Breakfast All Day movie reviews

We will avenge you this week on Breakfast All Day with a review of one of the most anticipated films in a while. Christy and Alonso rave about "The Northman," the latest trippy saga from director and co-writer Robert Eggers. We also review "Petite Maman," Celine Sciamma'a deeply moving French gem, which was one of our favorite movies of 2021 and is finally in theaters. In news, we discuss CNN+, Jerry West, Johnny Depp (again), Ezra Miller (again), George Michael and "Grease 2." And over at our Patreon, we recap episode 4 of "Moon Knight," which was finally good!

We've got breaking news and catch-up reviews for you on our midweek edition of Breakfast All Day.

And who was the best dressed? Let us know what you thought of those bizarre 2022 Academy Awards, and thanks for spending time with us throughout awards season.

Let us help you make your Oscar picks!

If you'd like to see the videos we posted this week on our Breakfast All Day YouTube Channel, they're all right here. But you can always enjoy us in podcast form, as well.

And we have a mixed review of the Sandra Bullock-Channing Tatum comedy "The Lost City." If you're looking for our review of "Everything Everywhere All at Once," Christy and Katie Walsh did one earlier this week.

We've got a quick but jam-packed midweek episode of Breakfast All Day. In news, Christy and Alonso discuss big wins for "CODA" at the Producers Guild and Writers Guild awards, Rachel Zegler, Amanda Bynes, "Jackass Forever," "The Godfather" trilogy and more. Then our great friend Katie Walsh joins Christy for an early review of "Everything Everywhere All at Once," which is as overwhelming as the title would suggest but also an excellent showcase for the many talents of Michelle Yeoh. Stay tuned later this week for our Oscar picks! And thanks for hanging out with us.

The erotic thriller is back and we are here for it on Breakfast All Day. Christy and Alonso review the hotly awaited "Deep Water," now streaming on Hulu, starring Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas.

You guys asked for more spoilers so we've got a double serving of them for you on Breakfast All Day.

In news, we talk Jane Campion and Venus and Serena Williams, William Hurt, SXSW, trailers for "Ms. Marvel" and Michael Mann's "Tokyo Vice," plus Pete Davidson in space. And we have a flashback review of a movie Alonso loves (and Christy had never heard of), the queer indie comedy "I've Heard the Mermaids Singing," which is now in theaters with a 4K restoration. Glad you've joined us for a mid-week drop-in!

We are bursting with panda excitement — and angst, and boy-band lust — this week on Breakfast All Day. Christy and Alonso review the latest from Pixar Animation, "Turning Red," which we both really enjoyed. We also review the Netflix sci-fi comedy "The Adam Project," which … we both really didn't enjoy. In news, we talk DGA Awards, BAFTAs, Jussie Smollett, Ryan Coogler, trailers for the "Obi-Wan Kenobi" series on Disney+ and "Bridgerton" season 2 on Netflix and more. And we've got lots of goodies at our Patreon: recaps of the "Pam & Tommy" finale, plus new episodes of "The Gilded Age" and "The Dropout." Pack a picnic and join us!

Watching "Pam & Tommy" for our Breakfast All Day Patreon made us realize we'd never seen "Barb Wire," the 1996 sci-fi action flick that was supposed to make Pamela Anderson a mega movie star. That didn't happen, but we wanted to catch up with it anyway, so Alonso and Christy have a review for you. We also review the stylish horror film "Fresh" on Hulu. And for our midweek news drop-in, we talk "The Batman" box office, Spirit Awards, the Oscar nominees luncheon, Disney's stance on Florida's "Don't Say Gay" legislation and the trailer for the erotic thriller "Deep Water," which we'll definitely review when it comes out in a couple weeks. Thanks for joining us!

"The Batman" is finally here, and we've got a rave review on Breakfast All Day. Christy and Katie Walsh have a spoiler-free discussion of Robert Pattinson's portrayal of the Caped Crusader.

We are shiny and chrome this week on Breakfast All Day for so many reasons. First, Christy and Alonso have a Tuesday news drop, including early reviews of "The Batman," Screen Actors Guild award winners, Sam Elliott trashing "The Power of the Dog," #OscarsFanFavorite and more. With "The Batman" opening this week, we ponder that age-old question: Who's the best Batman? And our good friend Kyle Buchanan of The New York Times joins us to discuss his new book, "Blood, Sweat & Chrome: The Wild and True Story of Mad Max: Fury Road." It's a juicy, breezy oral history of this famously difficult shoot, which resulted in a cinematic masterpiece. Crank up the volume and ride to Valhalla with us!

The delightful Dave White (The Wrap, Linoleum Knife) fills in for his husband, Alonso, this week on Breakfast All Day. And while we've thrown a truly random cross-section of movies his way, the longtime critic is naturally able to speak about them all insightfully. We review the musical "Cyrano" starring Peter Dinklage, "Tyler Perry's A Madea Homecoming" because Dave is a Madea aficionado, and the Foo Fighters' horror comedy "Studio 666." In news, we talk Oscars, SAG Awards, that legendary Spider-Man meme, AnnaLynne McCord's Putin poem, the late Sally Kellerman and more. And over at our Patreon, Alonso and Christy recap this week's episodes of "Pam & Tommy" on Hulu and "The Gilded Age" on HBO. Join Christy and the husbands for all this podcast goodness!

It's 2s-day — that is, 2/22/22 on a Tuesday — so we had to do a midweek drop-in on Breakfast All Day. Christy and Alonso have news updates, including "Uncharted" box office, "The Godfather" re-release for its 50th anniversary, James Gunn and Jennifer Holland getting engaged, our friend Kyle Buchanan's exciting new "Mad Max: Fury Road" book and more. With "The Batman" coming out next week, we take a closer look at Robert Pattinson's best performances, and the way he's used his "Twilight" clout to work with daring auteurs like David Cronenberg and Claire Denis. And we do a spoilery breakdown of that brilliant but subtle twist at the end of "The Power of the Dog," which has understandably caused some confusion. Let us know what you think of all of this, and thanks for joining us!

Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg are hunting for hidden treasure, and we're right on their tails this week on Breakfast All Day. The brilliant Katie Walsh returns to help Christy review "Uncharted," the long-awaited film version of the popular video game series. Alonso and Christy also review "Dog," a buddy road trip comedy starring Channing Tatum and … a dog. In news, we discuss plans for "Stranger Things" seasons 4 and 5, "Peacemaker" season 2, Francis Ford Coppola's GQ magazine article, an update in the fatal Halyna Hutchins shooting, Oscar vaccine plans, and Aaron Rodgers and Shailene Woodley calling it quits. And we've got a ton of great stuff for you over at our Patreon: a recap of the "Peacemaker" season finale and new episodes of "Pam & Tommy" and "The Gilded Age," plus a February Off the Menu review of Sidney Poitier's "A Warm December." Thanks so much for hanging out with us, and enjoy the weekend.

Time is a flat circle, which means you get a Breakfast All Day episode on a Tuesday. We're trying some new things lately, including mixing in mid-week news, reviews and DVD recommendations. Christy and Alonso catch up with Steven Soderbergh's high-tech thriller "Kimi," which is streaming on HBO Max, and we have some DVD recommendations for you including "Eternals" and a 4K of "Looper." And in news, we discuss the Oscars announcing they'll recognize a "most-popular" movie viewers can vote on, Super Bowl ads, Bob Saget conspiracy theories, the death of Ivan Reitman at 75 and more.

It's Valentine's Day Weekend AND Super Bowl Weekend, and we've got something for whatever you're into on Breakfast All Day. Katie Walsh is back to join Christy for a review of Kenneth Branagh's star-studded (and troubled) version of "Death on the Nile." And Alonso and Christy review a couple of rom-coms: Jennifer Lopez and Owen Wilson in "Marry Me" and Jenny Slate and Charlie Day in "I Want You Back." In news, we talk Oscar and Razzie nominations, the Super Bowl, the "Jurassic World: Dominion" trailer, the future of "Futurama" and #Bendergate, Steven Soderbergh, Brene Brown, Leslie Jones and more. And over at our Patreon, we have a ridiculous amount of TV to recap: "The Book of Boba Fett" finale, plus new episodes of "Peacemaker," "Pam & Tommy" and "The Gilded Age." Buy yourself some chocolate whether you're in love or not, and thanks for hanging out with us.

It's Hollywood's biggest morning — the 2022 Oscar nominations — so we had to post a special Tuesday episode to cover all the highs, lows, surprises and disappointments. Our great friend, Los Angeles Times awards expert Glenn Whipp, joins us to share his perspective. "The Power of the Dog" leads all nominees with 12, followed by "Dune" with 10. What were you happy to see get nominated? What do you hope will win? Let us know. (Also, quick correction, "Licorice Pizza" is NOT streaming yet. Apologies.) Christy and Alonso also have a timely segment on new DVD releases, including three films that got multiple nominations today: "Belfast," "King Richard" and "Encanto." We don't talk about Bruno, but we do talk about movies, and we're happy to have you join us.

Hi, we're Breakfast All Day, and this is … a new episode of our podcast. This week, our dear friend Katie Walsh joins Christy to review the panoply of pain that is "Jackass Forever." We also talk about the disaster epic "Moonfall," which is extremely stupid, and yet, not stupid enough. In news, Alonso and Christy discuss BAFTA nominations, "Knives Out 2," the Spotify exodus, Spike Lee's documentary series on Colin Kaepernick, Whoopi Goldberg, Rudy Giuliani, Howard Hesseman, and the Wordle guy selling his game to the NY Times for low seven figures. And over at our Patreon, we have a mind-blowing array of recaps: "The Book of Boba Fett," "Peacemaker," "The Gilded Age," and the first three episodes of "Pam & Tommy." Thanks as always for joining us!

Rock and roll can never die here at Breakfast All Day. This week, Christy and Alonso review the understated yet powerful teen drama "The Fallout" on HBO Max, the enigmatic "Sundown" starring Tim Roth and Charlotte Gainsbourg, and we have an early review of Norway's "The Worst Person in the World," one of Alonso's favorite movies of 2021, which comes out Feb. 4. In news: awards season takes shape with nominations from the Directors, Producers and Writers guilds. Plus! So many beefs: Neil Young vs. Spotify, Evangeline Lilly vs. vaccine mandates, Taylor Swift vs. Damon Albarn, Morrissey vs. Johnny Marr, and Peter Dinklage vs. "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves." And lots of great stuff over at our Patreon: recaps of this week's "The Book of Boba Fett" (which was finally good!), episodes 4 and 5 of "Peacemaker," and the debut of "The Gilded Age," the latest sophisticated soap opera from "Downton Abbey" creator Julian Fellowes. Cross the street and gossip with us — we won't tell anyone — and thanks as always for listening.

It's January, and the pickings are slim at the movie theater, but we've found some quality nuggets for you here at Breakfast All Day. This week, Christy and Alonso play catch-up with a few movies we've been meaning to discuss: Marvel's thrilling "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings," which is streaming on Disney+; Asghar Farhadi's gripping drama "A Hero," which has been in theaters and is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video; and the inventive, animated documentary "Flee," which expands to more theaters this weekend. In news, we talk about the deaths of Meat Loaf, Louis Anderson and Andre Leon Talley, as well as the legendary Marty from Marty and Elayne at the Dresden, an extremely L.A. entertainer. Also: Sundance has begun virtually, Joss Whedon talks to New York Magazine, the M&M characters get a makeover, "We Don't Talk About Bruno" from "Encanto" is a huge hit, Adele postpones her Las Vegas residency and Adam Rippon marries his boyfriend.

Enjoy, and thanks as always for joining us.

Do you like scary movies? We've got one for you this week on Breakfast All Day, as Katie Walsh joins Christy to review the new "Scream," the fifth film in the meta horror franchise. Also, Alonso finally watched "Eternals," so we catch up with Chloe Zhao's Marvel entry, and we review the animated "Hotel Transylvania: Transformania," the rare movie that has us extremely divided. In news, we discuss Bob Saget, Ronnie Spector, the Golden Globes, the Screen Actors Guild nominations, season three announcements for both "The Great" and "The Morning Show," Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet divorcing, and O.G. "American Idol" finalist Clay Aiken running for Congress, again. And over at our Patreon, we recap this week's episode of "The Book of Boba Fett" (which we're not really feeling yet) and revisit the delightfully zany "What's Up, Doc?" the Peter Bogdanovich movie our subscribers chose for the latest Off the Menu selection. Don't answer the phone! Listen to our podcast instead. And thanks for joining us.

Happy 2022! Things may seem uncertain so far, but we're here for you no matter what on Breakfast All Day. Our dear friend and O.G. "What the Flick?!" co-host Ben Mankiewicz joins us to share his insights on a couple of bits of sad news: the deaths of Peter Bogdanovich and Sidney Poitier. Also in news: the many cancellations/postponements/virtual versions this new covid surge has caused, including the Sundance Film Festival, the Honorary Oscars, the Westminster Dog Show and "Morbius" (again). Plus: we remember the great Betty White and marvel at the billion-dollar box office of "Spider-Man: No Way Home." We couldn't start the new year without looking back at the best and worst movies of 2021. For new reviews, Alonso and Christy discuss "The 355," "The Tender Bar," and "Drive My Car," the LA Film Critics Association's pick for best picture. And for our Patreon subscribers, we recap the first two episodes of "The Book of Boba Fett" on Disney+. It's a lot! So grab a cup of tea and a warm blanket and cozy up with our soothing podcast tones. Thanks so much for joining us.

We couldn't let the year end without one final Marvel Monday episode of Breakfast All Day. Christy and Nic have a lengthy discussion about "Spider-Man: No Way Home," which we both loved — so it's kinda like she made her kid do work over winter break, but not really. We talk about how nuts our theater went at the many revelations, the interplay between the various characters, the film's notions about the possibility of rehabilitation in a world of good vs. evil, Aunt May's fate, how terrifying Willem Dafoe is, whether "No Way Home" should be a contender for the best-picture Oscar and the many Easter eggs along the way. Thanks so much for supporting our little Marvel series — we've had so much fun doing it, and we hope we've brought you a little joy this year. Here's to a happier and healthier 2022!

We're back in the Matrix this week on Breakfast All Day — but did we ever really leave? Christy and Alonso review "The Matrix Resurrections," the fourth film in the franchise, on this final episode of 2021. We also review Joel Coen's avant-garde "The Tragedy of Macbeth" and Pedro Almodovar's excellent "Parallel Mothers." And at the end, we have a lengthy spoiler discussion of "Spider-Man: No Way Home," now that it's been out for several days and folks have had a chance to see it (but if you want to avoid this, the show ends at the 55-minute mark). In news, we discuss Spidey's record-breaking opening at the box office, more Chris Noth fallout, LA Film Critics Association winners, Oscar shortlists in several categories, that first-person Variety story on Bryan Singer and more. And for our Patreon friends, we recap the thrilling finale of "Hawkeye" on Disney+ and discuss the December Off the Menu film you chose for us, Ingmar Bergman's Oscar-winning "Fanny and Alexander." We're so thankful to you all for spending some of your time with us during this tumultuous year. Enjoy the holidays and we'll see you in a happier, healthier 2022!

Our Peter tingle is on full blast this week because we have a Breakfast All Day review of "Spider-Man: No Way Home."

Also: Guillermo del Toro's stylish noir "Nightmare Alley," Maggie Gyllenhaal's beautifully acted directorial debut "The Lost Daughter," and the psychological thriller "The Novice," the gripping first feature from writer-director Lauren Hadaway. In news, we discuss Spidey's giant opening-night box office, Spirit Award and Golden Globe nominations, sexual assault allegations against Chris Noth, an update on that Jeremy Strong New Yorker piece, Ben Affleck's conversation with Howard Stern (plus "Deep Water" going to Hulu), Barack Obama's list of the year's best films, and that adorable "Ted Lasso" animated Christmas short.

There's a place for us, and it's right here at Breakfast All Day. Christy and Alonso have reviews of some of the biggest year-end movies this week, starting with Steven Spielberg's lush and glorious version of the musical "West Side Story." We also discuss Adam McKay's star-studded and heavy-handed satire "Don't Look Up," Aaron Sorkin's homage to classic TV "Being the Ricardos," and the week's best film, Sean Baker's "Red Rocket," featuring a high-wire act of a lead performance from Simon Rex. In news, we talk next week's Golden Globe and Critics Choice nominations, Jussie Smollett, Florence Pugh, Jeremy Strong, the "Shang-Chi" sequel, Tom Holland playing Fred Astaire and Disney pulling the Ben Affleck-Ana de Armas erotic thriller "Deep Water." And over at our Patreon, recaps of this week's "Hawkeye" on Disney+, plus episodes 7-8 of "The Great" on Hulu. Grab a cup of something warm and join us!

It's December, which means lots of awards contenders and Christmas movies for you on Breakfast All Day. Christy and Alonso review Jane Campion's gorgeous and moving "The Power of the Dog" as well as Paul Verhoeven's scandalous "Benedetta," about lesbian nuns in love. Over on Netflix, there's "Single All the Way," the gay Christmas rom-com Alonso was born to review. And finally we have "Silent Night," an uneven mix of cheery British holiday comedy and end-of-the-world thriller. In news, we discuss the New York Film Critics Circle's picks, Stephen Sondheim's death, the Beatles documentary "Get Back," the "West Side Story" screening we attended (with a full review coming next week), the Gucci family's reaction to "House of Gucci," Matthew McConaughey's decision not to run for Texas governor and the Will Ferrell/Adam McKay split.

Hope you're staying cozy, and thanks as always for joining us.

It's Thanksgiving week so of course we have a veritable smorgasbord of delights here on Breakfast All Day. Alonso and Christy start off with one of our absolute favorite movies of the year — the absolute best, Christy says — in Paul Thomas Anderson's "Licorice Pizza." We also review Ridley Scott's "House of Gucci," Lin-Manuel Miranda's Netflix musical "tick, tick … Boom!" and "The Humans," based on the Tony-winning play. Also, our good friend and fellow critic Carlos Aguilar makes his Breakfast All Day debut to help Christy review the latest animated Disney musical, "Encanto." In news, we discuss Ridley Scott's reaction to low box office numbers for "The Last Duel," Eddie Redmayne's regrets about "The Danish Girl," Kid Rock's ridiculous new song, Will Smith's memoir confessions and Aaron Rodgers' covid toe. We'll be back on Friday with this week's Brunch offerings, including the first two episodes of "Hawkeye" on Disney+ and November's Off the Menu review of Jon Favreau's "Chef." We hope you're having a delicious time with those you love, and we're thankful to be a part of things.

We've got a little bit of everything for you at the buffet this week on Breakfast All Day. First, our dear friend Katie Walsh is back to help talk about the empty fan service of "Ghostbusters: Afterlife." Then, Alonso and Christy review the crowd-pleasing "King Richard," about Venus and Serena Williams (although it's really about their dad), which is streaming on HBO Max. We also talk about an indie favorite heading into awards season, Mike Mills' "C'mon C'mon," starring Joaquin Phoenix in an unusually tender role. In news, we discuss Britney Spears' freedom, the terrible new name for Staples Center, new trailers for "Spider-Man: No Way Home," "Pam & Tommy" and "Marry Me," the new Taylor Swift video directed by Blake Lively, the return of "Party Down" and "Fireplaces of the World" bringing you global coziness. And we've got lots of good stuff over at our Patreon: recaps of the season 2 finale of "The Morning Show" on Apple TV+ and the first two episodes of "The Great" season 2 on Hulu. We'll be back with you earlier next week because of the Thanksgiving holiday, so stay tuned, and thanks for sticking around!

Awards season, standard time, Thanksgiving, Christmas -- we're deep in the throes of big changes, and we're here to help see you through them on Breakfast All Day. The tremendous Katie Walsh returns to help Christy review "Belfast," which lots of folks seem to be excited about as an Oscar front-runner. Christy is far more enthusiastic about another black-and-white film, "Passing," which is glorious and available right now on Netflix. She and Alonso review that as well as "Red Notice," also on Netflix if you need something on in the background while you fold laundry, and "Home Sweet Home Alone," which is part of the Home Alone Cinematic Universe. It's on Disney+. And speaking of the streamer, Disney Plus Day is one of our big discussion topics in news. Also: Britney Spears' conservatorship ending, repercussions from the deadly Astroworld trampling, Paul Rudd is People's Sexiest Man Alive, Taylor Swift releases a do-over on her "Red" album, celebrity Covid news with Aaron Rodgers, Matthew McConaughey, Letitia Wright and Stone Temple Pilots, plus we remember the legendary Dean Stockwell. And over at our Patreon, a recap of the penultimate episode of "The Morning Show" season two. Stop obsessing over stuffing recipes and join us!

It's been a little while, but Christy and Nicolas are back with another Marvel Mondays episode of Breakfast All Day. This time we take on "Eternals," and we have mixed feelings about it. Nic and Christy discuss how uniquely beautiful director and co-writer Chloe Zhao's film is and how exciting it is to see such a diverse cast. But it also makes these ungainly swings in pacing and tone, and a week after seeing the film, Nic couldn't remember a whole lot about it. Also FYI: Christy misspoke initially here and said Richard Madden played Gemma Chan's boyfriend — she meant his "Game of Thrones" co-star Kit Harington, and eventually corrected heself. And yes, we finally figured out that the behemoth Celestial's name is Arishem, and not Assmouth as we kept calling him. Plus: bonus background sounds of Baxter playing with his squeaky lamby toy. "Eternals" is one of the weaker entries in the MCU, but we always love talking about movies together, and we're grateful to have you join us. We'd love to hear your thoughts, too.

The days are getting shorter, but we're here to be a bright spot for you on Breakfast All Day. This week, the brilliant Katie Walsh returns to help Christy review "Spencer," featuring what is perhaps Kristen Stewart's best work yet. Then, Christy and Alonso talk about the stylish revisionist Western "The Harder They Fall," and Tom Hanks slogging through the apocalypse in "Finch." In news, we discuss further details that have emerged in the "Rust" shooting, Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande co-starring in a film version of "Wicked," Middle Eastern countries banning "Eternals," AMC Theaters getting into the popcorn business and Steve Buscemi dressing as his "How do you do, fellow kids?" meme for Halloween. And over at our Patreon, we recap this week's episode of "The Morning Show," which was actually a good one for a change. Thanks so much for sticking with us, no matter the season.

Put on your go-go boots and join us for a retro-chic episode of Breakfast All Day. The brilliant Amy Nicholson helps Christy review Edgar Wright's super-stylish thriller "Last Night in Soho." Alonso and Christy also take a trip back in time -- to 1984, for a discussion of David Lynch's much-maligned "Dune." And we talk about the moving and funny documentary "Introducing, Selma Blair," which follows the actress' struggles with multiple sclerosis. In news, we discuss the continued fallout from the fatal on-set shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, "Dune Part Two" getting the greenlight, Facebook changing its name, Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority members getting angry at the HBO series "Insecure," QAnon followers thinking Biden and Harris are broadcasting from a fake White House at Tyler Perry Studios, and the trailer for the animated origin story "Lightyear." And over at our Patreon on this Halloween weekend, we've got a couple of treats for you: a recap of the shocking, new episode of "The Morning Show," and a review of Julia Ducournau's astonishing debut feature "Raw," our October Off the Menu selection. Our dear friend Matt is taking a sabbatical from the show for a little while, but we look forward to his eventual return. And we thank you all for sticking around with us all these years!

It's Timothee Chalamet Week on Breakfast All Day. He's at the center of two giant movies with ridiculously packed casts of superstars and character actors alike. First, Alonso and Christy review Denis Villeneuve's "Dune" — or at least, part one of "Dune" — which we watched under extremely different conditions. Then, our brilliant friends Katie Walsh and Tim Grierson join Christy for a lengthy discussion of "The French Dispatch," the most Wes Andersony movie Wes Anderson has ever made. In news, we talk about the tragic, fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins with a prop gun, Netflix employees walking out over the streamer's handling of Dave Chappelle, Gotham Award nominations, Travis Tritt canceling concerts over covid protocols, In-N-Out Burger fighting California's safety mandates, Celine Dion delaying her Las Vegas residency and Michael Caine retiring from acting.

We'll take up our swords and fight for your honor this week on Breakfast All Day. Our great friend Katie Walsh of Tribune News Service returns to help Christy review Ridley Scott's medieval "Rashomon" tale "The Last Duel."

Pour yourself a martini — shaken, not stirred, of course — or whatever your drink of choice may be and settle in for this week's episode of Breakfast All Day.

Then Alonso, Matt and Christy discuss the beautiful and batshit French drama "Titane," "I'm Your Man" starring Dan Stevens as the perfect boyfriend, and "Mass," an actors' showcase about grief and forgiveness.

And over at our Patreon, we recap this week's crazy episodes of both "Ted Lasso" and "The Morning Show" on Apple TV+. Thanks for joining us!

How do you do, fellow kids? We're just regular high school students like you, here to talk about the latest movies on Breakfast All Day. Christy, Alonso and Matt review the woefully misguided film version of the Tony-winning musical "Dear Evan Hansen" and the mawkish and metaphor-heavy dramedy "The Starling" on Netflix.

Well, gosh, of course we had to get all gussied up for ya this week on Breakfast All Day. Christy, Alonso and Matt review "The Eyes of Tammy Faye," in which Jessica Chastain goes all out to play the flamboyant televangelist Tammy Faye Bakker. We also discuss Clint Eastwood's latest film in front of and behind the camera, "Cry Macho," and we had to catch up with James Wan's "Malignant," because so many of you raved about how wild it is (and you were right). In news, we talk about Nicki Minaj's cousin's friend's swollen testicles, Norm Macdonald dying of cancer at 61, California Gov. Gavin Newsom surviving a recall attempt, Ken Jennings and Mayim Bialik hosting "Jeopardy!" for the rest of the year, Britney Spears getting engaged and Christopher Nolan leaving Warner Bros. after 19 years for Universal.

It's been a couple of months, but we're back with another Marvel Mondays episode on Breakfast All Day. This time, Christy and Nic play catch-up with "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings," which has been out for a couple of weekends so we do get spoilery. You've been warned! Nic loved how strange and cool Destin Daniel Cretton's movie is. We discuss the incredible action sequences, the beautiful choreography, what a scene-stealer Awkwafina is and the strong performances from a cast of legends including Tony Leung and Michelle Yeoh. And because we had to see it at a matinee, we also talk about the pros and cons of watching a movie in a theater vs. streaming at home. Let us know what you thought of "Shang-Chi," and thanks as always for joining us!

It's finally starting to feel like fall, from film festivals to kids returning to school (and hopefully getting vaccinated if they're old enough), and we're here with all the reviews and news for you on Breakfast All Day. Christy, Alonso and Matt discuss the Zoom-era charmer "Language Lessons," the documentary "Fauci," Paul Schrader's latest "The Card Counter," and "Come From Away," the joyous filmed production of the celebrated Broadway musical. And in a very different kind of segment — which we'll do again if you guys like it — we revisit the truly bonkers David Bowie puppet musical "Labyrinth," which is having a Fathom Events re-release for its 35th anniversary. In news, we discuss the heartbreaking death of Michael K. Williams at just 54, the Toronto and Venice film festivals (and the red carpet return of Bennifer), The White House requiring government employees and contractors to get vaxxed, that deliciously bitchy Los Angeles Times story about Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, "Shang-Chi" star Simu Liu's hilarious stock photo modeling history, the emotional Steve from "Blue's Clues" video and Bob Odenkirk's return to "Better Call Saul" after his heart attack. And over at our Patreon, we recap the latest "Ted Lasso" episode, which was both heartwarming and a gut punch. Thanks for joining us during this jam-packed week, and hope you're healthy and well.

We're so happy to be together again on Breakfast All Day. We took a couple weeks off at the end of summer, but Christy, Matt and Alonso are back with reviews of the musical "Cinderella," the horror sequel "Candyman," Addison Rae's rom-com remake "He's All That," and "Swan Song," with its lovely lead performance from Udo Kier. In news, we talk about what we've been up to over vacation, the Telluride and Venice film festivals, the opening this week of "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the 10 Rings" (and why none of us has seen it), Patty Jenkins' streaming comments, Miles Teller's covid infection, new release dates for several big movies (including "Top Gun: Maverick"), the fake Keanu Reeves scam and the death of the great Ed Asner at 91. And over at our Patreon, we recap the last three episodes of "Ted Lasso," which go into far deeper emotional territory than we ever could have imagined. So kick off your glass slippers and join us over this long holiday weekend.

We're delighted to have our great friend Tim Grierson come back and hang out on this week's Breakfast All Day. Tim joins Christy, Alonso and Matt to review Ryan Reynolds' video game comedy "Free Guy," the by-the-numbers Aretha Franklin biopic "Respect," and the feel-good Sundance favorite "CODA."
