Episode 449: Remembering Gene Wilder review, Caddyshack: Was It Great or Were You 8‪?‬ Breakfast All Day movie reviews

    • Film Reviews

It's spring break, but we're still here with a new episode of our Breakfast All Day podcast. So you've got that going for you, which is nice. This week, we review the documentary "Remembering Gene Wilder," which is a warm and affectionate look back at the legendary comic star of "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory," "The Producers," "Blazing Saddles" and so many more. Our good friend Ben Mankiewicz is all over it, offering his insights. It's in theaters now and will be available on VOD starting April 30. We also play another round of our favorite game, "Was It Great or Were You 8?" This time, Christy chose "Caddyshack," the infinitely quotable comedy classic from 1980. Was this actually a great movie, or is she just remembering it fondly because of nostalgia? Let us know! For our Patreon subscribers, we're recapping the dazzling Netflix miniseries "Ripley," starring Andrew Scott as Patricia Highsmith's covetous grifter. All eight episodes are streaming, but we're taking them two at a time. Thanks for hanging out with us.
And if you missed Christy's Spring Break Livestream from her ski vacation in Whistler, here's a link to it over at our YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/44ANofRqR-w?feature=share
