baahubali

Mystic mountains, colorful rainbows, majestic waterfalls. No, these aren't the contents of a box of Lucky Charms. These are part of the visionary landscape of the battle epic "Baahubali 2: The Conclusion." From director S.S. Rajamouli, who also directed "RRR", comes the sequel to "Baahubali: The Beginning." These films revolve around Baahubali, a legendary royal warrior who is much loved by the people of the land of Mahishmati. He finds himself in battles between would-be-conquerors and even with his own family which leads to epic battle scenes. Listen in to find out if it's worth checking out!

Oh hey, it’s just us, doing another round of Ask Us Anything on Breakfast All Day. Christy and Alonso answer more of your questions, ranging from our favorite movies to recommend to people, to the best Harrison Ford role, to how we got started as film critics. We also review the second half of SS Rajamouli’s two-part Telugu extravaganza, 2017’s “Baahubali: The Conclusion,” which we ended up liked better than “Baahubali: The Beginning.” We’ll be back next week with reviews of new movies, including “Nope” and “Bullet Train.” Thanks for sharing part of your summer with us!

We loved “RRR” so much and got so many great suggestions of other Telugu films to watch that we’re now digging into “Baahubali: The Beginning” on Breakfast All Day. Alonso and Christy were blown away by SS Rajamouli’s 2015 movie, and we’ll have a review of part two, “Baahubali: The Conclusion,” next week. Also this week, we introduce a new segment we’re so excited about: Was It Great, or Were You 8? We’ll look back at movies we loved when we were 8 years old to see whether they truly were great, or we’re just remembering them fondly through the rosy lens of nostalgia. First off: Alonso has chosen “The Bad News Bears” from 1976. When you’re done listening, you can vote on our YouTube poll. Let us know what you think, and thanks for spending part of your summer with us!

Kathy, Burk and Whitney have a Mystery Date and review three films we love. What is one of your favorites you would bring to Mystery Date!? We are bringing the classics!  We have a classic Brit character study, a classic horror film and a classic fantasy Indian film. Which date would you keep?

Watch our video review of this episode here!

This week Sean picked the Indian ancient action epic: Baahubali 2: The Conclusion. A film so epic that he forced Giannis to watch both part one and part two just to really stick it to him...like one of the arrows Baahubali shoots.
