time; plus Jean Reno, Matthew Broderick, and more orbiting the core. Pacing / vibe: Overlong, heavy, and (for us) pretentious rather than profound—with the most compelling parts being the accident's immediacy and the moral rot that follows. Theatrical cut runs about 149 minutes, with a longer 186-minute extended cut also out there. Verdict from us: Lukewarm-to-negative recommend. Strong craft and acting in places, but frustratingly long, emotionally abrasive, and not remotely worth it as a “Matt Damon week” entry.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

Tonight on On Trial, Mark Radulich and Jesse Starcher put two divorces in the dock: Danny DeVito's The War of the Roses (1989) vs. Jay Roach's pseudo-remake The Roses (2025). DeVito's film—adapted from Warren Adler's 1981 novel, scripted by Michael J. Leeson and produced by James L.

We're back from the Labor Day holiday and ready to take on the fall movie season here at Breakfast All Day. But first, we're playing a little catch-up with some end-of-summer movies you should know about. First, it's "Caught Stealing," the latest from Darren Aronofsky ("Black Swan," "Requiem for a Dream," "mother!") and perhaps his most accessible film yet. Austin Butler stars as a bartender who gets caught up in in a criminal scheme in late-'90s New York. It's a lark with a dark heart. Zoë Kravitz, Matt Smith, Vincent D'Onofrio and Liev Schreiber co-star. In theaters. Next up is another star-studded movie, "The Roses." You may remember this when it came out in 1989 and was called "The War of the Roses" starring Kathleen Turner and Michael Douglas. This time, Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch play a wealthy and successful couple whose marriage is about to collapse under the weight of their ambition and resentment. Andy Samberg, Kate McKinnon and Allison Janney co-star. In theaters. Finally, you should definitely check out "Lurker," an indie thriller that expertly explores modern celebrity. Alex Russell ("The Bear," "Beef") makes his writing-directing debut with this story of an up-and-coming pop star (Archie Madekwe) and the canny fan (Théodore Pellerin) who insinuates himself into his inner circle. Lots of twists and deeply uncomfortable moments. In theaters. Save up to 30% on select skillets and dual-handle items all September long with Lodge Cast Iron!

EVERYTHING'S GOING TO BE GREAT in Theaters now!Director Jon S BairdWriter Steven RogersThe Smart family's life takes a dramatic turn when tragedy forces them to confront their oversized dreams, struggles with identity and chaotic regional theater life. As theater manager parents (Allison Janney and Bryan Cranston) work to support their two sons — a hunky football star (Jack Champion) and his flamboyant, theater-loving younger brother (Benjamin Evan Ainsworth) — unexpected circumstances compel them to move in with Janney's estranged brother (Chris Cooper). What begins as a temporary arrangement soon unravels years of familial tension, prompting each member to reevaluate their place in the world and in their relationships.Director Jon S. Baird orchestrates this warmly observant comedy-drama with a perfect balance of sharp humor and poignant family dynamics. The powerhouse cast delivers nuanced performances, with Janney and Cranston demonstrating once again why they are among the most versatile actors working today. Their chemistry grounds the film's journey through artistic ambition and life's unexpected detours, while Cooper adds layers of complexity as the long-estranged brother. Beyond its headline-grabbing ensemble, the film's tender exploration of how families navigate change and disappointment resonates with authenticity as these deeply human characters stumble toward reconciliation and renewal in this stirring celebration of life's messy beauty.—Jarod NeeceDirector Jon S.

Editors - Catherine Haight ACE, Laura Zempel ACE and Isaac Hagy ACE SIRENS editors Cate, Laura and Isaac have crafted a television experience that intrigues and entertains the audience, while also challenging them on conventional gender biases. Their work on SIRENS was not just professionally unifying but creatively fulfilling as well. The team established a ritual of analyzing scenes together each week, discussing tone, performance, and overarching storyline elements. This collaborative approach allowed them to align their unique editing styles into a cohesive representation of the series' narrative. One of the remarkable aspects of SIRENS is its tonal balance—oscillating between humor, mystery, and drama. The show's collaborative ethos even extended beyond the main editing trio. They leaned on the talents of assistant editors like Jen Bryson, who ultimately co-edited Episode 5 with Laura. Based on her play, Elemeno Pea, Molly Smith Metzler's Sirens tells the story of two estranged sisters from Buffalo, Devon and Simon. While Devon is back in Buffalo, caring for their father who suffers from early on-set dementia, Simone is living in the idyllic seaside town Port Haven, working as a personal assistant for a wealthy socialite named Michaela. When Devon travels to Port Haven to bring Simone back to Buffalo to help care for their father, she finds a resistant sister who seems to be under some kind of mind control from her employer. When Devon refuses to leave without Simone, the mystery of Michaela unravels in a blend of drama and dark comedy. CATHERINE HAIGHT, ACE Catherine Haight, ACE is a film editor who has helped bring many award-winning television shows and films to the screen. Cate has had a long collaboration with Joey Soloway including the film Afternoon Delight, starring Kathryn Hahn, the award winning series Transparent, and I Love Dick. She also cut both The Polka King, starring Jack Black, and The Good House, led by Sigourney Weaver and Kevin Kline, with the directing team of Maya Forbes & Wally Wolodarsky. Cate also has edited the films Troop Zero, starring Viola Davis and Allison Janney, and Puzzle, with Kelly Macdonald and Irrfan Khan. She also cut the television series High Desert, Mozart in the Jungle, Girls, and New Girl. Her work on the pilot episode of Transparent earned her a nomination for both an Emmy and ACE Eddie Award, and she also received an ACE Eddie nomination for the pilot of Girls. Cate is a member of The American Cinema Editors and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Originally from New Hampshire, she now resides in Los Angeles with her husband. LAURA ZEMPEL, ACE Laura Zempel, ACE is a two-time Emmy Award winning editor based in Los Angeles. Originally from Sacramento, she received a BFA in Film Production from Chapman University. She began her career in as an assistant editor, and has gone on to edit features and television such as HBO's Euphoria, Apple TV's Lessons In Chemistry, Netflix's Beef. ISAAC HAGY, ACE Isaac Hagy, ACE graduated from USC film school in 2006 and continues to live and work in Los Angeles. His editing credits include feature films Waves and The Friend, as well as television programs Atlanta, Mr & Mrs Smith, Station Eleven, American Vandal, and Chef's Table. He has been honored with two Emmy and four ACE nominations. But to be fair, his Assistant Editor - a pit mix named Blue - does most of the hard work.
