Episode 262: Movie News, 7 Days, Ask Us Anything!
You've got questions, we've got answers, in our first Breakfast All Day Ask Us Anything! We asked you guys to send us questions on our YouTube community page and got such an overwhelming response, we were only able to get to a fraction of them (including one about "Showgirls"), but we'll do more, we promise. Alonso and Christy also review the charming indie rom-com "7 Days," which won the Spirit Award for best first feature earlier this year. In news, we discuss "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse," Jerry West, box office, Elon Musk buying Twitter, Viola Davis and more. And over at our Patreon, we recap the first three episodes of the "Godfather" behind-the-scenes saga "The Offer" on Paramount+, which we're not sure about yet. Thanks for sharing some of your time with us this week.

Episode 261: Movie News, The Northman, Petite Maman
We will avenge you this week on Breakfast All Day with a review of one of the most anticipated films in a while. Christy and Alonso rave about "The Northman," the latest trippy saga from director and co-writer Robert Eggers. We also review "Petite Maman," Celine Sciamma'a deeply moving French gem, which was one of our favorite movies of 2021 and is finally in theaters. In news, we discuss CNN+, Jerry West, Johnny Depp (again), Ezra Miller (again), George Michael and "Grease 2." And over at our Patreon, we recap episode 4 of "Moon Knight," which was finally good! Let us know your thoughts on all of this, and thanks for sharing some of your time with us.

Episode 259: Movie News, Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, Dual
The third "Fantastic Beasts" movie is out, but will there be a fourth and fifth as planned? Our mixed review reflects how not everyone is fully under the spell of this "Harry Potter" spinoff. The engaging and insightful Perri Nemiroff joins Christy to discuss "Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore." (You can find her YouTube channel here.) Also, Alonso and Christy review the darkly comic thriller "Dual," starring Karen Gillan and … Karen Gillan. In news, we remember Gilbert Gottfried and talk Cannes, Coachella, the JLo documentary, Cuba Gooding Jr., Bam Margera and more.

Episode 258: Movie News, Everything Everywhere All at Once RE-review, X
We've got breaking news and catch-up reviews for you on our midweek edition of Breakfast All Day. Alonso finally saw "Everything Everywhere All at Once" and had very different thoughts on it from the review Christy and Katie Walsh did a few weeks ago, so he chimes in with a rare re-review. By popular demand, we review Ti West's '70s horror homage "X." In news, we discuss the "Stranger Things" season 4 trailer, the Bennifer engagement, Britney Spears' pregnancy, "Sonic 2" box office and more. And over at our Patreon, we recap episodes 5 and 6 of "Bridgerton," where things are finally getting exciting. Plus, we're doing the first of our Movie House Shout-Outs.
