Breakfast All Day movie reviews

We begin with sad news yet again on Breakfast All Day with the death of Anne Heche. Alonso and Christy discuss the actress' long and varied career and tragic end at just 53. Also in news: Armie Hammer, Fred Savage, the Golden Globes, "Nope," "Bodies Bodies Bodies" and more. Plus we have reviews of "Summering," from director and co-writer James Ponsoldt, and "Emily the Criminal," featuring yet another gripping dramatic performance from Aubrey Plaza. And for our Patreon subscribers, a recap of this week's "Only Murders in the Building." Could Michael Rapaport really be Glitter Guy? We're not so sure. Join us for a late summer hangout.

We're heartbroken here at Breakfast All Day over the death of Olivia Newton-John. Alonso and Christy discuss her film and music career and what she's meant as as pop culture icon for decades. Also in news: box office, Anne Heche, Jennette McCurdy, the Spice Girls and Nicole Kidman, who will return as the face of AMC Theaters. We also have a couple of reviews for you: the horror flick "They/Them" on Hulu, and the cringe comedy "I Love My Dad." Thanks so much for joining us during these waning days of summer.

Alonso and Christy are heading in different directions in our review of the star-studded, action-packed "Bullet Train" on Breakfast All Day. But we agree that the "Predator" prequel "Prey" on Hulu and A24's horror comedy "Bodies Bodies Bodies" are both pretty kick-ass, and you should see them as summer movie season winds down. In news, we talk about the whole "Batgirl" fiasco, the passing of the legendary Vin Scully and more. And over at our Patreon, we recap this week's episode of "Only Murders in the Building," which sheds some light on Mabel's past. Hop on and join us.

And we're back! Vacation is over and it's time to play catch-up on Breakfast All Day. Alonso and Christy have a lengthy, spoiler-filled review of Jordan Peele's "Nope," and we slog through "The Gray Man," the latest big-budget, star-studded action extravaganza on Netflix. And in news, we discuss everything that's been going on the past couple of weeks: the Bennifer wedding, Comic-Con, the "Wakanda Forever" trailer, Will Smith's video apology for the Oscar slap, and several celebrity deaths including Paul Sorvino and Nichelle Nichols. Hope your summer's been restful, and thanks for spending part of it with us.

Oh hey, it's just us, doing another round of Ask Us Anything on Breakfast All Day. Christy and Alonso answer more of your questions, ranging from our favorite movies to recommend to people, to the best Harrison Ford role, to how we got started as film critics. We also review the second half of SS Rajamouli's two-part Telugu extravaganza, 2017's "Baahubali: The Conclusion," which we ended up liked better than "Baahubali: The Beginning." We'll be back next week with reviews of new movies, including "Nope" and "Bullet Train." Thanks for sharing part of your summer with us!

We loved "RRR" so much and got so many great suggestions of other Telugu films to watch that we're now digging into "Baahubali: The Beginning" on Breakfast All Day. Alonso and Christy were blown away by SS Rajamouli's 2015 movie, and we'll have a review of part two, "Baahubali: The Conclusion," next week. Also this week, we introduce a new segment we're so excited about: Was It Great, or Were You 8? We'll look back at movies we loved when we were 8 years old to see whether they truly were great, or we're just remembering them fondly through the rosy lens of nostalgia. First off: Alonso has chosen "The Bad News Bears" from 1976. When you're done listening, you can vote on our YouTube poll. Let us know what you think, and thanks for spending part of your summer with us!

Dakota Johnson breaks the fourth wall to offer dry, witty asides and the well-timed eyeroll in a cheeky adaptation of Jane Austen's "Persuasion." Purists aren't loving it but Alonso and Christy had a good time, as you'll see from our Breakfast All Day review. In news, we discuss the Bradley Cooper-Huma Abedin romance, Delia Owens, Armie Hammer, Constance Wu, Joe Dante, trailers for "Orphan: First Kill" and "She Said," and more. And over at our Patreon, we recap the thrilling season finale of "Ms. Marvel." Quick programming note: Christy's heading out on vacation for a couple of weeks, but we have lots of goodies planned in her absence, including another round of Ask Us Anything and a new segment we're really excited about. Thanks for listening, and we'll be back with new episodes the first week in August!

The moss is dripping and the cicadas are chirping, but we're not exactly joining the chorus of "Where the Crawdads Sing," the new movie based on the best-selling novel. It comes out Friday, and Alonso and Christy have an early review on Breakfast All Day. But we do have lots of good stuff in news, including Emmy nominations, "Thor: Love and Thunder" box office, the Lea Michele/Beanie Feldstein "Funny Girl" fiasco, Elon Musk backing out of buying Twitter, Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons getting married, and more. And over at our Patreon, we recap the latest episode of "Only Murders in the Building" on Hulu. Hop in your boat and join us.

We loved "Thor: Ragnarok," which makes the letdown of "Thor: Love and Thunder" that much more of a bummer. Alonso and Christy have a Breakfast All Day review of this wildly uneven MCU extravaganza. In news, we discuss the career of James Caan, who died at 82; the #Gentleminion backlash; trailers for "Clerks III" and "Amsterdam"; the George Clooney nipple batsuit; this weekend's Blobfest and more. And over at our Patreon, we recap the epic "Stranger Things" season 4 finale and this week's "Ms. Marvel." Join us!

We're at the halfway point in the year, so it's a good time to look back at the best films we've seen so far on Breakfast All Day. Alonso and Christy have a bit of overlap, including the spectacular "RRR," but we have some variety, too. In news, we talk about the record opening for "Minions: The Rise of Gru," as well as the phenomenon of #Gentleminions, in which groups of young men get dressed up in suits and ties to watch the "Minions" sequel in the theater. Also: "Stranger Things," Tom Cruise's 60th birthday and the end of the Movie Trivia Schmoedown. And for our Patreon subscribers, a recap of this week's delightful yet poignant episode of "Only Murders in the Building." Thanks for joining us for this quick, midweek pop-in.
