Episode 555: Eleanor the Great, Strange Journey: The Story of Rocky Horror, Movie News LIVE!

We're wrapping up September with a quick and random episode of Breakfast All Day so we can get out to the theater and see our people in person!

Tonight's the night for our meet-and-greet at CinemaWest Beach Cities in El Segundo. We'll be at the lobby bar before the 6pm showing of "One Battle After Another." Come say hi around 530, grab a drink and a Pink's hot dog, then check out Paul Thomas Anderson's new epic on their Giant screen. Details and tickets are available here: https://web.cinemawest.com/films/One-Battle-After-Another/HO00000209

As for new reviews, we begin with "Eleanor the Great," Scarlett Johansson's directorial debut. June Squibb stars as 94-year-old woman who moves back to New York after the loss of her best friend and tells a big lie that spirals out of control. This movie is a mess tonally, but Squibb is always a delight. In theaters.

Next up is "Strange Journey: The Story of Rocky Horror." This is a documentary about "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," the ultimate cult movie, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary today. Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, Barry Bostwick, Richard O'Brien and many more share their memories of this groundbreaking, enduring film, which is still playing in midnight showings decades later. In theaters.

Finally, it's Movie News LIVE! Jimmy Kimmel's back, trailers for "The Mandalorian and Grogu" and "The Bride," the "Weapons" spin-off movie about Aunt Gladys and much more. Join us here every Friday at Noon Pacific. We love seeing you!
