Episode 469: Despicable Me 4, Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, Best Movies of 2024 So Far
July 06, 2024 00:12 - 30 minutes - 41.7 MBIt's a total coincidence, given the Fourth of July holiday, but we discuss a couple of fourquels on the latest episode of Breakfast All Day. First, we review "Despicable Me 4," which finds Gru and his family entering witness protection and struggling to assimilate in suburbia. This movie has about eight plots and no plot. It also has an infinite number of Minions, which is the main reason your kids will want to see it. In theaters now. We also review "Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F," which i...
Episode 468: MaXXXine, Beverly Hills Cop (1984), Kinds of Kindness LIVE! Spoiler Chat
July 03, 2024 00:34 - 1 hour - 89.4 MBWe're at the halfway point of 2024, but we're traveling back to the mid-1980s here at Breakfast All Day. First, we have an early review of "MaXXXine," the third part of Mia Goth and Ti West's horror trilogy following 2022's "X" and "Pearl." We don't agree on this movie, which finds Goth's Maxine character from "X" pursuing her dreams of stardom in 1985 Hollywood and getting caught up in a string of killings. It's in theaters July 5. Then, we stay in this era with a revisit of the origin...
Episode 467: Movie News LIVE!. A Quiet Place: Day One, A Family Affair
June 29, 2024 02:16 - 48 minutes - 66.5 MBWe're not sure how it's possible that we're at the halfway point of the year, but here we are, and we're happy you're here with us at Breakfast All Day. Kind of a random mix of movies opening this weekend. First, we review "A Quiet Place: Day One," a prequel that takes place in New York City on the day of the alien invasion. We do not agree on this one! Lupita Nyong'o and Joseph Quinn star. It's in theaters. Then, we luxuriate in the escapist fluff that is "A Family Affair," a Nancy Mey...
Episode 466: St. Elmo's Fire (1985), I Am: Celine Dion documentary review
June 26, 2024 00:11 - 26 minutes - 36.1 MBJust a quick midweek pop-in but it's packed with drama. First, we revisit 1985's "St. Elmo's Fire," which is the ultimate Brat Pack movie. Andrew McCarthy's "Brats" documentary inspired us to see whether Joel Schumacher's film still holds up nearly 40 years later. (Spoiler alert: It doesn't.) But that John Parr theme song remains stuck in our heads. It's streaming in various places if you'd like to rewatch it, as well. And speaking of documentaries, we review "I Am: Celine Dion," which ta...
Episode 465: Movie News LIVE! The Bikeriders, Thelma, Tuesday
June 22, 2024 02:09 - 1 hour - 91.4 MBSummer brings big movies with A-list stars and weird little indie gems, and we're here for all of it at Breakfast All Day. This week, we review "The Bikeriders," the latest from writer-director Jeff Nichols. It stars Tom Hardy, Austin Butler and Jodie Comer and is based on a real Midwestern motorcycle gang from the 1960s. We do not agree on this movie! It's in theaters now. But we both loved "Thelma," featuring 94-year-old June Squibb in her first leading role. The delightful action com...
Episode 464: Movie News LIVE!, Inside Out 2, Kinds of Kindness, Brats
June 15, 2024 01:33 - 1 hour - 96.2 MBIt's an absolutely packed episode full of summer goodness here at Breakfast All Day. "Inside Out 2," one of the most anticipated movies of the season, is in theaters, and while it doesn't quite pack the emotional punch of the Oscar-winning original, it's still extremely good. We also have an early review of "Kinds of Kindness," the latest from Greek auteur Yorgos Lanthimos, which reunites him with his "Poor Things" stars Emma Stone and Willem Dafoe. This is a non-spoiler review, but we ca...
Episode 463: Backspot, Am I OK? movie reviews
June 07, 2024 10:00 - 19 minutes - 26.7 MBIt's Lesbian Week here at Breakfast All Day! And what better time than in the middle of Pride Month? First, we review "Backspot," a drama set in the intense world of elite competitive cheerleading. Devery Jacobs and Evan Rachel Wood star. It's in theaters and streaming now. Then, we review "Am I OK?", a romantic comedy starring Dakota Johnson as an L.A. woman who begins to question her sexual orientation. Tig Notaro and her wife, Stephanie Allynne, direct. It's streaming on Max. And o...
Episode 462: Movie News LIVE!, Young Woman and the Sea, Jim Henson Idea Man, Robot Dreams
June 01, 2024 01:22 - 1 hour - 60.1 MBAlonso's at the Mendocino Film Festival promoting his "Hollywood Pride" book this week, but nothing could keep us from meeting up with you here at Breakfast All Day. Totally coincidentally, it's Disney Friday. We review "Young Woman and the Sea," starring Daisy Ridley as Trudy Ederle, the first woman to swim the English Channel. It's in theaters in limited release. We also discuss the documentary "Jim Henson Idea Man," from director Ron Howard, which explores the life, career and influ...
Episode 461: Movie News LIVE!, Hit Man and Atlas With Dave White, Power
May 25, 2024 02:27 - 1 hour - 57.4 MBIt's Netflix Day here at Breakfast All Day -- totally by accident, that's just the way it shook out -- but that provides us with a wide variety of movies to review. We discussed the big new movie of the week, "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga," in an earlier episode, so make sure you check that out. Dave White was kind enough to help out on a couple of reviews while his husband, Alonso, was nursing a cold. First: "Hit Man," a sexy, modern-day noir from Richard Linklater which gives Glen Powell a ...
Episode 460: Movie News LIVE!, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, Back to Black, Babes
May 18, 2024 03:00 - 1 hour - 60.3 MBIt's a huge episode of Breakfast All Day, and we're so glad you're here for it. We have a super early review of "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga," which one of us liked a lot more than the other. George Miller's epic is in theaters May 24. We also review the Amy Winehouse biopic "Back to Black" and the pregnancy comedy "Babes," both of which are in theaters now. We start as always on Fridays with Movie News LIVE!, including Cannes Film Festival premieres, a "Legally Blonde" prequel, a "Road House" ...
Episode 459: Hollywood Pride LIVE Book Chat With Alonso!
May 14, 2024 21:57 - 57 minutes - 79.6 MBIt's a big day around here because Alonso's latest book, "Hollywood Pride," is out in the world for your enjoyment. We celebrated with a livestream while he was in Palm Springs for the launch, and were so happy to see so many of our viewers stop by and ask questions. In case you missed it, here's our conversation in podcast form. And if you'd like to know more about "Hollywood Pride" and order a copy, either in hardcover or audiobook (which Alonso himself narrates), that link is below. Than...
Episode 458: Movie News LIVE! Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, Poolman, I Saw the TV Glow
May 11, 2024 03:26 - 1 hour - 88.6 MBIt's a jam-packed episode full of summertime treats on the latest Breakfast All Day. For your weekly dose of blockbuster escapism, we review "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes," which we were just so-so on, especially given how satisfying "War for the Planet of the Apes" was seven years ago. We also discuss a couple of indies in theaters: the L.A. noir comedy "Poolman," Chris Pine's directorial debut, which is being savaged critically; and the trippy and transporting "I Saw the TV Glow" fro...
Episode 457: Movie News LIVE!, Unfrosted, The Idea of You
May 04, 2024 02:42 - 58 minutes - 79.9 MBTwo star-studded streaming movies are out there for your weekend viewing, and we have reviews of both of them here at Breakfast All Day. First, we're extremely split on Jerry Seinfeld's Pop-Tart comedy "Unfrosted," which features Melissa McCarthy, Jim Gaffigan, Amy Schumer, Hugh Grant, Fred Armisen, Peter Dinklage and many, many more. It's on Netflix. Then, we're more in agreement on the romantic charmer "The Idea of You," starring Anne Hathaway as a 40-year-old divorced mom who unexpectedl...
Episode 456: The Fall Guy Review, Challengers LIVE Spoiler Chat
May 01, 2024 00:35 - 57 minutes - 78.5 MBSummer movie season has begun, and we're here for every escapist moment of it at Breakfast All Day. First, we have an early review of "The Fall Guy," the ultimate popcorn flick, full of over-the-top explosions and self-aware humor. Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt have crazy chemistry in David Leitch's ode to stuntmen and women. It's in theaters Friday. Then, we had a lengthy and in-depth spoiler conversation on our YouTube channel about "Challengers," now that the film is in theaters. The Zend...
Episode 455: Wildcat Review, Alien (1979) Back in Theaters
April 26, 2024 10:00 - 21 minutes - 29.3 MBWe already did an early review of the big movie of the week -- Luca Guadagnino's "Challengers," which we loved -- but there's plenty more to talk about here at Breakfast All Day. First, we look at Ethan Hawke's "Wildcat," in which he directs his daughter, Maya Hawke, in an inventive biopic about the writer Flannery O'Connor. We're mixed on it but admire the ambition as well as Maya Hawke's performance. It opens in limited release on May 3 before going wider the following week. But this we...
Episode 454: Problemista, Chicken for Linda! reviews
April 24, 2024 01:51 - 19 minutes - 27.3 MBIt's the arthousiest of Arthouse Tuesdays here at Breakfast All Day with reviews of two bold and distinctive indies. First, we catch up with A24's "Problemista" now that it's available for streaming. Comedian Julio Torres makes his feature filmmaking debut as writer, director and star in this absurdist comedy set in the New York art world. Tilda Swinton and RZA co-star. Then we review the French animated farce "Chicken for Linda!" from GKIDS, which is an absolute charmer. It features a retr...
Episode 453: Movie News LIVE!, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, Abigail
April 20, 2024 02:16 - 52 minutes - 71.7 MBThis is one of those weeks on Breakfast All Day where we end up with an accidental theme: Movies about ragtag bands of misfits who come together to pull off a mission. And we happen to disagree on both of these movies, which is always fun. First, we review the latest action comedy from Guy Ritchie, "The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare," based on the true story of a secret British scheme during World War II. It stars Henry Cavill, Alan Ritchson, Alex Pettyfer, Eiza González and more. Then,...
Episode 452: We Grown Now, Sasquatch Sunset reviews
April 17, 2024 01:28 - 19 minutes - 26.4 MBArthouse Tuesday is back! We know how much you love it, so we review a couple of indies this week that are in limited release before expanding nationwide. We have a slightly early review of "We Grown Now," which received Spirit Award nominations this year for best feature, cinematography and editing. The gorgeous coming-of-age drama follows a friendship in flux between two tween boys in Chicago's Cabrini-Green housing project. It opens Friday in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago before goin...
Episode 451: Movie News LIVE!, Challengers (NO Spoilers!), The People's Joker
April 13, 2024 03:49 - 50 minutes - 70 MBWe have reviews of two very different and dazzling spectacles on the latest episode of Breakfast All Day, movies that are extremely original in their own distinctive ways. First, we have a super early review of "Challengers," Luca Guadagnino's thrilling tennis romance starring Zendaya, Mike Faist and Josh O'Connor. It doesn't open until April 26 but we loved it so much that we wanted to share a spoiler-free review now. We'll probably do a spoiler live chat down the road, and we'll keep you ...
Episode 450: Civil War, Wicked Little Letters reviews
April 10, 2024 00:39 - 24 minutes - 33.8 MBBoth movies we review on the latest episode of Breakfast All Day are about feuding -- totally by accident, but they offer an intriguing contrast. First, we have a major disagreement about "Civil War," the latest from "Ex Machina" writer-director Alex Garland. This graphic and harrowing thriller envisions an America in which sections have seceded and are attacking the federal government. Kirsten Dunst and Cailee Spaeny co-star; it's in theaters April 12. Then, we discuss a very different mov...
Episode 449: Remembering Gene Wilder review, Caddyshack: Was It Great or Were You 8?
April 05, 2024 10:10 - 21 minutes - 29.5 MBIt's spring break, but we're still here with a new episode of our Breakfast All Day podcast. So you've got that going for you, which is nice. This week, we review the documentary "Remembering Gene Wilder," which is a warm and affectionate look back at the legendary comic star of "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory," "The Producers," "Blazing Saddles" and so many more. Our good friend Ben Mankiewicz is all over it, offering his insights. It's in theaters now and will be available on VOD sta...
Episode 448: Movie News LIVE!, Godzilla x Kong: A New Empire Review With Dave White
March 28, 2024 23:58 - 41 minutes - 38.3 MBSpring break is upon us, but we had to stop by for one last visit here at Breakfast All Day. Alonso is still recording his audiobook, so Christy did another solo edition of Movie News LIVE! Lots to talk about, including Yorgos Lanthimos' "Kinds of Kindness," "A Simple Favor 2," Jerry Seinfeld's Pop-Tarts movie and Jeremy Allen White possibly playing Bruce Springsteen in a "Nebraska"-inspired biopic. Then, the always delightful Dave White (a.k.a. Alonso's husband) filled in on a review on "G...
Episode 447: La Chimera Review, Immaculate Spoiler Talk With Tim Grierson
March 26, 2024 22:26 - 28 minutes - 25.9 MBIt's another Arthouse Tuesday here at Breakfast All Day, with two movies from the daring folks at Neon. First, Christy and Alonso review Alice Rohrwacher's "La Chimera," starring Josh O'Connor as a grave robber with a magical ability to find hidden Etruscan artifacts. It's in theaters starting March 29. Then, Christy and the always entertaining Tim Grierson of Screen International offer a spoiler discussion of "Immaculate," the Sydney Sweeney horror movie that opened over the weekend. So mu...
Episode 446: Movie News LIVE!, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, Road House (2024), Immaculate (NO Spoilers!) With Tim Grierson
March 22, 2024 21:49 - 1 hour - 64.4 MBIt's the '80s all over again here at Breakfast All Day -- but then again, did it ever stop being the '80s? First, Christy and Alonso review "Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire," which is not good, but at least it does a better job of blending the old and the new than 2021's "Ghostbusters: Afterlife" did. It's in theaters. Then we review "Road House," a remake of the 1989 cult favorite with Jake Gyllenhaal taking over the Patrick Swayze role. It's streaming on Prime Video. Finally, our good friend ...
Episode 445: Late Night With the Devil, Road House (1989) reviews
March 19, 2024 23:08 - 22 minutes - 30.3 MBPain don't hurt when you're hanging out with us here at Breakfast All Day. We have a quick midweek pop-in for you with a couple of reviews. First, an early look at "Late Night With the Devil," a brilliantly executed indie horror movie that takes place within the confines of a 1970s TV studio. Longtime "that guy" David Dastmalchian is tremendous in a rare leading role. We also look back at 1989's "Road House" to see how it holds up, now that the remake is coming out on Prime Video. Jake Gy...
Episode 444: Movie News LIVE!, Irish Wish review
March 16, 2024 00:25 - 44 minutes - 60.7 MBWe have a wee pop-in for you here at Breakfast All Day on this Friday before St. Patrick's Day. Alonso and Christy review "Irish Wish," the latest Netflix rom-com starring Lindsay Lohan. This time, the Lohanaissance takes us to picturesque Ireland, and we were surprisingly charmed. But first we begin with a jam-packed live news segment, in which we discuss Jonathan Glazer, new movies from Ari Aster and Yorgos Lanthimos (both of which star Emma Stone), "The Bear" seasons 3 and 4, the death of...
Episode 443: Dune: Part Two LIVE Spoiler Chat!
March 12, 2024 21:36 - 55 minutes - 75.6 MBSo much to discuss in the epic "Dune: Part Two" that we had to do an in-depth spoiler talk, and we were delighted to see so many of you there. In case you missed the livestream on our YouTube channel, here it is in podcast form. We get into everything we couldn't discuss in our spoiler-free review of Denis Villeneuve's sequel, including Paul's messiah arc, the terrifying Feyd-Rautha, those epic action sequences and that cliffhanger ending. Come back and hang out with us in the sparkly spice ...
Episode 442: 2024 Oscar Reactions LIVE Chat!
March 11, 2024 18:41 - 1 hour - 83.1 MBWe couldn't wait to meet up with you the morning after the Oscars to recap everything that happened during Sunday night's ceremony. All those "Oppenheimer" wins, John Cena's hilarious streaking bit, that dazzling "I'm Just Ken" performance, our favorite red carpet looks and more -- we get to it all in our livestream. In case you missed it, here it is in podcast form. Thank you so much to all of you who came out for the live Oscar watch party, our reaction chat the next day, or both. ...
Episode 441: Movie News LIVE!, Kung Fu Panda 4 With Kristian Harloff, Love Lies Bleeding With Katie Walsh
March 09, 2024 01:23 - 42 minutes - 58.7 MBGreat friends stopped by the latest episode of Breakfast All Day to help out when Alonso was feeling under the weather, and for that we're thankful. The always entertaining Kristian Harloff sits in on a review of "Kung Fu Panda 4," and tries to help Christy find some inner peace on this needless, noisy sequel. The brilliant Katie Walsh was the perfect friend to review "Love Lies Bleeding," a lurid lesbian romance starring Kristen Stewart and Katy O'Brian. Alonso rallied for Movie News LIVE...
Episode 440: 2024 Oscar Predictions LIVE! With LA Times Awards Expert Glenn Whipp
March 06, 2024 20:26 - 1 hour - 61.6 MBGrab your ballot and join us for Oscar predictions! This was a super fun YouTube livestream Christy did with the great Glenn Whipp, veteran awards columnist for the Los Angeles Times. Alonso unfortunately has Covid so he couldn't make it, but we still had a great time going category by category and picking who we think will win in each one. We also really enjoyed hearing what our viewers hope to see happen, too. So come hang out with us and win your Oscar pool! The Academy Awards are on S...
Episode 439: Movie News Live!, Spaceman, The Greatest Love Story Never Told
March 02, 2024 02:31 - 58 minutes - 80 MBThe big movie of the week is "Dune: Part Two," but we've already posted our spoiler-free review of that epic sequel. So instead, we offer some thoughts on a couple of streaming options that might be of interest. First, we discuss "Spaceman," Adam Sandler's ambitious sci-fi misfire. It's streaming on Netflix. Then we review "The Greatest Love Story Never Told," the behind-the-scenes documentary about the making of Jennifer Lopez's musical extravaganza "This Is Me ... Now: A Love Story." The ...
Episode 438: Io Capitano, About Dry Grasses reviews
February 28, 2024 01:31 - 19 minutes - 26.4 MBIt's another Arthouse Tuesday here at Breakfast All Day as we catch up with a couple of major world cinema releases. The first is "Io Capitano," which is up for best international feature at this year's Academy Awards. Italy's entry marks the fifth and final nominee we've reviewed, and while we don't agree on whether it works completely, we both say other films in the category are far superior, particularly "The Zone of Interest." Then we discuss "About Dry Grasses," the three-hour-plus epi...
Episode 437: Movie News Live!, Dune: Part Two (NO Spoilers!), Drive-Away Dolls, Tyler Perry's Mea Culpa
February 24, 2024 02:42 - 1 hour - 92.5 MBWe're feeling especially spicy with an extra-long Friday episode of Breakfast All Day. Alonso and Christy have an early, spoiler-free review of "Dune: Part Two," which has IMAX sneaks on Sunday night before opening everywhere March 1. It's an astonishing achievement -- even more so than Denis Villeneuve's 2021 "Dune: Part One" -- and you must experience it on the biggest screen you can find with the best possible sound. We also review the messy comedy "Drive-Away Dolls," which finds Ethan C...
Episode 436: Drift, Hundreds of Beavers reviews
February 20, 2024 23:24 - 18 minutes - 24.8 MBIt's Arthouse Tuesday here at Breakfast All Day! We have a quick mid-week visit with reviews of two extremely different indies (although they are both about hunger and survival, kinda). First we discuss "Drift," from "The Breaking Ice" director Anthony Chen. It stars Cynthia Erivo and Alia Shawkat as two women who strike up an unlikely friendship on a picturesque Greek island. Then we review the truly insane "Hundreds of Beavers," a black-and-white, silent slapstick comedy that's unlike an...
Episode 435: Movie News Live!, This Is Me ... Now: A Love Story, Bob Marley: One Love
February 17, 2024 02:22 - 1 hour - 82.5 MBWe have a special musical episode of Breakfast All Day for you as we review two very different movies about two very different pop culture icons. First, "This Is Me ... Now: A Love Story," Jennifer Lopez's trippy cinematic odyssey to accompany her new album. It's streaming on Prime Video. Plus we discuss "Bob Marley: One Love," a frustratingly superficial music biopic about the reggae legend. It's in theaters. We begin once again with Movie News Live!, which we're really enjoying. Be sure t...
Episode 434: Madame Web (NO Spoilers!), Crossroads (2002) reviews
February 14, 2024 01:40 - 23 minutes - 32.2 MBDakota Johnson wants neither the great power nor the great responsibility that come with being a superhero in the Spider-Man world, but she's stuck with them in "Madame Web." This movie is getting savaged critically -- as of this posting, it's at 16% on Rotten Tomatoes -- but we didn't think it was completely terrible, and that's mainly thanks to Johnson's amusingly blasé performance. Speaking of movies that got awful reviews, we revisit Britney Spears' "Crossroads" from 2002, because it wi...
Episode 433: Movie News Live!, Lisa Frankenstein review
February 10, 2024 00:27 - 39 minutes - 54.3 MBSuper Bowl weekend means slim pickings at the movie theater, so we've got a review for you of "Lisa Frankenstein," a stitched-together horror movie/dark comedy/rom-com from writer Diablo Cody that never quite works. Individual pieces had promise, though, including Kathryn Newton's performance and a great soundtrack of '80s goth tunes. We're also continuing to do our news segment live over at our Breakfast All Day YouTube channel, with today's topics including "Coyote vs. Acme," Gina Carano'...
Episode 432: Perfect Days, Nimona reviews
February 07, 2024 01:46 - 23 minutes - 31.6 MBA quick, midweek pop-in here at Breakfast All Day to catch up on a couple of Academy Award contenders. First, we review "Perfect Days," a gentle gem of a film that's been nominated in the international feature category. Think of it as a Japanese "Jeanne Dielman." Then we finally -- finally! -- discuss "Nimona," a nominee for best animated feature that's been on Netflix since last summer. So many folks have asked us to review this, and we're so glad we did. And for our Patreon subscribers, a ...
Episode 431: Movie News Live!, Argylle, The Greatest Night in Pop
February 03, 2024 02:35 - 44 minutes - 60.5 MBWe loved doing movie news live so much last week that we're doing it again that way today, and probably from now on. We'll always keep you posted in hopes that you can join us! Chatting with our viewers is one of the highlights of the latest Breakfast All Day episode. We discuss the late Carl Weathers and Chita Rivera, all those crazy Taylor Swift conspiracy theories and more. The star-studded but bland action spectacle "Argylle" is one of the low points, though -- but only Alonso reviews i...
Episode 430: Society of the Snow, The Breaking Ice
January 31, 2024 02:04 - 19 minutes - 26.4 MBBundle up for the latest episode of Breakfast All Day: Christy and Alonso catch up with a couple of international films that take place in chilly settings. We begin with "Society of the Snow," a two-time Oscar nominee about the 1972 Uruguayan rugby team's plane crash in the Andes. It's in theaters and on Netflix. We also review "The Breaking Ice," a dreamy, French New Wave-tinged love triangle set along the border between China and North Korea. It's in theaters. Both films are very good, so...
Episode 429: Movie News Live!, Miller's Girl, The Sweet East
January 27, 2024 02:36 - 41 minutes - 56.7 MBIt's an exciting time to be with us here at Breakfast All Day because we did a little experiment: A livestream version of our news segment, and it went really well! We had so much fun chatting with our folks on Oscar nomination day that we're going to look for opportunities to go live more often, and we'd love to see you if you can make it. We also have reviews of two movies about precocious, flirtatious high school students: "Miller's Girl," starring Jenna Ortega, and "The Sweet East," sta...
Episode 428: 2024 Oscar Nominations LIVE Chat!
January 24, 2024 00:12 - 59 minutes - 54.7 MBIt's Hollywood's biggest morning! We had a great time discussing this year's Oscar nominations with our viewers on our annual YouTube livestream. In case you missed it, here's our hour-long awards discussion in podcast form. "Oppenheimer" got the most nominations with 13, followed by "Poor Things" with 11, "Killers of the Flower Moon" with 10 and "Barbie" with eight. (And we were just as shocked as you were that Greta Gerwig was left out of best director and Margot Robbie didn't get a best ...

January 20, 2024 03:08 - 25 minutes - 35.6 MBIt's Arthouse Friday here at Breakfast All Day, as we continue catching up with acclaimed and Oscar-shortlisted international films.

Next, we discuss "Monster," a heartbreaking, "Rashomon"-style drama from Japanese master Hirokazu Kore-eda. Then we wrap up with a spoiler conversation about the German film "The Teachers' Lounge," which we reviewed earlier this week, because so many of you ...

Christy and Alonso have an early review of the sci-fi thriller "I.S.S.," starring Ariana DeBose and Chris Messina, which comes out Friday. We also catch up with the excellent German film "The Teacher's Lounge," which has been shortlisted in the international category at the Academy Awards. And speaking of awards, we talk in our news segment about the action-packed weeken...
Episode 425: Mean Girls (2024), The Book of Clarence, Lift
January 13, 2024 04:09 - 28 minutes - 39.3 MBWe remain determined to make fetch happen here at Breakfast All Day. It's an all-review episode, starting with our mixed feelings on "Mean Girls," the movie version of the musical version of the iconic 2004 comedy. We also discuss "The Book of Clarence," an ambitious, satirical biblical epic with a star-studded cast led by LaKeith Stanfield. Finally, there's "Lift" on Netflix, in which Kevin Hart leads a crew of high-tech thieves in stealing a half-billion dollars' worth of gold bars from a...
