Breakfast All Day movie reviews

You can run but you can't hide: Those little yellow dudes are storming into theaters this holiday weekend with the sequel "Minions: The Rise of Gru." Christy's friend and fellow YouTube critic Dan Murrell was kind enough to slog through it with her on Breakfast All Day, and they had more fun talking about the movie than actually watching the movie itself. Alonso and Christy also review the Regency-era rom-com "Mr. Malcolm's List," which is entertaining but feels familiar and inferior compared to "Bridgerton." In news, we discuss the Cinerama Dome, R. Kelly, Dakota Johnson, Tim Allen, Cameron Diaz and more. And over at our Patreon, we recap the gripping second-to-last episode of "Stranger Things" season 4 (we'll get to the finale next week) as well as "Ms. Marvel" E4. Stay safe this weekend and thanks for sticking with us.

We're trying something a little different in our midweek Breakfast All Day drop-in: Season two of "Only Murders in the Building" has begun on Hulu, and Alonso and Christy are sharing our recap of the first two episodes widely. It's the kind of content we usually offer exclusively to our Patreon subscribers, and we hope you'll consider joining us there for upcoming recaps this season as well as all of our TV coverage year-round. And in news, we discuss "Elvis" box office, the celebrity response to the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade, Alec Baldwin interviewing Woody Allen, and the theory that Maverick's actually dead for most of the "Top Gun" sequel. What do you think? Let us know, and thanks for hanging out with us.

Are you lonesome tonight? Or sad, or scared, or seething with a white-hot rage over the state of things? Alonso and Christy hope to provide a bit of solace and escape on the latest Breakfast All Day Podcast. We touch briefly on the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe vs. Wade in news, plus discuss The Odd 1s Out, Florence Pugh, "My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3," Rupert Murdoch and Jerry Hall's divorce and more. Of course we had to review the Baz Luhrmann extravaganza "Elvis," as well as the completely charming "Marcel the Shell With Shoes On" and the gripping horror film "The Black Phone." And for our Patreon pals, recaps of the "Obi-Wan Kenobi" finale and this week's "Ms. Marvel." We're here for you no matter what, so thanks for sticking with us. Be safe out there.

Alonso and Christy may be a little late for the ceremony, but we RSVPd yes to "Father of the Bride" on Breakfast All Day. We were both charmed by the latest version of this classic comedy, starring Andy Garcia and Gloria Estefan, which is streaming on HBO Max. We also went back in time to 1958 to review "The Blob" in honor of our Movie House Shout-Out of the week, The Colonial Theatre in Phoenixville, PA. That's where much of the classic B-horror movie was shot, and it's where the annual Blobfest will take place July 8-10. Watch the movie with fellow "Blob" fans, then run screaming from the theater together in terror! Tickets are on sale now. And in news, we discuss "Lightyear" box office, the latest "Stranger Things" trailer, Ben Stiller visiting Ukraine, and the documentary "George Michael: Freedom Uncut," in theaters one night only on June 22. We don't want your freedom, as Wham! sang, so thanks very much for sticking with us.

We'd like to go to infinity and beyond here at Breakfast All Day, but "Lightyear" has us feeling like we're slogging through molasses. Alonso and Christy do not exactly have a stellar review of Pixar's "Toy Story" spinoff. We also review a couple of Sundance Film Festival favorites that are finally finding their way to the outside world: "Cha Cha Real Smooth" on Apple TV+ and in theaters, which has us quite divided, and "Good Luck to You, Leo Grande" on Hulu, which we both adored. In news, we discuss Ryan Gosling as Ken, Ana de Armas as Marilyn Monroe, BTS, Tom Hanks and the late French cinema legend Jean-Louis Trintignant. And we've got an insane amount of stuff for you over at our Patreon: finales of "Stranger Things" (for now) and "The Offer," plus the latest on "Ms. Marvel," "Obi-Wan Kenobi" and an Off the Menu review of "Rafiki" for Pride month. Join us!

We couldn't imagine discussing "The Godfather" without our dear friend Ben Mankiewicz, so we were thrilled he was able to join us on our midweek Breakfast All Day drop-in. We revisit the Coppola classic for its 50th anniversary, and because we're coming up on the finale of "The Offer" (which we've been recapping on our Patreon). Christy and Alonso also review the Jennifer Lopez documentary "Halftime," which Christy is in (extremely briefly). And in news, we discuss the "Jurassic World Dominion" box office, Jennifer Hudson's EGOT, "Lightyear," Philip Baker Hall, and friend of the show Geoff Swanson, who died unexpectedly last week at just 34. * The extremely cool Grail Moviehouse in the heart of Asheville, NC's River Arts District gets this week's Movie House Shout-Out. They show indies like "Cha Cha Real Smooth," documentaries, and they're playing the annual Cat Video Fest starting June 24. To learn more about their programming or become a donor, you can find them here. Thanks to the Grail Moviehouse for helping spread the word on the work we're doing to support indie theaters!

It's time for more stomping and chomping on Breakfast All Day as we review "Jurassic World Dominion," supposedly the final film in the franchise. But as Jeff Goldblum likes to say, "Life finds a way," so who knows? Alonso and Christy also have a bunch of news for you, including Britney Spears getting married, the trailer for "Black Adam," the JLo documentary "Halftime" opening the Tribeca Film Festival (and we'll have a full review on Tuesday), Julia Garner playing Madonna and Rebel Wilson coming out. And we've got a ton of great stuff over at our Patreon: "Stranger Things," "Ms. Marvel," "Obi-Wan Kenobi," "The Offer" and a recap of "Heartstopper" season 1. Plus: We now have merch! Hoodies, T-shirts, doggy neckerchiefs and — of course — Breakfast All Day coffee mugs. Shop here at and show the world you have good taste in movies, too.

We're your cool rider and girl for all seasons on the latest Breakfast All Day. Alonso and Christy revisit the cult classic "Grease 2" on the occasion of its 40th anniversary Blu-Ray release. It's a movie Christy loves dearly with zero irony, and Alonso enjoys enough to indulge her by talking about it. We also review the shockingly great Adam Sandler basketball drama "Hustle," now out on Netflix. And in news, we discuss "Top Gun: Maverick" box office, the "Morbius" re-release, "Jurassic World Dominion" (which we'll have a full review of on Friday), Mariah Carey being sued, "The Northman" on Peacock and more. Hop on and join us!

It's Gnarly Friday here at Breakfast All Day, as Christy and Alonso review the trippy new David Cronenberg thriller "Crimes of the Future" as well as the astounding Indian sensation "RRR." In news, we discuss the Johnny Depp/Amber Heard verdict, Jada Pinkett Smith on The Slap, production beginning on "Furiosa," BTS at The White House, Quentin Tarantino's new podcast, Alonso's viewing of "RRR" at an #encoRRRe screening and more. And we've got a ton of great stuff for you over at our Patreon: recaps of "Stranger Things" episodes 3 and 4, plus the latest on "Obi-Wan Kenobi" and "The Offer." * Thanks again to the excellent folks at The Loft Cinema in Tucson, AZ, for teaming up with us this week. To learn more about their programming or become a donor, you can find them here.

It's a beautiful day to stay inside with us at Breakfast All Day. In news, Alonso and Christy talk about the surprise release of Bo Burnham's "Inside Outtakes," as well as "Top Gun: Maverick" box office, Kate Bush, Bradley Cooper, Rachel Zegler and more. (Also, we realize in retrospect that "Triangle of Sadness" is a Neon movie, not A24 -- apologies for the error.) We also have an early review of the delightfully raunchy, gay rom-com "Fire Island," which will begin streaming Friday on Hulu. And we do another round of Ask Us Anything, including questions about how we met and became friends, our advice on becoming a film critic, which director we'd teach a college course on and what's the craziest movie we've ever seen. This week's Movie House Shout-Out goes to a particularly rad theater: The Loft Cinema in Tuscon, AZ. You may remember them from our marquee segment when theaters were still closed early in the pandemic.
