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...

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.

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 ...

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.

We also have our first review of 2024: "Night Swim," your annual January Blumhouse horror flick. It's better than it looks but it's not as deliriously kooky as "M3GAN." Plus we remember Tom Wilkinson and look ahead to this weekend's Golden Globes in news. Hope your holidays...

We have a quick hit of movie news, mainly because we wanted to discuss Ryan Gosling's Christmas version of "I'm Just Ken," which just came out this week. We also have reviews of the movie musical "The Color Purple," which is excellent, and the sequel "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom," which is not. And for our Patreon subscribers, a recap of this week's "Fargo" season 5 episode. We are so extremely grat...
Episode 421: Christmas Movies Livestream With Alonso!
December 21, 2023 00:07 - 1 hour - 63 MBWe love connecting with our viewers through livestreams at Breakfast All Day, and they're especially fun when they give Alonso the chance to share his enthusiasm and knowledge about Christmas movies.

December 20, 2023 04:55 - 32 minutes - 44.3 MBIt's almost the end of the year, and that means major awards contenders are coming to theaters.

December 16, 2023 04:19 - 30 minutes - 41.3 MBMid-December means major awards contenders are in theaters -- at least in New York and Los Angeles, and hopefully somewhere near you soon if you don't live in those cities. On the latest Breakfast All Day, we have reviews of Michael Mann's "Ferrari" (which doesn't even come out until Christmas Day, so we're super early on it) and Jonathan Glazer's "The Zone of Interest," winner of four LA Film Critics awards this past weekend including best picture. In a quick news segment, we remember the ...
Episode 418: Movie News, Wonka, Waitress: The Musical

We review "Wonka," the Willy Wonka origin story starring Timothée Chalamet, and we're both surprised at how much we enjoyed it. We also wanted to make sure we discussed "Waitress: The Musical," which is the movie version of the Broadway production of the 2007 indie romance. Its limited theatrical run has been extended through Dec. 21. But first, news: LA Film Critics awards, Golden Globe nominations, the late Norman Lear's career and more. A...

Then, we stay in Japan for "The Boy and the Heron," the first film in 10 years from the master animator Hayao Miyazaki, and possibly his last (although he still has his fastball at age 82). Then we wrap up with "Origin," an ambitious and admirable misfire from Ava DuVe...
Episode 416: Movie News, Poor Things review
December 06, 2023 02:52 - 23 minutes - 32.8 MBWe review the best movie of the year on the latest episode of Breakfast All Day.

We also catch up on some movie news, including Spirit Award nominations, Beyoncé's "Renaissance" box office, Disney giving up on "The Marvels," and that thrilling "Furiosa" trailer. And...

Apologies for keeping you waiting, but we wanted to make sure we had time to see the extravaganza that is "Renaissance: A Film By Beyoncé."

October 07, 2023 04:09 - 19 minutes - 26.9 MBThe Devil made us do it, and by "it," we mean reviewing the latest movies here at Breakfast All Day. We were not scared in the slightest by David Gordon Green's "The Exorcist: Believer," a direct sequel to the 1973 horror classic and the first of three films he has planned in the franchise. But we're extremely split on the wildly raunchy "Dicks: The Musical." One of us liked the A24 comedy and the other didn't -- can you guess who is who?
