Episode 407: The Killer, Priscilla reviews
It's definitely awards season with two new movies from two very different auteurs. First, we have a review of "The Killer," David Fincher's stylish, darkly funny noir starring Michael Fassbender as a meticulous hitman. We also discuss "Priscilla," Sofia Coppola's dreamy depiction of Priscilla Presley's early life and marriage to Elvis. Alonso and Christy have very different takes on these films but agree that they're both gorgeously shot and beautifully detailed. We're both traveling this week, but we'll be back at our Patreon next week to catch up on recaps of "Loki" and "The Morning Show," plus we'll launch into the miniseries "Fellow Travelers" and season 2 of "The Gilded Age."

Episode 403: The Exorcist: Believer, Dicks: The Musical reviews
The 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? And it's a big day over at our Patreon, between the "Ahsoka" finale and the "Loki" season 2 premiere, plus the latest episode of "The Morning Show," which was jam-packed.
