S5 Ep 403Episode 403: The Exorcist: Believer, Dicks: The Musical reviews
The Devil made us do it, and by "it," we mean reviewing the latest movies here at Breakfast All Day. We were not scared in the slightest by David Gordon Green's "The Exorcist: Believer," a direct sequel to the 1973 horror classic and the first of three films he has planned in the franchise. But we're extremely split on the wildly raunchy "Dicks: The Musical." One of us liked the A24 comedy and the other didn't -- can you guess who is who? And it's a big day over at our Patreon, between the "Ahsoka" finale and the "Loki" season 2 premiere, plus the latest episode of "The Morning Show," which was jam-packed.

S5 Ep 402Episode 402: Foe (NO Spoilers!), Strange Way of Life reviews
Just a quick midweek pop-in on this very busy week! October in general is kinda crazy, but we'll always find time to talk about the latest movies with you here at Breakfast All Day. First, Saoirse Ronan and Paul Mescal are beautiful and miserable in a dystopian future in the frustrating drama "Foe." We do our best to talk about it without spoilers. We also have a quick chat about "Strange Way of Life," Pedro Almodovar's queer Western short starring Ethan Hawke and Pedro Pascal.

S5 Ep 401Episode 401: Movie News, The Creator (NO Spoilers!), The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar
We've got big, bold sci-fi, and small, sweet shorts on the latest episode of the Breakfast All Day podcast.

S5 Ep 400Episode 400: Movie News, Flora and Son review
It's our 400th podcast episode here at Breakfast All Day! And what better way to celebrate than with an end to the Writers Guild strike and a review of a lovely new movie. Alonso and Christy have a quick but exciting news segment, including a WGA deal after five months of picketing and the classic '80s TV series "Moonlighting" coming to Hulu starting Oct. 10.

S5 Ep 399Episode 399: Expend4bles, Stop Making Sense 4K Restoration reviews
We've got high and low culture here at Breakfast All Day, and we'll let you figure out which one is which. First, we review "Expend4bles," the fourth movie in the "Expendables" franchise and by far the worst. But we also get to discuss one of our favorite movies ever -- and one of the best of the year, even though it came out in 1984 -- Jonathan Demme's Talking Heads concert film "Stop Making Sense." It's in IMAX for one week in a glorious 4K restoration, then playing everywhere starting Sept. 29. Truly a must-see in the theater! And for our Patreon subscribers, recaps of "Ahsoka" and "The Morning Show." Thanks for sharing some of your time with us! *Thinking of cutting the cord?

S5 Ep 398Episode 398: Movie News, Dumb Money review
Nothing but the smartest reviews here at Breakfast All Day. We're not totally on the same page about "Dumb Money," based on the GameStop stock explosion of 2020, but we agree that it features great performances from its ensemble cast, including Paul Dano, Pete Davidson, America Ferrera and Vincent D'Onofrio. In news, we discuss all the talk shows that have gone back on hold because of the strikes, "Lando," Russell Brand, "Winning Time" and more.

We wouldn't dream of spoiling "A Haunting in Venice," but we can say it's Kenneth Branagh's best Agatha Christie adaptation yet. We have a spoiler-free review of this gorgeous thriller on the latest episode of the Breakfast All Day podcast. In news, we discuss the "Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour" movie, Bill Maher, Chris Pine, the return of *NSYNC and more. Over on our Patreon, we recap the first two nutty episodes of "The Morning Show" season 3 on Apple TV+, as well as the week's lengthy episode of "Ahsoka," which was surprisingly great.

S5 Ep 396Episode 396: Movie News, El Conde, Scrapper
Just a quick midweek drop in here at Breakfast All Day but it's loaded with good stuff. We have reviews of a couple of films we both really liked: Pablo Larrain's lushly beautiful, black-and-white "El Conde," which depicts former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet as an actual vampire; and the witty and sweet indie dramedy "Scrapper," which has hints of "Paper Moon" in its unusual father-daughter bond. (Christy loved it.) In news, we discuss box office, Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis, Drew Barrymore and more.

S5 Ep 393Episode 393: Movie News, Bottoms review
We laughed our asses off at "Bottoms," a delightfully nutty indie comedy that's in theaters now.

S5 Ep 388Episode 388: Movie News, They Cloned Tyrone (NO Spoilers!)
Have you seen "They Cloned Tyrone"? It's this trippy sci-fi/comedy that upends blaxploitation tropes and keeps you guessing the whole way through. We have a spoiler-free catch-up review of the Netflix film, starring a terrific John Boyega, Teyonah Parris and Jamie Foxx, on the latest Breakfast All Day. In news, we remember the legendary director William Friedkin ("The Exorcist," "The French Connection"), who died at 87.

S5 Ep 387Episode 387: Movie News, Meg 2: The Trench, Shortcomings, Talk to Me With Katie Walsh
Surely, if anyone can save us from rampaging megalodons, it's Jason Statham on a Jet-Ski. At least that's the point of "Meg 2: The Trench," which takes way too long to get going. We have a review of this surprisingly dull late-summer sequel on Breakfast All Day. We also review the indie rom-com "Shortcomings," Randall Park's feature directorial debut, starring Justin H. Min, Sherry Cola and Ally Maki. Plus the always brilliant Katie Walsh helps out with a catch-up review of the Australian horror movie "Talk to Me."

Also: the latest in Barbenheimer box office, the writers' and actors' strikes, and the "Loki" season 2 trailer. Plus we have a review of the animated comedy "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem," which is shockingly pretty great. Be on the lookout for reviews of "Talk to Me" and "Meg 2: The Trench" later this week. Thanks as always for sharing your time with us, and hope you're keeping cool!
S5 Ep 385Episode 385: 9 to 5: Was It Great or Were You 8?
Travel back in time with us to 1980 for the latest round of our favorite game: Was It Great or Were You 8? This time, it was Christy's turn to pick a favorite movie from childhood to determine whether it truly was great or she just remembers it fondly through nostalgia. She chose "9 to 5," the workplace comedy starring Lily Tomlin, Dolly Parton and Jane Fonda. What do you think of the film? Let us know!

We also review the extremely R-rated comedy "Joy Ride," which features a great cast and a healthy mix of raunchy and sweet.

And over at our Patreon, we recap this week's "Secret Invasion" on Disney+ and "The Bear" episodes 5 and 6 (the star-studded Christmas fiasco) on Hulu. Thanks for sharing some of your summer with us!

In news, we talk about the use of AI in the "Secret Invasion" titles, the gutting of Turner Classic Movies, and a bunch of new trailers including "Challengers" and "The Beanie Bubble." And speaking of "Secret Invasion," we recap episode 1 of the new Disney+ Marvel series on our Patreon along with the first two episodes of "The Bear" season 2 on Hulu. Heard, Chef! Thanks for joining us here at Breakfast All Day.
S5 Ep 377Episode 377: The Flash Spoilers/Summer Movie Chat
Our latest LIVE spoiler chat was so much fun! Thanks to everyone who shared part of their day with us. In case you missed the conversation on our YouTube channel, here it is in podcast form. We discussed spoilers and box office for "The Flash," as well as "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse," "Barbie," "Oppenheimer" and the notions of fan service and superhero fatigue in general. Give it a listen and share your thoughts! And if you haven't subscribed to our Breakfast All Day channel, we'd love to have you. We'll do another one of these in late July, so we hope to see you then!
S5 Ep 376Episode 376: The Blackening, Lynch/Oz reviews
We're dropping in with a quick, mid-week catch-up on a couple of movies we think you'll enjoy. First, we review "The Blackening," a horror comedy that takes a sharp, satirical look at the way black characters so often are depicted in slasher flicks. Plus, we discuss the documentary "Lynch/Oz," a thrilling and thought-provoking video essay that explores how "The Wizard of Oz" has influenced David Lynch over the years. (For a list of release dates throughout the summer, click here.) Check back with us on Friday for an early look at "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny." Until then, thanks for sharing some of your time with us here at Breakfast All Day!
S5 Ep 375Episode 375: Movie News, Elemental review
Grab yourself some popcorn and a drink and join us for our review of "Elemental." We both really liked the latest from Pixar on the latest episode of Breakfast All Day -- it's gorgeous and very entertaining -- even if it doesn't reach the heights of the animation company's greatest films. In movie news, we discuss the loss of a few greats in their industries: actress Glenda Jackson, author Cormac McCarthy and comic artist John Romita Sr. Also: the Netflix "Wham!" documentary trailer, and the possibility of Sarah Polley directing a live-action "Bambi" for Disney. Over at our Patreon, we review Celine Sciamma's 2011 drama "Tomboy" for June's Off the Menu selection. And be sure to visit our YouTube channel on Wednesday, June 21 at 10 am PDT for LIVE spoiler chat about "The Flash" and any other summer movies you'd like to discuss. Thanks as always for hanging out with us!
S5 Ep 374Episode 374: Movie News, Asteroid City review
We've packed up the station wagon and we're ready for a road trip to "Asteroid City." Alonso and Christy have very different thoughts on the latest from writer-director Wes Anderson, but we agree that the cast is terrific and the cinematography and production design are sublime. It opens in New York and Los Angeles June 16 before going wider the following week. And in our news segment, we remember Treat Williams and discuss box office, "The French Connection," Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's winery dispute and more. Thanks for listening to the latest episode of Breakfast All Day!
S5 Ep 373Episode 373: Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, Flamin' Hot
We, too, are more than meets the eye here at Breakfast All Day. On our latest episode, we have a review of "Transformers: Rise of the Beasts," which we were surprised to find we kinda liked. It isn't quite as good as 2018's "Bumblebee," but it's better than the Michael Bay movies. We also sink our teeth into "Flamin' Hot," Eva Longoria's Flamin' Hot Cheetos origin story, which is streaming on both Disney+ and Hulu. Grab yourself a bowl of something salty and spicy and join us! And thanks for being here.

We also have a rave for "Past Lives," a delicate and melancholy romance from first-time writer-director Celine Song. They'll probably both end up being among the best films of the year. In news, we discuss Dwayne Johnson, Kim Cattrall, Kenneth Anger, "Oppenheimer" and more. And over at our Patreon, we have recaps of the "Ted Lasso" finale and episodes 7 and 8 on season 3 of "The Great." Thanks for starting your summer with us!

S5 Ep 363Episode 363: Movie News, Love Again review
"Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3" is the big movie of the week, but some smaller movies dared to share space in the multiplex this weekend. So we reviewed "Love Again," a romantic comedy/drama that hinges on a fatal car accident, some accidental texts and the music of Celine Dion. It's weird, but not nearly as weird as it could have been! In news, we discuss the Writers Guild strike, Carrie Fisher, Jamie Foxx, the "Beau Is Afraid" pajamas and more. And over at our Patreon, we recap this week's episode of "Ted Lasso," which we're unusually split on.

S5 Ep 362Episode 362: Beau Is Afraid LIVE Spoiler Discussion
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!
