Breakfast All Day movie reviews

"Cocaine Bear" is finally here, and we're here for every insane moment of it on Breakfast All Day. Christy and Alonso review the much-anticipated comic thriller -- which, amazingly, is based on a true story -- and insist that if you're going to see it, you should do so with an audience. We also review "We Have a Ghost" on Netflix, a cheesy haunted house story that wastes a great cast. In news, we discuss the Oscars and SAG Awards, "Succession," Steven Yeun and more. And we've got a couple of goodies on our Patreon: a recap of "Poker Face" episode 8, which may be the best one yet, and a February Off the Menu review of the 2006 romantic comedy "Something New." And if you haven't joined our Patreon yet, now's a great time -- we're doing our first Lunch Date live chat with our subscribers on Monday, Feb. 27 at Noon PST. You can find out more here. We'd love to see you!

It's Mardi Gras! But it's always a party around here at Breakfast All Day. Christy and Alonso catch up with Bill Nighy's subtle yet deeply moving performance in "Living," which earned him a long-overdue Oscar nomination for best actor. It's in theaters now. In news, we discuss the Directors Guild and BAFTA awards, box office for "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania," Tom Sizemore, Richard Belzer and more. And over at our Patreon, we recap this week's episode of "The Last of Us" on HBO, which is another emotional doozy. Also: Mark your calendars for Tuesday, March 7 at Noon PST, when we'll do a live Oscar predictions chat on our YouTube channel. Bring your ballots and win your pools! (We'll do our best to help, at least.) Thank you so much for joining us, as always.

We begin with some exciting news on the latest Breakfast All Day: We hit 5 million views on our YouTube channel! But we also remember the legendary sex symbol Raquel Welch, who died this week at 82. The big movie of the week is "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania," which we reviewed on our previous episode. It's getting pretty negative reviews at 47% on Rotten Tomatoes, but we didn't think it was terrible. As for other new movies, we discuss the twisty thriller "Sharper," which is streaming on Apple TV+, and "Of an Age," a queer romance from Australia. And over at our Patreon, we recap episode 7 of "Poker Face" on Peacock. Thanks for sharing your time with us week after week, we deeply appreciate it.

We're delighted to have you spend part of your Valentine's Day with us here at Breakfast All Day. Christy and Alonso have an early review of the latest Marvel movie, "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania," which is in theaters this weekend. We also catch up with the Netflix comedy "You People," which we're extremely split on. In news, we discuss all those Super Bowl commercials from over the weekend as well as Rihanna's halftime performance, plus we look ahead to season 3 of "Ted Lasso" on Apple TV+ and the "Bridgerton" prequel "Queen Charlotte" on Netflix. We'll be sure to do recaps on our Patreon once they begin. And speaking of our Patreon, we recap episode 5 of "The Last of Us," which was a journey! Thanks for letting us share some time (and chocolate) with you.

The pickings are slim on Super Bowl Weekend, but we're here to steer you in the right direction on Breakfast All Day if you're looking for a different kind of entertainment. Christy and Alonso review "Magic Mike's Last Dance," which finds Channing Tatum taking the stage one final time at Salma Hayek Pinault's request. We differ on the movie but agree that the dance numbers are spectacular. We also review the extremely bland rom-com "Your Place or Mine," starring Reese Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher, on Netflix. In news, we have a lengthy discussion about songwriting legend Burt Bacharach, who died this week at 94, but somehow forgot to mention that he wrote the theme to the 1958 horror movie "The Blob," this week's opening song. Plus: trailers for "Fast X," "Strays" and "Air." And for our Patreon subscribers, a recap of the latest episode of "Poker Face." Thanks for joining us!

It's Single Mom Day here at Breakfast All Day as we catch up with "To Leslie," the indie drama that earned a surprise Oscar nomination for its ferocious star, Andrea Riseborough. Christy and Alonso also review "Jeanne Dielman," the 1975 film that topped the prestigious, once-a-decade Sight and Sound poll. In news, we discuss "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania," box office, AMC's new seating price plan, the Grammys, Armie Hammer and more. And over at our Patreon, we recap episode 4 of "The Last of Us" on HBO. Thanks as always for joining us and we'll see you again on Friday!

January is supposed to be a dumping ground for movies, but so far, February looks even worse. Still, we've got you covered here at Breakfast All Day. Christy and Alonso review "Knock at the Cabin," the latest from M. Night Shyamalan, which has an intriguing premise and some inspired camerawork but turns clunky and muddled. We also review "80 for Brady," an infomercial about Tom Brady which is a cringey waste of its formidable stars: Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, Rita Moreno and Sally Field. In news, we discuss Jafar Panahi's release from prison, "Skinamarink" on Shudder, Andrea Riseborough's Oscar nomination, a "Gladiator" sequel and Paul Thomas Anderson showing "Boogie Nights" in 70mm. And over at our Patreon, we recap episode 5 of "Poker Face," which takes a darker, sadder turn. And speaking of our Patreon, we've added a new level we're excited to tell you about. We call it: "Lunch Date." For $10 a month, you'll get all the goodies you get at the $5 level, plus you'll have exclusive access to monthly live chats where we can meet and talk about movies, TV shows, awards season, whatever! We look forward to seeing you. To find out more and either sign up at this level or edit your pledge, click here: https://www.patreon.com/bfastallday/membership

We're back in the trenches here at Breakfast All Day. Alonso and Christy catch up with "All Quiet on the Western Front," now that it's been nominated for nine Academy Awards including best picture, international film and cinematography. The stunning historical epic is streaming on Netflix. We're also back with news, including the campaign behind Andrea Riseborough's Oscar nomination for "To Leslie," the huge success of "The Last of Us" on HBO, more announcements from DC Studios, "Attack the Block 2," and the deaths of Television frontman Tom Verlaine and "Laverne & Shirley" star Cindy Williams. And over at our Patreon, we recap that deeply emotional third episode of "The Last of Us." We just passed our goal of 20,000 subscribers on our YouTube Channel, so if you're hanging out with us there, as well, we're grateful. Thanks for sharing some of your time with us!

We review two extremely different movies set in places that only look like paradise on the latest Breakfast All Day. First, Christy and Alonso are split on Brandon Cronenberg's graphic and disturbing "Infinity Pool," starring Mia Goth and Alexander Skarsgard. So many bodily fluids! Then, Nick Bell from the Fish Jelly Film Reviews YouTube channel joins Christy to discuss "Shotgun Wedding," a lifeless Jennifer Lopez rom-com that's streaming on Prime Video. And over at our Patreon, we recap the first four episodes of the Rian Johnson-Natasha Lyonne mystery series "Poker Face" on Peacock, which we're loving. Thanks for joining us!

It's a bit of a low-key week here at Breakfast All Day as we await Oscar nominations. Be sure to join us at our YouTube channel at Noon PST on Tuesday, Jan. 24 for a live discussion of the nominees. For now, we have reviews of a couple new releases: the thriller "Missing," a sorta-sequel to the 2018 hit "Searching," and the indie drama "When You Finish Saving the World," which finds Jesse Eisenberg making his writing-directing debut. In news, we discuss David Crosby, Alec Baldwin, Timothee Chalamet, the Sundance Film Festival and more. And over at our Patreon, we review the 1985 coming-of-age drama "Smooth Talk," starring Laura Dern, for January's Off the Menu. Thanks for joining us!
