We're in a bit of an in-between space as the summer blockbusters are winding down but fall festival season hasn't quite begun. But we've always got thoughts on whatever the latest movies are.

Here's what we reviewed this week on our Breakfast All Day podcast:

  • ONE NIGHT ONLY. It's "The Purge," but for sex. People can only do it once a year over a 12-hour period for ... reasons? We have lots of questions about this film's internal logic, as well as its general purpose. Monica Barbaro and Callum Turner star. In theaters.

  • TONY. Dominic Sessa stars as a young Anthony Bourdain, making mistakes and pissing people off during the summer of 1975 in Provincetown, Mass. Directed by Matt Johnson, who also made "Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie" this year. This one, we loved. In limited release now before opening nationwide Aug. 21.

  • MOVIE NEWS LIVE! Lots to discuss as always, including the record-breaking box office of "Spider-Man: Brand New Day," the trailer for "Primetime" starring Robert Pattinson, Ariana Grande taking a break from performing, and more. Join us on Fridays at Noon Pacific.

Thanks for starting your weekend with us!
