Episode 332: Movie News, Skinamarink
A quick midweek drop-in to delight and frighten you here at Breakfast All Day. Our good friend William Bibbiani joins Christy for a review of the buzzy, low-budget horror movie "Skinamarink," which is extremely slow and definitely not for everyone, but it's effectively creepy. In news, we actually have some good things to tell you about, including Jeremy Renner recovering from his snowplow accident, the premiere of "The Last of Us" on HBO, the LA Film Critics awards dinner, and Madonna announcing a world tour. And speaking of "The Last of Us," Alonso and Christy recap episode 1 over at our Patreon, and we'll be doing it all season long, so we'd love to have you join us.

Episode 329: Movie News, M3GAN, Best and Worst Movies of 2022
Happy New Year! We've missed you and we're happy to be back here at Breakfast All Day. But before we look ahead to the upcoming year, we share our picks for the best and worst movies of 2022. January starts off on a surprising high note with the delightfully nutty "M3GAN," and our good friend William Bibbiani was kind enough to join in and share his thoughts on this creepy doll horror comedy. And we've got a few items of movie news to share, including Jeremy Renner's snowplow accident, box office for "Avatar: The Way of Water," Lisa Rinna leaving "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" and Noah Schnapp coming out on TikTok. We're glad you're here for all of it!

Episode 328: Ask Us Anything!, I Wanna Dance With Somebody
It's our last episode of 2022! So we're wrapping things up with a round of Ask Us Anything. Among the questions Alonso and Christy answer: what's the hardest part of being a film critic, what would we put on a Sight & Sound ballot, and what's a great so-bad-it's-good Christmas movie? Also, the brilliant Katie Walsh returns to help Christy review "I Wanna Dance With Somebody." We have very different opinions on the Whitney Houston biopic. We hope you enjoy this episode and everything we've shared over the year. We're truly grateful to have you spend time with us, and we look forward to seeing more of you in 2023.
