Breakfast All Day movie reviews

We've got big, bold sci-fi, and small, sweet shorts on the latest episode of the Breakfast All Day podcast. Christy and Alonso have a spoiler-free review of "The Creator," Gareth Edwards' visually dazzling but narratively frustrating artificial intelligence epic. We also review Wes Anderson's "The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar," one of several Netflix shorts he made based on Roald Dahl stories. There are four total, which may not pop up at first, so make sure you look for them. In news, we discuss the late, legendary Michael Gambon, who died recently at 82. And for our Patreon subscribers, recaps of the latest on "Ahsoka" (which thankfully is ending soon) and "The Morning Show." Thanks for joining us as we head into a new month!

It's our 400th podcast episode here at Breakfast All Day! And what better way to celebrate than with an end to the Writers Guild strike and a review of a lovely new movie. Alonso and Christy have a quick but exciting news segment, including a WGA deal after five months of picketing and the classic '80s TV series "Moonlighting" coming to Hulu starting Oct. 10. We also discuss "Flora and Son," the latest musical charmer from writer-director John Carney ("Once," "Sing Street"). It's in theaters now and streaming on Apple TV+ starting Sept. 29. And for our Patreon subscribers, a recap of the penultimate episode of "Only Murders in the Building" season three and an Off the Menu review of William Friedkin's 1971 cop thriller "The French Connection."

We've got high and low culture here at Breakfast All Day, and we'll let you figure out which one is which. First, we review "Expend4bles," the fourth movie in the "Expendables" franchise and by far the worst. But we also get to discuss one of our favorite movies ever -- and one of the best of the year, even though it came out in 1984 -- Jonathan Demme's Talking Heads concert film "Stop Making Sense." It's in IMAX for one week in a glorious 4K restoration, then playing everywhere starting Sept. 29. Truly a must-see in the theater! And for our Patreon subscribers, recaps of "Ahsoka" and "The Morning Show." Thanks for sharing some of your time with us!   *Thinking of cutting the cord?

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 eventful and emotional episode of "Only Murders in the Building" on Hulu. Thanks for joining us!   * Thinking of cutting the cord?

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 episode of "Ahsoka," which was surprisingly great. Plus: Christy is now on Cameo! If you'd like her to record a little video for you or the movie lover in your life, click here.

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 Barrymore and more. And over at our Patreon, we recap the star-studded latest episode of "Only Murders in the Building" on Hulu. Thanks for joining us! Here are the links we mentioned: Scarecrow Video's new rent-by-mail system "Scrapper" playdates

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 Things," "Priscilla," "Maestro" and "Ferrari." For our latest "Was It Great or Were 8?" review, we revisit the 1976 dystopian thriller "Logan's Run." And over at our Patreon, we catch up on the past couple weeks of "Ahsoka" and "Only Murders in the Building." Thanks so much for hanging out with all of us! 

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 "The Good Mother," in theaters now. Enjoy the long holiday weekend, and check back next week for the latest installment in our "Was It Great or Were You 8?" series. Thanks for spending some of your time with us!

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 comes to a close here at Breakfast All Day!

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 Spears' divorce. And over at our Patreon, we revisit Ruben Ostlund's "Force Majeure" from 2014 for our August Off the Menu, and recap this week's "Only Murders in the Building" episode. Thanks for joining us!
