Carson Lund's feature debut EEPHUS moves at the same deliberate pace as the trick pitch for which it's named, leisurely unfolding over the course of a season-ending game between two small-town recreation leagues that's also probably the last time many on the field will ever play. This week we're joined again by film critic and baseball lover Tim Grierson to discuss how EEPHUS approaches that sense of finality with low-key humor and a subtle sense of nostalgia, before bringing Ron Shelton's BULL DURHAM back on the field to compare these two films' ideas about aging, masculinity, and America's pastime, emphasis on the “past.” And in Your Next Picture Show we offer a recommendation for another unconventional baseball movie that offers a rarely seen perspective on the game, 2008's SUGAR. Please share your thoughts about BULL DURHAM, EEPHUS, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

Today's episode marks another entry in our New Releases series, where we dig into the latest titles opening in theaters and offer recommendations on what's worth seeking out and what's better left skipped. With so many worthy films to choose from lately, Film Comment's Devika Girish and Clinton Krute invited critic Tim Grierson (Los Angeles Times, Screendaily, and elsewhere) to help us whittle down the selection. Tim starts things off with a brief report from the South by Southwest festival in Austin, which he's currently attending. The trio then digs into some of the buzziest titles out right now—including Mark Anthony Green's Opus (7:38) and Bong Joon Ho's Mickey 17 (19:00)—before showing some love for a couple smaller, but still unmissable movies: Alain Guiradie's Misericordia (41:30) and Carson Lund's Eephus (51:46).

Quietly observing as a small-town recreation league plays out their last game of the season, and likely ever, the new EEPHUS is a feature-length subversion of “the big game,” simultaneously embracing and rejecting such baseball-movie cliches in a manner that reminded us of 1988's BULL DURHAM. We're joined this week by pinch-hitter Tim Grierson to discuss all the ways Ron Shelton's classic, often cited as the best baseball movie ever, throws out the sports-movie playbook, from its multiple protagonists and rom-com structure to its acknowledgment that baseball, like life, has an expiration date. And in Feedback, a frequent contributor returns with some bonus observations from our recent pairing of PRESENCE and THE OTHERS.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for February 28, 2025 is: cryptic • KRIP-tik • adjective Something described as cryptic has or seems to have a hidden meaning, or is difficult to understand. // The singer posted a cryptic message on her social media accounts, and fans raced to decipher it. See the entry > Examples: "When Neon first met with 'Longlegs' writer-director Osgood Perkins, [chief marketing officer, Christian] Parkes' team pitched a cryptic viral ad campaign that put viewers in the perspective of Maika Monroe's detective. ... 'We give the audience these clues that they can piece together to unlock the mystery of the film,' Parkes explains." — Tim Grierson, The Los Angeles Times, 2 Jan. 2025 Did you know? The history of cryptic starts with krýptein, a Greek word meaning "to hide or conceal." Can you uncover other krýptein relatives in English? Not surprisingly, crypt, meaning "underground chamber," is one, as is the name of the element krypton. Krýptein also gave us several words having to do with secret codes, such as cryptogram ("a communication in cipher or code") and cryptography ("the coding and decoding of secret messages"). And cryptocurrency is currency that exists digitally and that relies on computer encryption (secret code) to prevent counterfeiting and fraud.

The latest film releases include Last Breath, My Dead Friend Zoe, Cold Wallet, and The Accidental Getaway Driver. Weighing in are Tim Grierson, senior U.S. critic for Screen International and author of This Is How You Make a Movie, and Katie Walsh, film reviewer for the Tribune News Service and the Los Angeles Times.

It's late January, which means that the intrepid Film Comment crew is once again on the snowy slopes of Park City, Utah, bringing you dispatches, interviews, and podcasts covering all the highlights of this year's Sundance Film Festival. For the next week and a half, we'll be gathering the best critics on the scene to talk about each day's premieres on the Podcast. Today, Film Comment Editor Devika Girish is joined by critics Robert Daniels (rogerebert.com) and Tim Grierson (Screen International, Los Angeles Times, and more) to discuss early festival selections Marlee Matlin: Not Alone Anymore (2:35), Rabbit Trap (11:40), Twinless (25:40), and By Design (36:26). Catch up on all of our Sundance 2025 coverage at filmcomment.com

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for January 15, 2025 is: hackneyed • HAK-need • adjective Something is considered hackneyed when it is not interesting, funny, etc., because of being used too often; in other words, it's neither fresh nor original. // The new crime drama's characters are shallow stereotypes who engage one another in hackneyed dialogue. See the entry > Examples: “Any positive lesson here is lost in all the hackneyed jokes, and by the end the movie falls apart entirely.” — Tim Grierson, Vulture, 4 May 2024 Did you know? In his 1926 tome A Dictionary of Modern English Usage, lexicographer H. W. Fowler offers a good deal of advice under the heading “Hackneyed Phrases.” While some of the phrases he cautions against (“too funny for words,” “my better half”) will be familiar to most readers today, others (such as “hinc illae lacrimae”) have mostly fallen into obscurity. Fowler was not the first usage writer to warn against the overuse of hackneyed (that is, trite or clichéd) phrases; a number of authors in the late 19th and early 20th century had similarly (hackneyed phrase alert) taken up the cudgels against trite and banal turns of phrase. In 1897, for example, Frederic Lawrence Knowles advised against using “agitate the tintinnabulatory,” and in 1917 Margaret Ashmun and Gerhard Lomer discouraged “the dreamy mazes of the waltz.” Were these hackneyed phrases so objected to that they became obsolete? This is unlikely, as the same manuals which object to long-dead expressions also object to “blushing bride,” “bated breath,” and “one fell swoop,” all of which have survived. Perhaps a more plausible explanation is that phrases come and go with time. This is, in a way, a pleasant explanation, for it means that the seemingly ubiquitous phrase you detest stands a fair chance of, ahem, falling by the wayside. Only time will tell, as they say.

Highly-anticipated films hitting the big screen in 2025 include Wicked: For Good, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, Superman, 28 Years Later, Mickey 17, and more.

We're here to stuff your stocking (and stock your stuffing) with a lengthy, mid-week episode of Breakfast All Day. First, we review "Mufasa: The Lion King," a live-action prequel that traces the origin of the leader of the Pride Lands. Academy Award winner Barry Jenkins ("Moonlight") directs, and while we're looking all over for his artistic stamp, we're sadly not finding it. In theaters this weekend. Then, our great friend Tim Grierson helps out with an early review of "A Complete Unknown," James Mangold's Bob Dylan biopic. Timothée Chalamet is tremendous as the iconic folk singer, and he'll surely be in the conversation for the best-actor Oscar. In theaters Christmas Day. And speaking of the holiday, we wanted to share the audio from our annual Christmas Movie Livestream with the expert himself. This is always a great time, and Alonso loves answering your questions and hearing your thoughts about his favorite topic. Thanks to all the lovely folks who joined us live. Keep an eye (and an ear) out as we wrap up the year in the upcoming days. Thanks for sharing some of your time with us during this busy season!

We've got awards contenders and awful comic book movies and everything in between this week on Breakfast All Day. First, we have an early review of "Babygirl," which is one of Alonso's favorite movies of the year. Nicole Kidman stars as a high-powered CEO who falls into a torrid affair with her much younger intern, played by a seductive Harris Dickinson. It opens Christmas Day. Next, our great friend Tim Grierson was kind enough to step in for a review of "Kraven the Hunter" while Alonso is out of town. An incredible cast including Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Russell Crowe, Ariana DeBose, Alessandro Nivola and Christopher Abbott goes to waste in this extremely silly thriller. Supposedly this is the end of the Sony Spider-Man Universe, and if it's not, it should be. In theaters now. Finally, we catch up with "The Order," based on the true story of a group of white supremacists who robbed banks to fuel their militia in the 1980s Pacific Northwest. Jude Law and Nicholas Hoult star. One of us thinks this movie is good. It's in theaters now. No Movie News LIVE! this week, but check back with us next Friday.

It's the '80s all over again here at Breakfast All Day -- but then again, did it ever stop being the '80s?

So much happens in "Beau Is Afraid" that is dazzling, perplexing, terrifying, etc., that we knew we had to do a spoiler conversation to work through it all. We did it live on our YouTube channel with the help of our great friend, the brilliant Tim Grierson -- who liked Ari Aster's three-hour nightmare odyssey way more than we did -- and had a great conversation with our viewers. In case you missed it, here's the audio of that chat. Let us know what you thought of the film, and thanks for listening!

It's Gnarly Tuesday here at Breakfast All Day. We're catching up with a couple of super gory (but very well-made!) action/horror movies in theaters now. And if you can see them in a theater, you really should, because they're both such fun crowd experiences. With Alonso finishing his latest book, we've got a couple of great friends to share their insights. Horror expert William Bibbiani joins in for "Evil Dead Rise," the fifth film in the franchise, and Dave White helps out with "Sisu," a Finnish action flick that's like "John Wick," but with Nazis. (Yes, it's as fun as that sounds.) Make sure to join us Wednesday, May 3 at Noon PDT for a "Beau Is Afraid" LIVE spoiler chat. Our good friend Tim Grierson, who liked the film more than we did, will be taking part, as well. It'll be here on our Breakfast All day YouTube channel. Bring your questions and the images that have been haunting you!

Ana de Armas and Chris Evans are impossibly beautiful individually but have zero chemistry with each other in the spy comedy "Ghosted."

In news, we discuss Alec Baldwin, Victoria Alonso, the new "Fast X" trailer, the end of Netflix red envelopes and Twitter blue checks, and more.

Welcome to the Grierson and Leitch podcast! In this episode, Tim Grierson and Will Leitch review and discuss three highly anticipated movies: "Magic Mike's Last Dance," "Sharper," and "Your Place or Mine." Here are the timestamps for each film: "Magic Mike's Last Dance" (2:20): Grierson and Leitch analyze the trailer for the new movie in the "Magic Mike" franchise, which promises to be the final installment. They discuss the film's casting choices, plot details, and whether or not the series has overstayed its welcome. "Sharper" (18:40): The hosts review the new Apple TV+ movie starring Julianne Moore as a con artist.

It's star-studded this week on Breakfast All Day, as a couple of our great friends swing by to help review some new movies with serious A-list casts. Alonso and Christy talk “Black Adam,” Dwayne Johnson's long-awaited foray into the DC Extended Universe. Katie Walsh joins in for “Ticket to Paradise,” a scenic and superficial rom-com that reunites George Clooney ad Julia Roberts. Tim Grierson stops by for “The School for Good and Evil,” an overstuffed YA fantasy film on Netflix featuring Charlize Theron, Kerry Washington, Michelle Yeoh and Laurence Fishburne. And over at our Patreon, we have recaps of this week's extremely eventful episodes of “Andor” and “The Handmaid's Tale.” Join us — all of us!
