Breakfast All Day movie reviews

It's Gnarly Tuesday here at Breakfast All Day. We're catching up with a couple of super gory (but very well-made!) action/horror movies in theaters now. And if you can see them in a theater, you really should, because they're both such fun crowd experiences. With Alonso finishing his latest book, we've got a couple of great friends to share their insights. Horror expert William Bibbiani joins in for "Evil Dead Rise," the fifth film in the franchise, and Dave White helps out with "Sisu," a Finnish action flick that's like "John Wick," but with Nazis. (Yes, it's as fun as that sounds.) Make sure to join us Wednesday, May 3 at Noon PDT for a "Beau Is Afraid" LIVE spoiler chat. Our good friend Tim Grierson, who liked the film more than we did, will be taking part, as well. It'll be here on our Breakfast All day YouTube channel. Bring your questions and the images that have been haunting you!

We've got a super early review of "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3" on Breakfast All Day. And it's spoiler-free, because the movie doesn't even come out until May 5. But we wanted to chat about the latest in the MCU -- writer-director James Gunn's final film for Marvel before he heads to DC Studios -- as soon as we could. Stay tuned for details on a live spoiler chat coming soon. Also, Katie Walsh helps out with a review of "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret.," based on the beloved Judy Blume coming-of-age novel. We both loved it and can't recommend it highly enough. In news, we discuss all the announcements out of CinemaCon, plus the death of Jerry Springer. And over on our Patreon, we recap this week's lovely episode of "Ted Lasso." Thanks for joining us. And be sure to mark your calendar for our LIVE "Beau Is Afraid" spoiler chat on our YouTube channel, scheduled for Noon PDT on Wednesday May 3. Look forward to seeing you there!

It's Documentary Tuesday here at Breakfast All Day, with reviews two movies about towering pioneers in their fields. First, Alonso's husband, Dave White, returns to talk about "Judy Blume Forever," a celebration of the essential Young Adult author who's still as spiky and sweet as she was in the '70s. Alonso and Christy also review "Little Richard: I Am Everything," about the architect of rock 'n' roll who hasn't nearly gotten his due for the massive influence he's had on generations of performers. In news, we honor the legendary singer and activist Harry Belafonte, who died recently at age 96, plus we discuss Tucker Carlson, Richard Lewis, "Heartstopper" season 2, Dame Edna and more. Come back Friday for an early review of "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3." 'Til then, have a great week, and thanks for sharing some of your time with us.

Ana de Armas and Chris Evans are impossibly beautiful individually but have zero chemistry with each other in the spy comedy "Ghosted." It's streaming now on Apple TV+, and we have a review on the latest Breakfast All Day. Then, our great friend Tim Grierson (Screen International, @TimGrierson) helps out with a review of "Chevalier," starring Kelvin Harrison Jr. as virtuoso violinist and champion fencer Joseph Bologne, the Chevalier de Saint-Georges. In news, we discuss Alec Baldwin, Victoria Alonso, the new "Fast X" trailer, the end of Netflix red envelopes and Twitter blue checks, and more. And on our Patreon, we recap "The Mandalorian" season finale and the latest episode of "Ted Lasso." Both were great! Thanks for hanging out with us.

We love doing these Ask Us Anything segments and it was even more fun answering your questions LIVE on our Breakfast All Day YouTube channel. Here's the audio of our latest conversation, which covers everything from falling asleep in the theater to first crushes to favorite horror movies. We'll be sure to do more of these, and we hope you can join us!

Just a couple of quick goodies for you on this midweek Breakfast All Day episode. Alonso and Christy review "Suzume," the latest animated film from the great Japanese writer-director Makoto Shinkai ("Your Name.," "Weathering With You"). In news, we discuss the Writers Guild of America voting nearly unanimously to strike, the debacle of the live "Love Is Blind" reunion on Netflix, Jonathan Majors, the "World of Barbie" experience, Vidiots and more. Over at our Patreon, we revisit David Lynch's 1986 noir thriller "Blue Velvet" for our April Off the Menu. And be sure to join us Wednesday, April 19 at Noon PDT on our YouTube channel for a LIVE Ask Us Anything segment. Hope to see you!

Sink your teeth into the latest episode of Breakfast All Day. Alonso and Christy review "Renfield," the wildly violent action comedy featuring Nicolas Cage in the role he was born to play: Count Dracula. Alonso's husband, Dave White, steps in to help with a review of the powerful indie drama "A Thousand and One," which we both loved. In news, we discuss the Cannes Film Festival lineup, HBO Max dropping the HBO, Drake Bell, Ryan Reynolds' birthday song for Rob McElhenney, and more. And over at our Patreon, we recap this week's episodes of "The Mandalorian" and "Ted Lasso." Thanks for listening! Be sure to join us next week for a LIVE edition of Ask Us Anything! We'll be at our YouTube channel at Noon PDT on Wednesday, April 19 and we'd love to see you: https://www.youtube.com/live/sZLnsmwkRBg?feature=share

"Beau Is Afraid" is one of the most anticipated movies of the year, and we're thrilled to bring you an early Breakfast All Day review. No spoilers here as we discuss the three-hour nightmare odyssey from writer-director Ari Aster, but we'll do a more in-depth discussion after the film opens nationwide on April 21. We also catch-up with "Tetris" on Apple TV+, and Christy revisits "Everything Everywhere All at Once" one year and seven Oscars later to see if she feels differently about it. And in news, we discuss all the big Star Wars Celebration announcements, trailers for "The Mother," "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny" and "The Marvels," and more. Thanks as always for sharing some of your time with us.

We've got high and low cinema for you on the latest episode of Breakfast All Day. First, we review "The Super Mario Bros. Movie," which is not good, but being a fan of the game probably helps. Then, we discuss the latest from indie film icon Kelly Reichardt, "Showing Up," which marks her fourth collaboration with Michelle Williams. And over at our Patreon, we recap the latest episodes of "The Mandalorian" and "Ted Lasso." No news this time -- we had a weird recording schedule in order to see "Beau Is Afraid," but the good news about that is we'll have a review of Ari Aster's three-hour hellscape exploration on Tuesday. So come on back then!

So much news to catch up on from spring break on the latest Breakfast All Day. A bunch of new trailers came out today, including "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" and "Barbie." We also discuss Gwyneth Paltrow, A.O. Scott, the 10-year anniversary of Roger Ebert's death and more. Plus we have reviews of Ben Affleck's "Air," which is great, and Owen Wilson's "Paint," which is not. And over at our Patreon, we catch up with Chapter 21 of "The Mandalorian." What is even going on with this show? Thanks as always for hanging out with us.

It's spring break, so Christy's off skiing with her family, but that doesn't mean we're taking a vacation from offering you goodies here at Breakfast All Day. She and Alonso review the action comedy "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves," which is surprisingly fun (and you don't need to play D&D to enjoy it). Also: heavy spoilers for "John Wick: Chapter 4." You've been warned! And for our latest round of Was It Great or Were You 8, Alonso has chosen the 1975 Inspector Clouseau comedy "The Return of the Pink Panther" to determine whether it truly was great, or he just loves it nostalgically. We'll return Tuesday to catch up on news and review "Air." Hope to see you then!

We're nearing the end of this seemingly endless month and we're happy to be doing it with you on Breakfast All Day. It's sort of a quiet week with "John Wick: Chapter 4" expected to dominate -- we reviewed it last week and will have a spoiler discussion for you in the coming days. But we also have a review of writer-director Zach Braff's "A Good Person," a maudlin drama about loss and redemption featuring a typically powerful Florence Pugh performance. In news, we discuss the Gwyneth Paltrow ski crash trial; the video for "Big Shark," Tommy Wiseau's insane follow-up to "The Room"; and the terrible idea of remaking "Vertigo" with Robert Downey Jr. And on our Patreon, we recap this week's episodes of "The Mandalorian" and "Ted Lasso." Thanks as always for spending some of your time with us.

We begin our latest episode of Breakfast All Day with some sad news: the death of Lance Reddick. The star of the "John Wick" franchise and "The Wire" was just 60 years old. We also discuss the dismal "Shazam! Fury of the Gods" box office, the trailer for "Joy Ride," Eva Longoria's "Flamin' Hot" movie, the cast of "Ted Lasso" at the White House and more. For reviews, we have "Moving On," a dark buddy comedy that reunites longtime friends and collaborators Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda. And over at our Patreon, we were delighted to revisit John Carney's debut feature "Once" (2007) for our March Off the Menu movie. We're singing your praises and grateful to have you here, as always.

The Baba Yaga AND Shazam are back, and we're here for all the excitement on Breakfast All Day. Christy and Alonso have an early review of "John Wick: Chapter 4," which opens March 24. No spoilers here, we promise, but we'll dig into the latest Keanu Reeves action spectacular after folks have had a chance to see it. We also have a spoiler-free review of the DC Universe sequel "Shazam! Fury of the Gods," which we liked better than a lot of critics. In news, we discuss "The Banshees of Inisherin" 8-bit game, the return of "Ted Lasso," A24's restoration of "Stop Making Sense," Demi Lovato's documentary, the death of R&B singer Bobby Caldwell (whose 1978 hit "What You Won't Do For Love" is our opening music) and more. (We learned about Lance Reddick's death after we finished recording; we'll honor his life and career next week.) And for our Patreon subscribers, recaps of the "Ted Lasso" season 3 premiere and the latest on "The Mandalorian." Thanks for joining us!

"Everything Everywhere All at Once" had a huge night at the 2023 Academy Awards, winning seven including best picture and director. And Christy and Alonso had such a great morning talking everything Oscars during our YouTube live chat that we wanted to share the audio here, as well. We had viewers join us from across the United States and as far away as India, Nigeria, Poland, Spain and the Philippines. Thank you! It was so cool hearing a variety of perspectives on the winners, Jimmy Kimmel's hosting, musical performances, fashion and more. Thanks to everyone for spending time with us throughout awards season. Let's do it again next year!

It's Oscar weekend and we're making our final picks on Breakfast All Day. What do you hope to see happen? Tune into the Academy Awards Sunday night, then join us for a LIVE chat the next morning at 9am PDT on our YouTube channel. We also review the big movie of the week, the horror sequel "Scream VI." And Nick and Joseph from Fish Jelly Film Reviews were kind enough to join Christy for a discussion of Adam Driver's sci-fi bomb "65." As for our TV recaps on our Patreon, we wrap up the first season of "Poker Face" on Peacock, and we dig into the latest episode of "The Mandalorian" on Disney+. Thanks for joining us!

We had such a great live conversation over at our Breakfast All Day YouTube channel that we wanted to share it here as a podcast episode, as well. Grab your Oscar ballots and play along with us. Alonso and Christy go though every category and pick who we think will win at Sunday night's Academy Awards. Let us know how you do in your pools if you take part in that sort of thing. And be sure to join us the Monday morning afterward for another live discussion of what went down. More details coming soon. Enjoy Hollywood's biggest night!

Things are looking up so far in March: We've got a positive review and some upbeat news here at Breakfast All Day. Christy and Alonso discuss Michael B. Jordan's dazzling directorial debut, "Creed III," in which he impresses on both sides of the camera. (Christy is higher on it than Alonso, but both enjoyed it.) In news, we discuss the release of De La Soul's music on streaming services for the first time, Chris Pine and Harry Styles, a stage production of "Stranger Things," and a petition to keep AMC Theatres from cutting down the Nicole Kidman promo. Over at our Patreon, we recap the first episode of "The Mandalorian" season 3 as well as the latest on "Poker Face," which may be the best one yet. And make sure to stop by our YouTube channel at Noon PST Tuesday when we'll be doing LIVE Oscar predictions. Print out your ballot here and join us!

"Jesus Revolution" had such a huge opening weekend, we had to review it here on Breakfast All Day. Christy and Alonso were pleasantly surprised by the faith-based drama about the Christian hippie movement in Southern California in the 1970s. We also finally catch up with the spectacular Oscar-nominated documentary "Fire of Love," which was on Christy's top 10 list for 2022. In news, there's so much stupid stuff going on between Woody Harrelson, Mark Wahlberg and Lady Gaga -- but also Screen Actors Guild and Producers Guild awards, as we inch ever closer to Oscar night. And over at our Patreon, we recap episode 7 of "The Last of Us." Joel's not dead! Ellie goes to the mall! Speaking of the Academy Awards, mark your calendars for Noon PST Tuesday, March 7, when we'll do a LIVE chat picking winners in every category. Here's a link to our YouTube Channel. You'll also find a link to a printable ballot there. Look forward to seeing you!

"Cocaine Bear" is finally here, and we're here for every insane moment of it on Breakfast All Day. Christy and Alonso review the much-anticipated comic thriller -- which, amazingly, is based on a true story -- and insist that if you're going to see it, you should do so with an audience. We also review "We Have a Ghost" on Netflix, a cheesy haunted house story that wastes a great cast. In news, we discuss the Oscars and SAG Awards, "Succession," Steven Yeun and more. And we've got a couple of goodies on our Patreon: a recap of "Poker Face" episode 8, which may be the best one yet, and a February Off the Menu review of the 2006 romantic comedy "Something New." And if you haven't joined our Patreon yet, now's a great time -- we're doing our first Lunch Date live chat with our subscribers on Monday, Feb. 27 at Noon PST. You can find out more here. We'd love to see you!

It's Mardi Gras! But it's always a party around here at Breakfast All Day. Christy and Alonso catch up with Bill Nighy's subtle yet deeply moving performance in "Living," which earned him a long-overdue Oscar nomination for best actor. It's in theaters now. In news, we discuss the Directors Guild and BAFTA awards, box office for "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania," Tom Sizemore, Richard Belzer and more. And over at our Patreon, we recap this week's episode of "The Last of Us" on HBO, which is another emotional doozy. Also: Mark your calendars for Tuesday, March 7 at Noon PST, when we'll do a live Oscar predictions chat on our YouTube channel. Bring your ballots and win your pools! (We'll do our best to help, at least.) Thank you so much for joining us, as always.

We begin with some exciting news on the latest Breakfast All Day: We hit 5 million views on our YouTube channel! But we also remember the legendary sex symbol Raquel Welch, who died this week at 82. The big movie of the week is "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania," which we reviewed on our previous episode. It's getting pretty negative reviews at 47% on Rotten Tomatoes, but we didn't think it was terrible. As for other new movies, we discuss the twisty thriller "Sharper," which is streaming on Apple TV+, and "Of an Age," a queer romance from Australia. And over at our Patreon, we recap episode 7 of "Poker Face" on Peacock. Thanks for sharing your time with us week after week, we deeply appreciate it.

We're delighted to have you spend part of your Valentine's Day with us here at Breakfast All Day. Christy and Alonso have an early review of the latest Marvel movie, "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania," which is in theaters this weekend. We also catch up with the Netflix comedy "You People," which we're extremely split on. In news, we discuss all those Super Bowl commercials from over the weekend as well as Rihanna's halftime performance, plus we look ahead to season 3 of "Ted Lasso" on Apple TV+ and the "Bridgerton" prequel "Queen Charlotte" on Netflix. We'll be sure to do recaps on our Patreon once they begin. And speaking of our Patreon, we recap episode 5 of "The Last of Us," which was a journey! Thanks for letting us share some time (and chocolate) with you.

The pickings are slim on Super Bowl Weekend, but we're here to steer you in the right direction on Breakfast All Day if you're looking for a different kind of entertainment. Christy and Alonso review "Magic Mike's Last Dance," which finds Channing Tatum taking the stage one final time at Salma Hayek Pinault's request. We differ on the movie but agree that the dance numbers are spectacular. We also review the extremely bland rom-com "Your Place or Mine," starring Reese Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher, on Netflix. In news, we have a lengthy discussion about songwriting legend Burt Bacharach, who died this week at 94, but somehow forgot to mention that he wrote the theme to the 1958 horror movie "The Blob," this week's opening song. Plus: trailers for "Fast X," "Strays" and "Air." And for our Patreon subscribers, a recap of the latest episode of "Poker Face." Thanks for joining us!

It's Single Mom Day here at Breakfast All Day as we catch up with "To Leslie," the indie drama that earned a surprise Oscar nomination for its ferocious star, Andrea Riseborough. Christy and Alonso also review "Jeanne Dielman," the 1975 film that topped the prestigious, once-a-decade Sight and Sound poll. In news, we discuss "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania," box office, AMC's new seating price plan, the Grammys, Armie Hammer and more. And over at our Patreon, we recap episode 4 of "The Last of Us" on HBO. Thanks as always for joining us and we'll see you again on Friday!

January is supposed to be a dumping ground for movies, but so far, February looks even worse. Still, we've got you covered here at Breakfast All Day. Christy and Alonso review "Knock at the Cabin," the latest from M. Night Shyamalan, which has an intriguing premise and some inspired camerawork but turns clunky and muddled. We also review "80 for Brady," an infomercial about Tom Brady which is a cringey waste of its formidable stars: Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, Rita Moreno and Sally Field. In news, we discuss Jafar Panahi's release from prison, "Skinamarink" on Shudder, Andrea Riseborough's Oscar nomination, a "Gladiator" sequel and Paul Thomas Anderson showing "Boogie Nights" in 70mm. And over at our Patreon, we recap episode 5 of "Poker Face," which takes a darker, sadder turn. And speaking of our Patreon, we've added a new level we're excited to tell you about. We call it: "Lunch Date." For $10 a month, you'll get all the goodies you get at the $5 level, plus you'll have exclusive access to monthly live chats where we can meet and talk about movies, TV shows, awards season, whatever!

We're back in the trenches here at Breakfast All Day. Alonso and Christy catch up with "All Quiet on the Western Front," now that it's been nominated for nine Academy Awards including best picture, international film and cinematography. The stunning historical epic is streaming on Netflix. We're also back with news, including the campaign behind Andrea Riseborough's Oscar nomination for "To Leslie," the huge success of "The Last of Us" on HBO, more announcements from DC Studios, "Attack the Block 2," and the deaths of Television frontman Tom Verlaine and "Laverne & Shirley" star Cindy Williams. And over at our Patreon, we recap that deeply emotional third episode of "The Last of Us." We just passed our goal of 20,000 subscribers on our YouTube Channel, so if you're hanging out with us there, as well, we're grateful. Thanks for sharing some of your time with us!

We review two extremely different movies set in places that only look like paradise on the latest Breakfast All Day. First, Christy and Alonso are split on Brandon Cronenberg's graphic and disturbing "Infinity Pool," starring Mia Goth and Alexander Skarsgard. So many bodily fluids! Then, Nick Bell from the Fish Jelly Film Reviews YouTube channel joins Christy to discuss "Shotgun Wedding," a lifeless Jennifer Lopez rom-com that's streaming on Prime Video. And over at our Patreon, we recap the first four episodes of the Rian Johnson-Natasha Lyonne mystery series "Poker Face" on Peacock, which we're loving. Thanks for joining us!

It's a bit of a low-key week here at Breakfast All Day as we await Oscar nominations. Be sure to join us at our YouTube channel at Noon PST on Tuesday, Jan. 24 for a live discussion of the nominees. For now, we have reviews of a couple new releases: the thriller "Missing," a sorta-sequel to the 2018 hit "Searching," and the indie drama "When You Finish Saving the World," which finds Jesse Eisenberg making his writing-directing debut. In news, we discuss David Crosby, Alec Baldwin, Timothee Chalamet, the Sundance Film Festival and more.

A quick midweek drop-in to delight and frighten you here at Breakfast All Day. Our good friend William Bibbiani joins Christy for a review of the buzzy, low-budget horror movie "Skinamarink," which is extremely slow and definitely not for everyone, but it's effectively creepy. In news, we actually have some good things to tell you about, including Jeremy Renner recovering from his snowplow accident, the premiere of "The Last of Us" on HBO, the LA Film Critics awards dinner, and Madonna announcing a world tour. And speaking of "The Last of Us," Alonso and Christy recap episode 1 over at our Patreon, and we'll be doing it all season long, so we'd love to have you join us.

Buckle up for the latest episode of Breakfast All Day. Christy and Alonso review the cheesy Gerard Butler action movie "Plane," which we enjoyed way more than we expected. We also review "No Bears," the latest from Iranian master Jafar Panahi, which is one of Alonso's favorite films of 2022.

We're catching up with a couple of movies here at Breakfast All Day during these low-key, early weeks of January. Our good friend William Bibbiani joins in for a review of the animated sequel "Puss in Boots: The Last Wish," and we scour the snowy woods for clues in "The Pale Blue Eye" on Netflix. In news, we discuss a couple of big trailers: "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania" and "Beau Is Afraid," plus "M3GAN" box office, Golden Globes and the death of former child star Adam Rich. And over at our Patreon, we recap episodes 3 and 4 of "George & Tammy" on Showtime. Thanks for joining us!

Happy New Year! We've missed you and we're happy to be back here at Breakfast All Day. But before we look ahead to the upcoming year, we share our picks for the best and worst movies of 2022. January starts off on a surprising high note with the delightfully nutty "M3GAN," and our good friend William Bibbiani was kind enough to join in and share his thoughts on this creepy doll horror comedy. And we've got a few items of movie news to share, including Jeremy Renner's snowplow accident, box office for "Avatar: The Way of Water," Lisa Rinna leaving "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" and Noah Schnapp coming out on TikTok. We're glad you're here for all of it!

It's our last episode of 2022! So we're wrapping things up with a round of Ask Us Anything. Among the questions Alonso and Christy answer: what's the hardest part of being a film critic, what would we put on a Sight & Sound ballot, and what's a great so-bad-it's-good Christmas movie? Also, the brilliant Katie Walsh returns to help Christy review "I Wanna Dance With Somebody." We have very different opinions on the Whitney Houston biopic.

It's a total coincidence but we happen to be reviewing "The Whale" and "Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio" on the latest episode of Breakfast All Day.

It's December, so we're officially in Christmas movie season on Breakfast All Day. But we have very different opinions of "Violent Night," an action flick starring David Harbour as a butt-kicking Santa Claus. We are in agreement, though, about "The Inspection," a sensitive and compelling indie drama about a queer, black man who joins the Marines. In news, we discuss the New York Film Critics Circle's year-end picks, the once-a decade Sight & Sound poll where "Jeanne Dielman" was named the best film ever, a bunch of trailers including the hilarious "Cocaine Bear," and the death of Fleetwood Mac's legendary singer/songwriter/keyboardist Christine McVie.

Christy and Alonso review "Bones and All," starring Timothee Chalamet and Taylor Russell as young cannibals in love. We also discuss "She Said," about the New York Times reporters who broke the Harvey Weinstein sexual harassment story. In news, we talk about the Taylor Swift tour overwhelming Ticketmaster, more Twitter destruction, Brendan Fraser, the "80 for Brady" trailer and more. And over at our Patreon, we're getting closer to the end of "Andor" with the thrilling penultimate episode. Enjoy, and thanks for sharing some of your holiday time with us.

Just a quick, midweek nibble from us at Breakfast All Day as we review "The Menu," the dark comedy starring Anya Taylor-Joy, Ralph Fiennes and Nicholas Hoult. It's one of many skewer-the-rich satires out there these days. We also have some news headlines, including the huge box office opening for "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever," Dave Chappelle's "Saturday Night Live" monologue, Daniel Craig's infectious Belvedere vodka ad and more. We'll be back Friday with reviews of "She Said" and "Bones and All," so be sure to join us!

It may seem like a random week between "The Fabelmans," "Spirited" and "Falling for Christmas," but we contain multitudes here at Breakfast All Day. Plus movie news of course, which includes Kevin Conroy, Andy Taylor, Chris Evans, Jimmy Kimmel and Aaron Carter. Over at our Patreon, we recap a couple of incredible episodes of television: the season finale of "The Handmaid's Tale" and this week's prison break on "Andor." And don't forget to join us Saturday afternoon for out live spoiler discussion of "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" at our YouTube channel. You can find us here.

We've got a bite-sized but meaty morsel of Breakfast All Day for you midweek with our early review of "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever." Alonso and Christy have a spoiler-free discussion of the much-anticipated sequel to "Black Panther," but join us Saturday Nov. 12 at 4 pm PST at our YouTube channel where we'll go live (for the first time!) with an in-depth spoiler chat. You can find us here. We also review the "Weird: The Al Yankovic Story," a hilarious parody of the music biopic about the king of parody songs. It's streaming on The Roku Channel. Come back Friday for reviews of "The Fabelmans," "Spirited" and "Falling for Christmas." And thanks as always for sharing your time with us.

It's the calm before the storm on the latest Breakfast All Day, as we review a couple of indies ahead of some huge releases in the weeks to come. Alonso and Christy discuss the drama "My Policeman," which finds Harry Styles in a forbidden love triangle. It's streaming now on Prime Video. We also review "Causeway," which finds Jennifer Lawrence returning to the kind of raw, unadorned performance she made her name on originally. It's streaming now on Apple TV+. In news, we discuss the myriad ways Elon Musk is ruining Twitter, plus the new "Avatar: The Way of Water" trailer, Kit Connor, Aubrey Plaza, the documentary "God Forbid" and more. And over at our Patreon, the latest on "Andor" and "The Handmaid's Tale." Cozy up on this fall day and join us!

Millie Bobby Brown is a total delight as she returns to the role of Sherlock Holmes' plucky younger sister in "Enola Holmes 2." The action comedy starts streaming Friday on Netflix, but we have an early review for you here at Breakfast All Day. Alonso and Christy also catch up with the latest from writer-director James Gray, the semi-autobiographical drama "Armageddon Time," which includes strong performances from Anne Hathaway, Jeremy Strong, Anthony Hopkins and young Banks Repeta. It's in limited release now but is expanding wider. We're shocked that it's already November, so stick with us for this big month of movies! And mark your calendar for Nov. 12, when we'll do a livestream discussion of "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" on our YouTube channel. Join us, and if you haven't already, we'd love it if you'd subscribe.

It's sort of a low-key week around here as we wait for Black Panther to return on Breakfast All Day. Christy and Alonso review "Call Jane," about the underground group that helped women secure safe abortions in 1968 Chicago, starring a terrific Elizabeth Banks and Sigourney Weaver. We also catch up with the toxic romance "Stars at Noon," the latest from master French filmmaker Claire Denis, which is now streaming on Hulu. In news, we discuss Elon Musk buying Twitter, the "Wakanda Forever" premiere (and keep an eye out for our YouTube livestream discussion on Nov. 12), the weird Matthew Perry-Keanu Reeves beef, James Gunn taking over DC Studios and more. And over at our Patreon, recaps of this week's excellent episodes of "Andor" and "The Handmaid's Tale." Thanks as always for hanging out, and save some Halloween candy for us.

Join us for a colorful romp through the underworld on Breakfast All Day. Alonso and Christy discuss "Wendell & Wild," the wonderfully weird stop-motion animation fantasy from director Henry Selick and co-writer Jordan Peele. It's streaming on Netflix starting Friday but we have an early review. We also have a ton of news to catch up on from the past week, including all the Kanye West anti-Semitism fallout, Gotham Award nominations, Henry Cavill returning to play Superman, the "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania" trailer and the death of Leslie Jordan. Thanks as always for joining us.
