Episode 322: Movie News, Violent Night, The Inspection
It's December, so we're officially in Christmas movie season on Breakfast All Day. But we have very different opinions of "Violent Night," an action flick starring David Harbour as a butt-kicking Santa Claus. We are in agreement, though, about "The Inspection," a sensitive and compelling indie drama about a queer, black man who joins the Marines. In news, we discuss the New York Film Critics Circle's year-end picks, the once-a decade Sight & Sound poll where "Jeanne Dielman" was named the best film ever, a bunch of trailers including the hilarious "Cocaine Bear," and the death of Fleetwood Mac's legendary singer/songwriter/keyboardist Christine McVie. And for our Patreon subscribers, we finally (finally!) wrap up "The Vow Part II." Stay warm and thanks for joining us! * If you're loving how we look and sound these days, it's thanks to Riverside.

Episode 321: Movie News, The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, Aftersun
We're back from Thanksgiving break and we're stuffed with goodies for you on Breakfast All Day. First, we review the delightfully silly and sweet "Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special," which is streaming now on Disney+. We also catch up with the excellent "Aftersun," which is sure to end up on lots of top-10 lists and become an awards contender. In news, we discuss the Oscars, Gotham Awards, Spirit Award nominations, Irene Cara and more. And over at our Patreon, we recap the outstanding season finale of "Andor." Thanks as always for joining us! * Our latest Movie House Shout-Out goes to The Independent in Big Sky, Montana, where Christy visited while skiing with her family over the holiday. They show new releases and have a Christmas movie festival planned throughout December, but they also offer a bar, restaurant, trivia and live music. The Independent is a great hub for arts and community in the mountains. To find out more, visit them here. * If you're loving how we look and sound these days, it's thanks to Riverside.

Episode 320: Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (No Spoilers!), Disenchanted
Just a quick midweek bite here at Breakfast All Day so you can save plenty of room for Thanksgiving dinner. Christy and Alonso review the star-studded sequel "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery," which is playing in theaters for a week starting Nov. 23 before streaming on Netflix Dec. 23. We also catch up with "Disenchanted," the disappointing sequel to the 2007 fairy tale musical "Enchanted," which is streaming on Disney+. We hope you enjoy a wonderful holiday with your family and friends, and we'll see you again next week! * If you're loving how we sound these days, it's thanks to Riverside, the new platform we're using.

We hope you brought your appetite, because we've got a lot to chew on with our latest episode of Breakfast All Day. Christy and Alonso review "Bones and All," starring Timothee Chalamet and Taylor Russell as young cannibals in love. We also discuss "She Said," about the New York Times reporters who broke the Harvey Weinstein sexual harassment story. In news, we talk about the Taylor Swift tour overwhelming Ticketmaster, more Twitter destruction, Brendan Fraser, the "80 for Brady" trailer and more. And over at our Patreon, we're getting closer to the end of "Andor" with the thrilling penultimate episode. Enjoy, and thanks for sharing some of your holiday time with us.

Episode 318: Movie News, The Menu
Just a quick, midweek nibble from us at Breakfast All Day as we review "The Menu," the dark comedy starring Anya Taylor-Joy, Ralph Fiennes and Nicholas Hoult. It's one of many skewer-the-rich satires out there these days. We also have some news headlines, including the huge box office opening for "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever," Dave Chappelle's "Saturday Night Live" monologue, Daniel Craig's infectious Belvedere vodka ad and more. We'll be back Friday with reviews of "She Said" and "Bones and All," so be sure to join us!

Episode 317: Movie News, The Fabelmans, Spirited, Falling for Christmas
It may seem like a random week between "The Fabelmans," "Spirited" and "Falling for Christmas," but we contain multitudes here at Breakfast All Day. Plus movie news of course, which includes Kevin Conroy, Andy Taylor, Chris Evans, Jimmy Kimmel and Aaron Carter. Over at our Patreon, we recap a couple of incredible episodes of television: the season finale of "The Handmaid's Tale" and this week's prison break on "Andor." And don't forget to join us Saturday afternoon for out live spoiler discussion of "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" at our YouTube channel. You can find us here.

Episode 316: Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Weird: The Al Yankovic Story
We've got a bite-sized but meaty morsel of Breakfast All Day for you midweek with our early review of "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever." Alonso and Christy have a spoiler-free discussion of the much-anticipated sequel to "Black Panther," but join us Saturday Nov. 12 at 4 pm PST at our YouTube channel where we'll go live (for the first time!) with an in-depth spoiler chat. You can find us here. We also review the "Weird: The Al Yankovic Story," a hilarious parody of the music biopic about the king of parody songs. It's streaming on The Roku Channel.

Episode 315: Movie News, My Policeman, Causeway
It's the calm before the storm on the latest Breakfast All Day, as we review a couple of indies ahead of some huge releases in the weeks to come. Alonso and Christy discuss the drama "My Policeman," which finds Harry Styles in a forbidden love triangle. It's streaming now on Prime Video. We also review "Causeway," which finds Jennifer Lawrence returning to the kind of raw, unadorned performance she made her name on originally. It's streaming now on Apple TV+. In news, we discuss the myriad ways Elon Musk is ruining Twitter, plus the new "Avatar: The Way of Water" trailer, Kit Connor, Aubrey Plaza, the documentary "God Forbid" and more. And over at our Patreon, the latest on "Andor" and "The Handmaid's Tale." Cozy up on this fall day and join us!

Episode 314: Enola Holmes 2, Armageddon Time
Millie Bobby Brown is a total delight as she returns to the role of Sherlock Holmes' plucky younger sister in "Enola Holmes 2." The action comedy starts streaming Friday on Netflix, but we have an early review for you here at Breakfast All Day. Alonso and Christy also catch up with the latest from writer-director James Gray, the semi-autobiographical drama "Armageddon Time," which includes strong performances from Anne Hathaway, Jeremy Strong, Anthony Hopkins and young Banks Repeta. It's in limited release now but is expanding wider. We're shocked that it's already November, so stick with us for this big month of movies! And mark your calendar for Nov. 12, when we'll do a livestream discussion of "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" on our YouTube channel. Join us, and if you haven't already, we'd love it if you'd subscribe.

Episode 313: Movie News, Call Jane, Stars at Noon
It's sort of a low-key week around here as we wait for Black Panther to return on Breakfast All Day. Christy and Alonso review "Call Jane," about the underground group that helped women secure safe abortions in 1968 Chicago, starring a terrific Elizabeth Banks and Sigourney Weaver. We also catch up with the toxic romance "Stars at Noon," the latest from master French filmmaker Claire Denis, which is now streaming on Hulu. In news, we discuss Elon Musk buying Twitter, the "Wakanda Forever" premiere (and keep an eye out for our YouTube livestream discussion on Nov. 12), the weird Matthew Perry-Keanu Reeves beef, James Gunn taking over DC Studios and more. And over at our Patreon, recaps of this week's excellent episodes of "Andor" and "The Handmaid's Tale." Thanks as always for hanging out, and save some Halloween candy for us.
