About this listen

On each episode of the Movies for Breakfast podcast, I review, analyze, and discuss one movie in depth, sometimes with a guest. My criticism is informed by my opinions on film, other media, art, culture, politics, history, and vibes.

As much as I’m brutally honest, I also try to be fair. Movies are subjective at the end of the day, and I am not here to cinephilically explain to you why your favorite film should be Citizen Kane.

XOXO, Kristy

  • It Was Just An Accident (2025)
    Jan 23 2026

    An in depth review, synopsis, and analysis of It Was Just An Accident (2025), winner of the Palme d’Or at Cannes 2025! I give it 5 stars and rank it among my favorites of the year. In this episode I discuss the themes of political violence, justice, and redemption, and I analyze the techniques Jafar Panahi used to explore them while making this film in secret in Iran.
