S5 Ep 350Episode 350: Movie News, A Good Person review

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.

S5 Ep 349Episode 349: Movie News, Moving On review

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!

S5 Ep 344Episode 344: Movie News, Creed III

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!

S5 Ep 343Episode 343: Movie News, Jesus Revolution, Fire of Love

"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!

S5 Ep 342Episode 342: Movie News, Cocaine Bear, We Have a Ghost

"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."

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.

S5 Ep 340Episode 340: Movie News, Sharper, Of an Age

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 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.

Feb 15, 202328 min

S5 Ep 338Episode 338: Movie News, Magic Mike's Last Dance, Your Place or Mine

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!

Feb 8, 202339 min

S5 Ep 336Episode 336: Movie News, Knock at the Cabin, 80 for Brady

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'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."

Feb 1, 202323 min

S5 Ep 334Episode 334: Infinity Pool, Shotgun Wedding

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!

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.

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.

S4 Ep 328Episode 328: Ask Us Anything!, I Wanna Dance With Somebody

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.

S4 Ep 322Episode 322: Movie News, Violent Night, The Inspection

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.

We're frolicking in suburbia with Harry and Miss Flo this week on Breakfast All Day. Christy and Alonso review the much-anticipated "Don't Worry Darling," and feel baffled by this beautiful but ultimately ridiculous sci-fi thriller. (We'll do a spoiler discussion down the road. We have lots of questions.) But we were both pleasantly surprised by "Confess, Fletch," with Jon Hamm stepping into one of Chevy Chase's iconic roles. It's in theaters and streaming on Paramount+.

S4 Ep 302Episode 302: Movie News, The Woman King, Goodnight Mommy (2022), Barbarian Spoilers

So many new fall movies came out this past weekend, we had to scatter them across several days to get to them all. On our latest episode of Breakfast All Day, we review the exceptionally kick-ass "The Woman King," the needless remake of the Austrian thriller "Goodnight Mommy" (which Alonso liked better than Christy did), and we go deep into spoilers on "Barbarian" now that the horror movie has been our for a little while. But it's best to see it knowing nothing, so you've been warned! In news, we discuss the "Constantine" sequel, the excellent indie drama "God's Country," Ezra Miller, Woody Allen and more.

Fall movie season begins in earnest this week, and we have a Breakfast All Day review of two much-anticipated titles featuring deeply committed performances from their female stars.

In news, Christy and Alonso discuss "Rogue Squadron," "Squid Game," "The Little Mermaid," "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" and more.
