Episode 398: Movie News, Dumb Money review

September 20, 2023 00:08 - 18 minutes - 26.1 MB

Nothing but the smartest reviews here at Breakfast All Day. We're not totally on the same page about "Dumb Money," based on the GameStop stock explosion of 2020, but we agree that it features great performances from its ensemble cast, including Paul Dano, Pete Davidson, America Ferrera and Vincent D'Onofrio. In news, we discuss all the talk shows that have gone back on hold because of the strikes, "Lando," Russell Brand, "Winning Time" and more. And over at our Patreon, we recap this week's...

Episode 397: Movie News, A Haunting in Venice review (NO Spoilers!)

September 16, 2023 03:31 - 23 minutes - 32.1 MB

We wouldn't dream of spoiling "A Haunting in Venice," but we can say it's Kenneth Branagh's best Agatha Christie adaptation yet. We have a spoiler-free review of this gorgeous thriller on the latest episode of the Breakfast All Day podcast. In news, we discuss the "Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour" movie, Bill Maher, Chris Pine, the return of *NSYNC and more. Over on our Patreon, we recap the first two nutty episodes of "The Morning Show" season 3 on Apple TV+, as well as the week's lengthy epis...

Episode 396: Movie News, El Conde, Scrapper

September 13, 2023 03:45 - 28 minutes - 38.4 MB

Just a quick midweek drop in here at Breakfast All Day but it's loaded with good stuff. We have reviews of a couple of films we both really liked: Pablo Larrain's lushly beautiful, black-and-white  "El Conde," which depicts former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet as an actual vampire; and the witty and sweet indie dramedy "Scrapper," which has hints of "Paper Moon" in its unusual father-daughter bond. (Christy loved it.) In news, we discuss box office, Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis, Drew B...

Episode 395: Movie News, The Nun II With William Bibbiani, My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 With Dave White, Logan's Run: Was It Great or Were You 8?

September 09, 2023 14:21 - 55 minutes - 51 MB

We're heading into fall with the help of some of our favorite critics here at Breakfast All Day. William Bibbiani shares his horror insights on a review on "The Nun II," the latest installment in The Conjuring Universe. Alonso's husband, Dave White, steps in to talk about "My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3," which inspires one of our biggest disagreements ever. Plus: Alonso is back from the Venice Film Festival with a recap in our news segment of several of the movies he saw, including "Poor Thing...

September 01, 2023 23:05 - 35 minutes - 48.2 MB

Summer may be over, but we still have some equalizin' to do here at Breakfast All Day. Our great friend Tim Grierson helps out with a review of "The Equalizer 3," which finds Denzel Washington righting wrongs when the Mafia terrorizes an Italian village. And Alonso's husband, Dave White, steps in for a couple of reviews while Alonso's away covering the Venice Film Festival: the surprisingly charming Netflix comedy "You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah," and the bland Hilary Swank drama ...

Episode 393: Movie News, Bottoms review

August 26, 2023 03:19 - 18 minutes - 26.1 MB

We laughed our asses off at "Bottoms," a delightfully nutty indie comedy that's in theaters now. Alonso and Christy have a rave review of the film, starring real-life longtime friends Rachel Sennott and Ayo Edebiri as misfit lesbian teens who start an after-school fight club to hook up with cheerleaders. We also have a quick news segment, including "Dune: Part Two" getting pushed to March 2024 and trailers for "Cat Person," "Flora and Son" and more. Thanks for hanging out with us as summer ...

Episode 392: Movie News, Gran Turismo With Matt Atchity

August 23, 2023 13:20 - 25 minutes - 23.4 MB

We can't imagine reviewing "Gran Turismo" without our old friend Matt Atchity. He returns to Breakfast All Day this week to share his expertise on video games, and cars, and video games about cars. The Neill Blomkamp action film tells the true story of gamer-turned-racer Jann Mardenborough, and it's surprisingly really good. Also, Alonso and Christy catch up with some movie news, including the trailer for Zack Snyder's two-part "Rebel Moon" on Netflix, "Blue Beetle" box office and Britney S...

Episode 391: Blue Beetle and Strays With Tim Grierson, Oldboy 4K Remaster

August 19, 2023 04:00 - 39 minutes - 36.1 MB

Summer's ending and we're here for the random array of movies that come around this time of year on Breakfast All Day. Our great friend Tim Grierson from Screen International helps out with a couple of reviews: "Blue Beetle," the latest superhero origin story from DC Studios, and "Strays," an extremely R-rated talking dog comedy. Then Alonso and Christy review "Oldboy" (2003), Park Chan-wook's twisted and tragic noir, which is back in theaters in a 4K remaster. And over at our Patreon, we r...

Episode 389: Movie News, The Last Voyage of the Demeter, Red, White & Royal Blue

August 12, 2023 04:27 - 28 minutes - 38.4 MB

It's a mixed bag on this mid-August episode of Breakfast All Day. We review the horror movie "The Last Voyage of the Demeter," which really should have been called "Vampire Boat." It's in theaters now and it's not good. We also discuss the gay rom-com "Red, White & Royal Blue," based on the best-selling novel. It's streaming on Prime Video and it's very good. In news, we talk about "Wonder Woman 3," the Primetime Emmys moving to January, Robbie Robertson of The Band and more. And over at ou...

Episode 388: Movie News, They Cloned Tyrone (NO Spoilers!)

August 09, 2023 03:47 - 20 minutes - 19.1 MB

Have you seen "They Cloned Tyrone"? It's this trippy sci-fi/comedy that upends blaxploitation tropes and keeps you guessing the whole way through. We have a spoiler-free catch-up review of the Netflix film, starring a terrific John Boyega, Teyonah Parris and Jamie Foxx, on the latest Breakfast All Day. In news, we remember the legendary director William Friedkin ("The Exorcist," "The French Connection"), who died at 87. Plus we discuss "Barbie" crossing the billion-dollar mark worldwide, Mr...

Episode 387: Movie News, Meg 2: The Trench, Shortcomings, Talk to Me With Katie Walsh

August 05, 2023 04:31 - 39 minutes - 35.9 MB

Surely, if anyone can save us from rampaging megalodons, it's Jason Statham on a Jet-Ski. At least that's the point of "Meg 2: The Trench," which takes way too long to get going. We have a review of this surprisingly dull late-summer sequel on Breakfast All Day. We also review the indie rom-com "Shortcomings," Randall Park's feature directorial debut, starring Justin H. Min, Sherry Cola and Ally Maki. Plus the always brilliant Katie Walsh helps out with a catch-up review of the Australian h...

Episode 386: Movie News, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem

August 02, 2023 03:52 - 23 minutes - 21.5 MB

So great to be back with you again after traveling for much of July! But we wish we had happier news to share here at Breakfast All Day. Among the topics Alonso and Christy discuss in movie news are the deaths of Paul Reubens, Sinead O'Connor and Angus Cloud. Also: the latest in Barbenheimer box office, the writers' and actors' strikes, and the "Loki" season 2 trailer. Plus we have a review of the animated comedy "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem," which is shockingly pretty grea...

Episode 385: 9 to 5: Was It Great or Were You 8?

July 28, 2023 14:28 - 14 minutes - 19.3 MB

Travel back in time with us to 1980 for the latest round of our favorite game: Was It Great or Were You 8? This time, it was Christy's turn to pick a favorite movie from childhood to determine whether it truly was great or she just remembers it fondly through nostalgia. She chose "9 to 5," the workplace comedy starring Lily Tomlin, Dolly Parton and Jane Fonda. What do you think of the film? Let us know!   We'll be back to our regular podcast schedule of news and reviews starting next wee...

Episode 384: Barbenheimer LIVE Spoiler Chat

July 27, 2023 02:00 - 1 hour - 65.4 MB

It's been a huge week at the movies between "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer," and since there's so much to discuss in both films, we decided to do one big, sparkly, explosive spoiler chat combining the two. In case you missed our YouTube livestream, here's the audio version for your podcast enjoyment. What did you think of these movies? Did you do the Barbenheimer double feature -- and if so, what order did you do them in? Let us know, and thanks for sharing part of your summer with us. Christy a...

It's summer, so we're sort of in and out and all over the place, but we'll always find time to check in with you here at Breakfast All Day. We have a review of the indie comedy "Theater Camp," which affectionately skewers these over-eager drama nerds. It's in theaters now. And we wanted to share a segment with you that we regularly do for our Patreon subscribers. It's called Off the Menu: Every month, we offer a poll featuring several movies in a certain theme. You vote, we review it. For Ju...

Episode 382: Movie News, Rock Hudson: All That Heaven Allowed

July 12, 2023 01:55 - 22 minutes - 30.8 MB

A quick midweek pop-in for you here at Breakfast All Day. We've got a jam-packed news segment between trailers for "Wonka" and "Napoleon," plus first reactions out of the "Barbie" premiere, Madonna and Jamie Foxx on the mend, and Tom Holland discussing his sobriety. We also have a review of the Max documentary "Rock Hudson: All That Heaven Allowed," about the 1950s and '60s screen icon, his life as a closeted gay man and his death from AIDS. We'll be in and out the next few weeks, but be on...

See the latest Tom Cruise extravaganza on the biggest screen you can with the best possible sound. We also review the extremely R-rated comedy "Joy Ride," which features a great cast and a healthy mix of raunchy and sweet. Of course we had to rev...

July 01, 2023 04:27 - 25 minutes - 34.5 MB

In other news, we discuss the discovery of Julian Sands' remains, the "Dune: Part Two" trailer, Ryan Seacrest, Madonna and more.

Episode 379: Movie News, Extraction 2

June 27, 2023 22:58 - 19 minutes - 26.6 MB

We're here with a quick, midweek pop-in on Breakfast All Day. So many people asked us to catch up with "Extraction 2," the Chris Hemsworth action sequel on Netflix, that we couldn't possibly say no (even though we'd totally forgotten that we reviewed the original "Extraction" in April 2020). And in news, we have a major correction regarding Jennifer Lawrence's nude beach fight scene in "No Hard Feelings," plus box office and the real-life Barbie Malibu dream house. Thanks as always for join...

In news, we talk about the use of AI in the "Secret Invasion" titles, the gutting of Turner Classic Movies, and a bunch of new trailers including "Challengers" and "The Bea...

Episode 376: The Blackening, Lynch/Oz reviews

June 20, 2023 23:55 - 16 minutes - 15.2 MB

We're dropping in with a quick, mid-week catch-up on a couple of movies we think you'll enjoy. First, we review "The Blackening," a horror comedy that takes a sharp, satirical look at the way black characters so often are depicted in slasher flicks. Plus, we discuss the documentary "Lynch/Oz," a thrilling and thought-provoking video essay that explores how "The Wizard of Oz" has influenced David Lynch over the years. (For a list of release dates throughout the summer, click here.) Check ba...

Episode 375: Movie News, Elemental review

June 17, 2023 03:04 - 22 minutes - 20.1 MB

Grab yourself some popcorn and a drink and join us for our review of "Elemental." We both really liked the latest from Pixar on the latest episode of Breakfast All Day -- it's gorgeous and very entertaining -- even if it doesn't reach the heights of the animation company's greatest films. In movie news, we discuss the loss of a few greats in their industries: actress Glenda Jackson, author Cormac McCarthy and comic artist John Romita Sr. Also: the Netflix "Wham!" documentary trailer, and th...

Episode 374: Movie News, Asteroid City review

June 14, 2023 03:08 - 25 minutes - 23.7 MB

We've packed up the station wagon and we're ready for a road trip to "Asteroid City." Alonso and Christy have very different thoughts on the latest from writer-director Wes Anderson, but we agree that the cast is terrific and the cinematography and production design are sublime. It opens in New York and Los Angeles June 16 before going wider the following week. And in our news segment, we remember Treat Williams and discuss box office, "The French Connection," Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's...

Episode 373: Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, Flamin' Hot

June 09, 2023 22:40 - 19 minutes - 26.8 MB

We, too, are more than meets the eye here at Breakfast All Day. On our latest episode, we have a review of "Transformers: Rise of the Beasts," which we were surprised to find we kinda liked. It isn't quite as good as 2018's "Bumblebee," but it's better than the Michael Bay movies. We also sink our teeth into "Flamin' Hot," Eva Longoria's Flamin' Hot Cheetos origin story, which is streaming on both Disney+ and Hulu. Grab yourself a bowl of something salty and spicy and join us! And thanks fo...

It's an incredible week at the movies, thanks to two extremely different new releases. First on Breakfast All Day, we have a spoiler-free review of "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse," a spectacular sequel that manages to surpass the Oscar-winning original. We also have a rave for "Past Lives," a delicate and melancholy romance from first-time writer-director Celine Song. They'll probably both end up being among the best films of the year. In news, we discuss Dwayne Johnson, Kim Cattrall,...

Episode 370: Reality Movie Review, Succession Series Finale Recap With Dr. Ramani

May 31, 2023 00:08 - 40 minutes - 37.1 MB

Christy recaps the incredible series finale with insights from the brilliant Dr. Ramani, a narcissism expert who's been analyzing the HBO show all season long on her YouTube channel. Spoilers, obviously, but this was a great conversation so we hope you enjoy it. Also on the latest Breakfast All Day, Alonso and Christy review "Reality," an HBO Original drama starring Sydney Sweene...

May 20, 2023 03:30 - 37 minutes - 51.2 MB

Also this week, we review Paul Schrader's "Master Gardener" and the Italian drama "L'immensità" starring Penélope Cruz.

Episode 363: Movie News, Love Again review

May 06, 2023 03:59 - 23 minutes - 32.5 MB

"Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3" is the big movie of the week, but some smaller movies dared to share space in the multiplex this weekend. So we reviewed "Love Again," a romantic comedy/drama that hinges on a fatal car accident, some accidental texts and the music of Celine Dion. It's weird, but not nearly as weird as it could have been! In news, we discuss the Writers Guild strike, Carrie Fisher, Jamie Foxx, the "Beau Is Afraid" pajamas and more. And over at our Patreon, we recap this week...

Episode 362: Beau Is Afraid LIVE Spoiler Discussion

May 03, 2023 22:15 - 1 hour - 92 MB

So much happens in "Beau Is Afraid" that is dazzling, perplexing, terrifying, etc., that we knew we had to do a spoiler conversation to work through it all. We did it live on our YouTube channel with the help of our great friend, the brilliant Tim Grierson -- who liked Ari Aster's three-hour nightmare odyssey way more than we did -- and had a great conversation with our viewers. In case you missed it, here's the audio of that chat. Let us know what you thought of the film, and thanks for li...

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."

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...

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.
