Episode 318: Movie News, The Menu
November 16, 2022 00:59 - 20 minutes - 27.9 MBJust a quick, midweek nibble from us at Breakfast All Day as we review “The Menu,” the dark comedy starring Anya Taylor-Joy, Ralph Fiennes and Nicholas Hoult. It’s one of many skewer-the-rich satires out there these days. We also have some news headlines, including the huge box office opening for “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” Dave Chappelle’s “Saturday Night Live” monologue, Daniel Craig’s infectious Belvedere vodka ad and more. We’ll be back Friday with reviews of “She Said” and “Bones ...

November 12, 2022 06:27 - 39 minutes - 54.6 MBIt may seem like a random week between "The Fabelmans," "Spirited" and "Falling for Christmas," but we contain multitudes here at Breakfast All Day. Plus movie news of course, which includes Kevin Conroy, Andy Taylor, Chris Evans, Jimmy Kimmel and Aaron Carter. Over at our Patreon, we recap a couple of incredible episodes of television: the season finale of "The Handmaid's Tale" and this week's prison break on "Andor."

November 09, 2022 00:25 - 19 minutes - 26.2 MBWe’ve got a bite-sized but meaty morsel of Breakfast All Day for you midweek with our early review of “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.” Alonso and Christy have a spoiler-free discussion of the much-anticipated sequel to “Black Panther,” but join us Saturday Nov. 12 at 4 pm PST at our YouTube channel where we’ll go live (for the first time!) with an in-depth spoiler chat. You can find us here. We also review the “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story,” a hilarious parody of the music biopic about the ...
Episode 315: Movie News, My Policeman, Causeway
November 05, 2022 04:39 - 30 minutes - 41.6 MBIt’s the calm before the storm on the latest Breakfast All Day, as we review a couple of indies ahead of some huge releases in the weeks to come. Alonso and Christy discuss the drama “My Policeman,” which finds Harry Styles in a forbidden love triangle. It’s streaming now on Prime Video. We also review “Causeway,” which finds Jennifer Lawrence returning to the kind of raw, unadorned performance she made her name on originally. It’s streaming now on Apple TV+. In news, we discuss the myriad ...
Episode 314: Enola Holmes 2, Armageddon Time
November 02, 2022 03:41 - 18 minutes - 25.7 MBMillie Bobby Brown is a total delight as she returns to the role of Sherlock Holmes’ plucky younger sister in “Enola Holmes 2.” The action comedy starts streaming Friday on Netflix, but we have an early review for you here at Breakfast All Day. Alonso and Christy also catch up with the latest from writer-director James Gray, the semi-autobiographical drama “Armageddon Time,” which includes strong performances from Anne Hathaway, Jeremy Strong, Anthony Hopkins and young Banks Repeta. It’s in ...
Episode 313: Movie News, Call Jane, Stars at Noon
October 29, 2022 04:48 - 28 minutes - 38.6 MBIt’s sort of a low-key week around here as we wait for Black Panther to return on Breakfast All Day. Christy and Alonso review “Call Jane,” about the underground group that helped women secure safe abortions in 1968 Chicago, starring a terrific Elizabeth Banks and Sigourney Weaver. We also catch up with the toxic romance “Stars at Noon,” the latest from master French filmmaker Claire Denis, which is now streaming on Hulu. In news, we discuss Elon Musk buying Twitter, the “Wakanda Forever” pr...
Episode 312: Movie News, Wendell & Wild
October 26, 2022 03:01 - 21 minutes - 29.4 MBJoin us for a colorful romp through the underworld on Breakfast All Day. Alonso and Christy discuss “Wendell & Wild,” the wonderfully weird stop-motion animation fantasy from director Henry Selick and co-writer Jordan Peele. It’s streaming on Netflix starting Friday but we have an early review. We also have a ton of news to catch up on from the past week, including all the Kanye West anti-Semitism fallout, Gotham Award nominations, Henry Cavill returning to play Superman, the “Ant-Man and th...
Episode 311: Black Adam, Ticket to Paradise, The School for Good and Evil
October 22, 2022 03:54 - 31 minutes - 43.5 MBIt’s star-studded this week on Breakfast All Day, as a couple of our great friends swing by to help review some new movies with serious A-list casts. Alonso and Christy talk “Black Adam,” Dwayne Johnson’s long-awaited foray into the DC Extended Universe. Katie Walsh joins in for “Ticket to Paradise,” a scenic and superficial rom-com that reunites George Clooney ad Julia Roberts. Tim Grierson stops by for “The School for Good and Evil,” an overstuffed YA fantasy film on Netflix featuring Char...
Episode 310: Movie News, The Banshees of Inisherin, Decision to Leave
October 19, 2022 04:49 - 26 minutes - 35.9 MBIt's Arthouse Tuesday here at Breakfast All Day as we review two movies we absolutely loved. "The Banshees of Inisherin" reunites writer-director Martin McDonagh with his "In Bruges" stars Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson in a hilarious, horrifying and heartbreaking story of male friendship. The latest from Korean master Park Chan-wook, "Decision to Leave," is a gorgeous and devastating film noir that will linger with you long afterward. And in news, we discuss the "Halloween Ends" box offi...
Episode 309: Movie News, Halloween Ends, Till
October 15, 2022 05:16 - 31 minutes - 43.2 MBOh hey, we’re just hanging out with a bowl full of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, waiting for Michael Myers to come knock on our door at Breakfast All Day. Alonso and Christy review the horror movie “Halloween Ends” — which hopefully truly is the end — as well as the emotionally wrenching drama “Till,” about the 1955 lynching of 14-year-old Emmett Till. In news, we discuss the deaths of Angela Lansbury and Robbie Coltrane, as well as Sydney Sweeney as Barbarella and Liam Neeson as Lt. Frank Dre...
Episode 308: Movie News, Werewolf by Night, Hellraiser
October 12, 2022 02:11 - 31 minutes - 43.6 MBIt’s Spooky Tuesday at Breakfast All Day, as we review the Marvel special “Werewolf by Night,” which is streaming on Disney+ (and we go into spoilers, since it’s been out for several days now). We also review the “Hellraiser” reboot with our friend William Bibbiani, who’s an expert on the horror series. (Apparently this is the 11th one, and Alonso and Christy have seen none of them.) In news, we discuss the dismal box office opening for “Amsterdam,” Botox courtesy of “Triangle of Sadness,” a...
Episode 307: Movie News, TÁR, Triangle of Sadness
October 08, 2022 05:58 - 31 minutes - 42.8 MBWe're deep into fall movie season on Breakfast All Day. Christy and Alonso have reviews of two of the most anticipated titles, which happen to be coming out in the same week: "TÁR," with its riveting lead performance from Cate Blanchett, and "Triangle of Sadness," the Palme d'Or winner from writer-director Ruben Östlund. In news, we discuss Velma from Scooby-Doo being officially queer, Alec Baldwin settling with the family of "Rust" cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, trailers for "The Super M...
Episode 306: Movie News, Amsterdam, Don't Worry Darling Spoilers
October 05, 2022 04:55 - 36 minutes - 49.5 MBWe’re doing a bit of time traveling on the latest Breakfast All Day. First, Alonso and Christy look ahead to the star-studded hot mess that is “Amsterdam,” which comes out this Friday. Then, we look back at the star-studded hot mess that is “Don’t Worry Darling,” which has been out for a little while now so it’s time for a spoiler discussion. And in news, we discuss the death of country legend Loretta Lynn and the importance of “Coal Miner’s Daughter,” plus box office, the “Wakanda Forever” ...
Episode 305: Movie News, Smile, Bros
October 01, 2022 04:53 - 30 minutes - 42.5 MBWe’re in love with “Bros” and we think you will be, too, on Breakfast All Day. Alonso and Christy review this sweet and raunchy queer rom-com starring Billy Eichner and Luke Macfarlane. Also, our good friend, horror expert William Bibbiani (aka Bibbs), joins Christy to review the extremely creepy “Smile.” In news, Alonso and Christy discuss Wolverine joining Deadpool, Moviepass, Chloe Grace Moretz, Coolio and more. And it’s jammed as always over at our Patreon, with recaps of “Andor,” “The ...
Episode 304: Movie News, Avatar Re-release, The Good House
September 28, 2022 04:38 - 29 minutes - 40.7 MBOh hey, it’s just us, hanging out on Pandora for our latest episode of Breakfast All Day. Alonso and Christy catch up with the 4K re-release of “Avatar,” which is back in theaters ahead of the sequel “Avatar: The Way of Water.” We also have an early review of “The Good House,” a romantic comedy/drama that reunites Sigourney Weaver with Kevin Kline (and it’s Sigourney Weaver Day around here, which is always welcome). In news, we talk box office, more “Don’t Worry Darling” drama, Russia boycot...
Episode 303: Movie News, Don't Worry Darling, Confess Fletch
September 24, 2022 06:51 - 28 minutes - 39.4 MBWe'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+. In news, we discuss ...
Episode 302: Movie News, The Woman King, Goodnight Mommy (2022), Barbarian Spoilers
September 21, 2022 00:49 - 39 minutes - 54.8 MBSo 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 ne...
Episode 301: Movie News, Blonde, Pearl
September 17, 2022 04:35 - 32 minutes - 44.9 MBFall 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. “Blonde” finds Ana de Armas at the center of a beautiful and brutal look at the life of Marilyn Monroe, and “Pearl,” the prequel to “X,” offers a gonzo turn from Mia Goth. In news, Christy and Alonso discuss “Rogue Squadron,” “Squid Game,” “The Little Mermaid,” “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” and more. And it’s a ...
Episode 300: Movie News, Barbarian, Moonage Daydream
September 14, 2022 03:59 - 30 minutes - 41.4 MBWe’re freaking out in a “Moonage Daydream” here at Breakfast All Day, but we’re also celebrating because it’s our 300th episode! And this week is a great example of the totally random cross-section of stuff you get from us. Alonso and Christy review the trippy, kaleidoscopic David Bowie documentary, which is best experienced on the biggest screen you can find with the crispest sound. It comes out Friday, Sept. 16 in theaters, including several IMAX locations. Dan Murrell returns to help Chri...
Episode 299: Movie News, Pinocchio
September 10, 2022 06:28 - 22 minutes - 30.2 MBWe’re still waiting for someone to come along and sprinkle fairy dust on us. ‘Til then, we’re just gonna keep acting like real film critics here at Breakfast All Day. Alonso and Christy review the truly terrible live-action remake of “Pinocchio,” which went straight to streaming on Disney+. We also have lots of news for you, including the Toronto International Film Festival starting (with Alonso’s breakdown of how meaningless standing ovations are), Disney’s D23 Expo, trailers for “Glass Oni...
Episode 298: Movie News, Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul.
September 07, 2022 04:52 - 21 minutes - 29.4 MBDon’t worry, darling — Breakfast All Day is back. And Alonso is recovering and feeling perky just in time to talk about whether Harry Styles actually spit on Chris Pine at the Venice Film Festival. Also in news, he and Christy discuss the movies premiering at Telluride, new trailers for “White Noise” and “Empire of Light,” accusations against Arcade Fire’s Win Butler, and Rob Schneider saying he’ll toss away his career for his beliefs, whatever that means. We also catch up with a review of ...
Episode 297: Spin Me Round, Xanadu: Was It Great or Were You 8?
September 02, 2022 20:22 - 20 minutes - 27.7 MBLace up your roller skates and join us for an end-of-summer edition of Breakfast All Day. Alonso and Christy catch up with the comedy-drama-horror-romance “Spin Me Round,” which is as messy as it sounds. It stars Alison Brie and Aubrey Plaza and is in theaters and streaming. And in our latest round of “Was It Great or Were You 8?” we had the pleasure of revisiting “Xanadu,” which Christy still loves with zero irony. With the recent passing of Olivia Newton-John, this is a perfect opportunit...
Episode 296: Three Thousand Years of Longing, Funny Pages
August 26, 2022 23:26 - 15 minutes - 21.9 MBAlonso’s feeling a little under the weather this week, but the always delightful and insightful Katie Walsh was kind enough to fill in on a couple of Breakfast All Day film reviews. We discuss “Three Thousand Years of Longing,” George Miller’s disappointing follow-up to “Mad Max: Fury Road,” and the extremely weird “Funny Pages,” a comedy that feels like a return to the early days of indie film. We’ll be back on Monday with news as well as TV recaps for our Patreon subscribers: the season 2...
Episode 295: Movie News, Breaking, Look Both Ways
August 24, 2022 02:30 - 25 minutes - 34.8 MBIn these lazy, last days of summer, we’re catching up with a perfectly pleasant (if problematic) rom-com on Breakfast All Day: “Look Both Ways,” a “Sliding Doors” homage starring Lili Reinhart. We also have an early review of “Breaking,” in theaters Friday, starring John Boyega in the true story of a Georgia bank holdup. And in news, we discuss the #BamaRush phenomenon getting the documentary treatment, Bill Paxton, Gary Busey, “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” “Avatar,” Nick Kroll and more. Kick ...
Episode 294: Movie News, Beast, Orphan: First Kill
August 20, 2022 01:28 - 29 minutes - 40.9 MBIdris Elba will save us all this week on Breakfast All Day. Our good friend Kristian Harloff joins Christy to review the thriller “Beast” (and if you’re not already subscribed to his YouTube Channel, you should be). Alonso and Christy also review the nutty horror prequel “Orphan: First Kill.” In news, we discuss Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, Jonah Hill, “Wednesday,” “Jaws,” “Sesame Street” and more. And we’ve got a ton of great stuff over at our Patreon: recaps of the first episode of “She-H...
Episode 293: Movie News, Fall
August 17, 2022 02:27 - 22 minutes - 30.3 MBHold on tight — we’ve got you here on Breakfast All Day. Alonso and Christy catch up with “Fall,” a lean, mean survival thriller that will make you seriously squirm in your seat if you’re afraid of heights. In news, we discuss Ezra Miller, Tom Holland, Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis, Florence Pugh and Zach Braff, and we remember director Wolfgang Petersen. And over at our Patreon, our subscribers picked a great Off the Menu selection as summer draws to a close: 1973’s “American Graffiti.” H...
Episode 292: Movie News, Summering, Emily the Criminal
August 13, 2022 04:16 - 24 minutes - 33.3 MBWe begin with sad news yet again on Breakfast All Day with the death of Anne Heche. Alonso and Christy discuss the actress’ long and varied career and tragic end at just 53. Also in news: Armie Hammer, Fred Savage, the Golden Globes, “Nope,” “Bodies Bodies Bodies” and more. Plus we have reviews of “Summering,” from director and co-writer James Ponsoldt, and “Emily the Criminal,” featuring yet another gripping dramatic performance from Aubrey Plaza. And for our Patreon subscribers, a recap o...
Episode 291: Movie News, They/Them, I Love My Dad
August 10, 2022 04:45 - 27 minutes - 37.7 MBWe’re heartbroken here at Breakfast All Day over the death of Olivia Newton-John. Alonso and Christy discuss her film and music career and what she’s meant as as pop culture icon for decades. Also in news: box office, Anne Heche, Jennette McCurdy, the Spice Girls and Nicole Kidman, who will return as the face of AMC Theaters. We also have a couple of reviews for you: the horror flick “They/Them” on Hulu, and the cringe comedy “I Love My Dad.” Thanks so much for joining us during these wanin...
Episode 290: Movie News, Bullet Train, Prey, Bodies Bodies Bodies
August 06, 2022 01:31 - 33 minutes - 46.2 MBAlonso and Christy are heading in different directions in our review of the star-studded, action-packed “Bullet Train” on Breakfast All Day. But we agree that the “Predator” prequel “Prey” on Hulu and A24’s horror comedy “Bodies Bodies Bodies” are both pretty kick-ass, and you should see them as summer movie season winds down. In news, we talk about the whole “Batgirl” fiasco, the passing of the legendary Vin Scully and more. And over at our Patreon, we recap this week’s episode of “Only Mu...
Episode 289: Movie News, Nope, The Gray Man
August 03, 2022 05:37 - 33 minutes - 46.1 MBAnd we’re back! Vacation is over and it’s time to play catch-up on Breakfast All Day. Alonso and Christy have a lengthy, spoiler-filled review of Jordan Peele’s “Nope,” and we slog through “The Gray Man,” the latest big-budget, star-studded action extravaganza on Netflix. And in news, we discuss everything that’s been going on the past couple of weeks: the Bennifer wedding, Comic-Con, the “Wakanda Forever” trailer, Will Smith‘s video apology for the Oscar slap, and several celebrity deaths ...
Episode 288: Baahubali: The Conclusion, Ask Us Anything! July 2022
July 29, 2022 14:00 - 22 minutes - 30.5 MBOh hey, it’s just us, doing another round of Ask Us Anything on Breakfast All Day. Christy and Alonso answer more of your questions, ranging from our favorite movies to recommend to people, to the best Harrison Ford role, to how we got started as film critics. We also review the second half of SS Rajamouli’s two-part Telugu extravaganza, 2017’s “Baahubali: The Conclusion,” which we ended up liked better than “Baahubali: The Beginning.” We’ll be back next week with reviews of new movies, inc...
Episode 287: Baahubali: The Beginning, Was It Great or Were You 8?: The Bad News Bears (1976)
July 22, 2022 14:00 - 18 minutes - 25.3 MBWe loved “RRR” so much and got so many great suggestions of other Telugu films to watch that we’re now digging into “Baahubali: The Beginning” on Breakfast All Day. Alonso and Christy were blown away by SS Rajamouli’s 2015 movie, and we’ll have a review of part two, “Baahubali: The Conclusion,” next week. Also this week, we introduce a new segment we’re so excited about: Was It Great, or Were You 8? We’ll look back at movies we loved when we were 8 years old to see whether they truly were g...
Episode 286: Movie News, Persuasion
July 16, 2022 04:16 - 23 minutes - 32 MBDakota Johnson breaks the fourth wall to offer dry, witty asides and the well-timed eyeroll in a cheeky adaptation of Jane Austen’s “Persuasion.” Purists aren’t loving it but Alonso and Christy had a good time, as you’ll see from our Breakfast All Day review. In news, we discuss the Bradley Cooper-Huma Abedin romance, Delia Owens, Armie Hammer, Constance Wu, Joe Dante, trailers for “Orphan: First Kill” and “She Said,” and more. And over at our Patreon, we recap the thrilling season finale o...
Episode 285: Movie News, Where the Crawdads Sing
July 13, 2022 05:28 - 22 minutes - 31 MBThe moss is dripping and the cicadas are chirping, but we’re not exactly joining the chorus of “Where the Crawdads Sing,” the new movie based on the best-selling novel. It comes out Friday, and Alonso and Christy have an early review on Breakfast All Day. But we do have lots of good stuff in news, including Emmy nominations, “Thor: Love and Thunder” box office, the Lea Michele/Beanie Feldstein “Funny Girl” fiasco, Elon Musk backing out of buying Twitter, Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons gett...
Episode 284: Movie News, Thor: Love and Thunder
July 09, 2022 04:31 - 19 minutes - 27.1 MBWe loved “Thor: Ragnarok,” which makes the letdown of “Thor: Love and Thunder” that much more of a bummer. Alonso and Christy have a Breakfast All Day review of this wildly uneven MCU extravaganza. In news, we discuss the career of James Caan, who died at 82; the #Gentleminion backlash; trailers for “Clerks III” and “Amsterdam”; the George Clooney nipple batsuit; this weekend’s Blobfest and more. And over at our Patreon, we recap the epic “Stranger Things” season 4 finale and this week’s “M...
Episode 283: Movie News, Best Movies of 2022 So Far
July 06, 2022 04:31 - 17 minutes - 24 MBWe’re at the halfway point in the year, so it’s a good time to look back at the best films we’ve seen so far on Breakfast All Day. Alonso and Christy have a bit of overlap, including the spectacular “RRR,” but we have some variety, too. In news, we talk about the record opening for “Minions: The Rise of Gru,” as well as the phenomenon of #Gentleminions, in which groups of young men get dressed up in suits and ties to watch the “Minions” sequel in the theater. Also: “Stranger Things,” Tom Cr...
Episode 282: Movie News, Minions: The Rise of Gru, Mr. Malcolm's List
July 02, 2022 05:23 - 28 minutes - 39 MBYou can run but you can’t hide: Those little yellow dudes are storming into theaters this holiday weekend with the sequel “Minions: The Rise of Gru.” Christy's friend and fellow YouTube critic Dan Murrell was kind enough to slog through it with her on Breakfast All Day, and they had more fun talking about the movie than actually watching the movie itself. Alonso and Christy also review the Regency-era rom-com “Mr. Malcolm’s List,” which is entertaining but feels familiar and inferior compar...
Episode 281: Movie News, Only Murders in the Building S2 E1-2
June 29, 2022 04:20 - 23 minutes - 32.2 MBWe’re trying something a little different in our midweek Breakfast All Day drop-in: Season two of “Only Murders in the Building” has begun on Hulu, and Alonso and Christy are sharing our recap of the first two episodes widely. It’s the kind of content we usually offer exclusively to our Patreon subscribers, and we hope you’ll consider joining us there for upcoming recaps this season as well as all of our TV coverage year-round. And in news, we discuss “Elvis” box office, the celebrity respo...
Episode 280: Movie News, Elvis, Marcel the Shell With Shoes On, The Black Phone
June 25, 2022 06:01 - 36 minutes - 50.7 MBAre you lonesome tonight? Or sad, or scared, or seething with a white-hot rage over the state of things? Alonso and Christy hope to provide a bit of solace and escape on the latest Breakfast All Day Podcast. We touch briefly on the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe vs. Wade in news, plus discuss The Odd 1s Out, Florence Pugh, “My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3,” Rupert Murdoch and Jerry Hall‘s divorce and more. Of course we had to review the Baz Luhrmann extravaganza “Elvis,” as well as the...
Episode 279: Movie News, Father of the Bride, The Blob (1958)
June 22, 2022 05:43 - 25 minutes - 34.5 MBAlonso and Christy may be a little late for the ceremony, but we RSVPd yes to “Father of the Bride” on Breakfast All Day. We were both charmed by the latest version of this classic comedy, starring Andy Garcia and Gloria Estefan, which is streaming on HBO Max. We also went back in time to 1958 to review “The Blob” in honor of our Movie House Shout-Out of the week, The Colonial Theatre in Phoenixville, PA. That’s where much of the classic B-horror movie was shot, and it’s where the annual Bl...
Episode 278: Movie News, Lightyear, Cha Cha Real Smooth, Good Luck to You Leo Grande
June 18, 2022 04:54 - 35 minutes - 49.1 MBWe’d like to go to infinity and beyond here at Breakfast All Day, but “Lightyear” has us feeling like we’re slogging through molasses. Alonso and Christy do not exactly have a stellar review of Pixar’s “Toy Story” spinoff. We also review a couple of Sundance Film Festival favorites that are finally finding their way to the outside world: “Cha Cha Real Smooth” on Apple TV+ and in theaters, which has us quite divided, and “Good Luck to You, Leo Grande” on Hulu, which we both adored. In news, ...
Episode 277: Movie News, Halftime, The Godfather
June 15, 2022 06:34 - 35 minutes - 48.3 MBWe couldn’t imagine discussing “The Godfather” without our dear friend Ben Mankiewicz, so we were thrilled he was able to join us on our midweek Breakfast All Day drop-in. We revisit the Coppola classic for its 50th anniversary, and because we’re coming up on the finale of “The Offer” (which we’ve been recapping on our Patreon). Christy and Alonso also review the Jennifer Lopez documentary “Halftime,” which Christy is in (extremely briefly). And in news, we discuss the “Jurassic World Domini...
Episode 276: Movie News, Jurassic World Dominion
June 11, 2022 04:52 - 21 minutes - 30.1 MBIt’s time for more stomping and chomping on Breakfast All Day as we review “Jurassic World Dominion,” supposedly the final film in the franchise. But as Jeff Goldblum likes to say, “Life finds a way,” so who knows? Alonso and Christy also have a bunch of news for you, including Britney Spears getting married, the trailer for “Black Adam,” the JLo documentary “Halftime” opening the Tribeca Film Festival (and we’ll have a full review on Tuesday), Julia Garner playing Madonna and Rebel Wilson ...
Episode 275: Movie News, Hustle, Grease 2
June 08, 2022 14:50 - 34 minutes - 47.7 MBWe’re your cool rider and girl for all seasons on the latest Breakfast All Day. Alonso and Christy revisit the cult classic “Grease 2” on the occasion of its 40th anniversary Blu-Ray release. It’s a movie Christy loves dearly with zero irony, and Alonso enjoys enough to indulge her by talking about it. We also review the shockingly great Adam Sandler basketball drama “Hustle,” now out on Netflix. And in news, we discuss “Top Gun: Maverick” box office, the “Morbius” re-release, “Jurassic Wor...
Episode 274: Movie News, Crimes of the Future, RRR
June 04, 2022 13:52 - 27 minutes - 37.7 MBIt’s Gnarly Friday here at Breakfast All Day, as Christy and Alonso review the trippy new David Cronenberg thriller “Crimes of the Future” as well as the astounding Indian sensation “RRR.” In news, we discuss the Johnny Depp/Amber Heard verdict, Jada Pinkett Smith on The Slap, production beginning on “Furiosa,” BTS at The White House, Quentin Tarantino’s new podcast, Alonso’s viewing of “RRR” at an #encoRRRe screening and more. And we’ve got a ton of great stuff for you over at our Patreon:...
Episode 273: Movie News, Fire Island, Ask Us Anything!
June 01, 2022 05:08 - 36 minutes - 49.5 MBIt’s a beautiful day to stay inside with us at Breakfast All Day. In news, Alonso and Christy talk about the surprise release of Bo Burnham’s “Inside Outtakes,” as well as “Top Gun: Maverick” box office, Kate Bush, Bradley Cooper, Rachel Zegler and more. (Also, we realize in retrospect that "Triangle of Sadness" is a Neon movie, not A24 -- apologies for the error.) We also have an early review of the delightfully raunchy, gay rom-com “Fire Island,” which will begin streaming Friday on Hulu....
