Breakfast All Day movie reviews

It's a big week with much-anticipated movies and old friends stopping by to discuss them on Breakfast All Day. These are extra long reviews, so get comfy: SPRINGSTEEN: DELIVER ME FROM NOWHERE: Our dear, old friend and former co-host Ben Mankiewicz of Turner Classic Movies, who also happens to be a Bruce Springsteen superfan, shares his thoughts. All three of us have very different opinions of this movie, but we agree that Jeremy Allen White is great in it as The Boss. In theaters. BUGONIA: The always insightful Tim Grierson from Screen International sits in for Alonso on the new Yorgos Lanthimos movie. Is Big Pharma CEO Emma Stone really a space alien? Or is Jesse Plemons just a crackpot conspiracy theorist? We won't tell you here because it's a non-spoiler review, but we both loved it. In theaters. No movie news livestream this week because Alonso is traveling, but we'll be back on Oct. 31. Thanks for sharing some of your time with us!

A quick but thrilling episode to end your week here at Breakfast All Day. First, we review "Black Phone 2," the sequel to 2022's "The Black Phone," and who among us expected we'd be getting one of those? Ethan Hawke returns to make more obscene phone calls. In theaters. Then, the always brilliant Katie Walsh fills in for Alonso on a review of "Frankenstein." This is the movie Guillermo del Toro has wanted to make his entire life, and it's everything you'd imagine it would be. Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi and Mia Goth star. In select theaters now before streaming on Netflix Nov. 7. No movie news livestream this week because Alonso is traveling. Thanks for joining us!

It's an insane Arthouse Tuesday here at Breakfast All Day, so let's get right to it. In our latest episode, we have reviews of: AFTER THE HUNT: The latest provocation from Luca Guadagnino, starring Julia Roberts, Andrew Garfield and Ayo Edebiri. We have thoughts. In theaters. IF I HAD LEGS I'D KICK YOU: Rose Byrne is great as a harried mom in this indie thriller from writer-director Mary Bronstein. In theaters. JOHN CANDY: I LIKE ME: This star-studded documentary takes an appreciative look at the life and career of comedian John Candy, who died at just 43. Streaming on Prime Video. ORWELL: 2+2=5: Raoul Peck's extended video essay reminds us that George Orwell was right all along in warning us about authoritarianism. In theaters. Plus we shared a few thoughts on the prolific career of Diane Keaton, who died this past week at age 79. We'll go more in-depth on the Oscar winner's work with our November Off the Menu poll, so keep an eye out for that and pick the film of hers you'd like to see us review.

We're continuing to blaze a trail through the many, many movies opening on October 10 here at Breakfast All Day. Earlier this week, we reviewed TRON: ARES, A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE and KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN. Today, we discussed: ROOFMAN: Channing Tatum is ridiculously charming as a robber who escapes from prison and hides inside a Toys "R" Us store for six months. This actually happened. We enjoyed Tatum's performance, and the cast is strong, but the tone is off from indie director Derek Cianfrance. In theaters. URCHIN: Harris Dickinson makes an auspicious filmmaking debut with this gritty and intimate tale of addiction. Dickinson writes, directs and has a small supporting role, but Frank Dillane is the star as a young man trying to get clean but getting in his own way. In theaters. MOVIE NEWS LIVE! This was a lengthy one since we took last week off and there's so much to discuss. Among this week's topics were "Marty Supreme," the Riyadh Comedy Festival, the Melania Trump documentary, Rush reuniting with a new drummer, and the Smashing Pumpkins smoothie at Erewhon. We're hoping to go live again next Friday, so stay tuned for details. Thanks for being with us during this busy time!

October 10 is such an insanely packed week that we wanted to review a few of the new releases a little early here at Breakfast All Day: TRON: ARES: The third movie in the "Tron" series has a dopey script but extremely cool visual effects and a great soundtrack from Nine Inch Nails. See it on a giant screen and pretend you're watching a two-hour music video. Jared Leto, Greta Lee and Evan Peters star. In theaters this weekend. A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE: Kathryn Bigelow is back with a sharp, tense tale about what happens when an unknown country launches a nuclear strike against the United States. Rebecca Ferguson, Anthony Ramos, Tracy Letts, Gabriel Basso and Jared Harris are among the incredible ensemble cast. This is one of the year's best. In theaters this weekend before streaming on Netflix Oct. 24. KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN: This splashy movie musical from "Dreamgirls" director Bill Condon features dazzling production numbers, lush production values and great performances from Jennifer Lopez, Diego Luna and Tonatiuh, who is going to be a star. In theaters this weekend. Check back with us on Friday when we'll have reviews of "Roofman" and "Urchin" as well as Movie News LIVE! Join us at our YouTube channel at Noon Pacific. Thanks for being here.

We'll spin around and wag our tails for a treat -- we're kinda shameless that way here at Breakfast All Day. October begins with reviews of three very different films: GOOD BOY, a lean and clever horror movie told from a dog's perspective. Indy, who's director and co-writer Ben Leonberg's own retriever, is actually the best boy. And in case you're worried: He's OK at the end. In theaters. PLAY DIRTY, a listless action comedy from director and co-writer Shane Black, who's had a much better track record with this kind of movie in the past ("Kiss Kiss Bang Bang," "The Nice Guys"). Mark Wahlberg and LaKeith Stanfield lead an ensemble cast. Streaming on Prime Video, but you should avoid it. ARE WE GOOD?, an intimate documentary that looks at the life and career of comedian and "WTF Podcast" host Marc Maron. In particular, it focuses on how he's working through grief after the death of his girlfriend, filmmaker Lynn Shelton. We liked this. In theaters. Next week is nuts, with about eight movies coming out that have awards potential, or at least year-end buzz. So keep your ears open, and we'll help guide you through this busy time.

We've got a mid-week Breakfast All Day drop-in for you with exactly two items: An early review of "The Smashing Machine," in which Dwayne Johnson transforms himself to play MMA fighter Mark Kerr. It's in theaters Friday. A lengthy, LIVE spoiler chat about Paul Thomas Anderson's "One Battle After Another," which we hosted on our YouTube channel. See you Friday for the Marc Maron documentary "Are We Good?" our weekly news livestream at Noon Pacific, and much more. Enjoy!

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! Subscribe to Christy's Saturday Matinee newsletter: https://christylemire.beehiiv.com/

September winds down in unspectacular fashion here at Breakfast All Day with two new movies you're welcome to avoid. We begin with "HIM," a horror film set in the world of pro football. Lots of style, cool production design and some striking cinematography, but it becomes overwhelming and -- eventually -- just plain silly. Marlon Wayans, Tyriq Withers and Julia Fox star. In theaters. Then we discuss "A Big Bold Beautiful Journey," which isn't much better. Colin Farrell and Margot Robbie meet cute at a wedding, then get stuck on a magical realist road trip in a rented Saturn where they must return to pivotal moments from their pasts. Kogonada ("Columbus," "After Yang") directed, and we usually love him, but this is cloying and hollow. In theaters. Finally, we have a lengthy Movie News LIVE! for you. We spent quite a bit of time on Jimmy Kimmel and Robert Redford, but we also discussed the new Taylor Swift movie and the trailer for "Anaconda." Join us every Friday at Noon Pacific. Thanks for being here! Join us before a showing of ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER on opening weekend. We'll be at CinemaWest Beach Cities before the 6pm showing on Friday, Sept. 26. Say hello to us in the lobby bar starting around 530pm, then head into the theater and see the movie on their GIANT screen.

It's a jam-packed, mid-week episode of our Breakfast All Day podcast. We begin with a super-early, spoiler-free review of "One Battle After Another." Paul Thomas Anderson's latest epic doesn't come out until Sept. 26, but we couldn't wait to talk about it. We'll do a spoiler-free LIVE YouTube chat at Noon Pacific on Tuesday, Sept. 30, so mark your calendars for that. And! Join us before a showing of ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER on opening weekend.

We catch up with the charming indie rom-com "The Baltimorons," about an unlikely relationship that develops on Christmas Eve. And we spend some time remembering Robert Redford, who died this week at his Utah home at 89. Words like "legend" and "icon" don't feel like enough in describing Redford's life and career. He was THE movie star. We'll honor him with our Off the Menu poll on our Patreon next month, so keep an eye out for that. Thanks for being here!
