Breakfast All Day movie reviews

Time is a flat circle, which means you get a Breakfast All Day episode on a Tuesday. We're trying some new things lately, including mixing in mid-week news, reviews and DVD recommendations. Christy and Alonso catch up with Steven Soderbergh's high-tech thriller "Kimi," which is streaming on HBO Max, and we have some DVD recommendations for you including "Eternals" and a 4K of "Looper." And in news, we discuss the Oscars announcing they'll recognize a "most-popular" movie viewers can vote on, Super Bowl ads, Bob Saget conspiracy theories, the death of Ivan Reitman at 75 and more. Be sure to come back on Friday when we'll have reviews of "Uncharted" and "Dog," plus all our TV recaps on our Patreon. Let us know what you'd like to see more or less of, and thanks as always for joining us.

It's Valentine's Day Weekend AND Super Bowl Weekend, and we've got something for whatever you're into on Breakfast All Day. Katie Walsh is back to join Christy for a review of Kenneth Branagh's star-studded (and troubled) version of "Death on the Nile." And Alonso and Christy review a couple of rom-coms: Jennifer Lopez and Owen Wilson in "Marry Me" and Jenny Slate and Charlie Day in "I Want You Back." In news, we talk Oscar and Razzie nominations, the Super Bowl, the "Jurassic World: Dominion" trailer, the future of "Futurama" and #Bendergate, Steven Soderbergh, Brene Brown, Leslie Jones and more. And over at our Patreon, we have a ridiculous amount of TV to recap: "The Book of Boba Fett" finale, plus new episodes of "Peacemaker," "Pam & Tommy" and "The Gilded Age." Buy yourself some chocolate whether you're in love or not, and thanks for hanging out with us.

It's Hollywood's biggest morning — the 2022 Oscar nominations — so we had to post a special Tuesday episode to cover all the highs, lows, surprises and disappointments. Our great friend, Los Angeles Times awards expert Glenn Whipp, joins us to share his perspective. "The Power of the Dog" leads all nominees with 12, followed by "Dune" with 10. What were you happy to see get nominated? What do you hope will win? Let us know. (Also, quick correction, "Licorice Pizza" is NOT streaming yet. Apologies.) Christy and Alonso also have a timely segment on new DVD releases, including three films that got multiple nominations today: "Belfast," "King Richard" and "Encanto." We don't talk about Bruno, but we do talk about movies, and we're happy to have you join us.

Hi, we're Breakfast All Day, and this is … a new episode of our podcast. This week, our dear friend Katie Walsh joins Christy to review the panoply of pain that is "Jackass Forever." We also talk about the disaster epic "Moonfall," which is extremely stupid, and yet, not stupid enough. In news, Alonso and Christy discuss BAFTA nominations, "Knives Out 2," the Spotify exodus, Spike Lee's documentary series on Colin Kaepernick, Whoopi Goldberg, Rudy Giuliani, Howard Hesseman, and the Wordle guy selling his game to the NY Times for low seven figures. And over at our Patreon, we have a mind-blowing array of recaps: "The Book of Boba Fett," "Peacemaker," "The Gilded Age," and the first three episodes of "Pam & Tommy." Thanks as always for joining us!

Rock and roll can never die here at Breakfast All Day. This week, Christy and Alonso review the understated yet powerful teen drama "The Fallout" on HBO Max, the enigmatic "Sundown" starring Tim Roth and Charlotte Gainsbourg, and we have an early review of Norway's "The Worst Person in the World," one of Alonso's favorite movies of 2021, which comes out Feb. 4. In news: awards season takes shape with nominations from the Directors, Producers and Writers guilds. Plus! So many beefs: Neil Young vs. Spotify, Evangeline Lilly vs. vaccine mandates, Taylor Swift vs. Damon Albarn, Morrissey vs. Johnny Marr, and Peter Dinklage vs. "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves." And lots of great stuff over at our Patreon: recaps of this week's "The Book of Boba Fett" (which was finally good!), episodes 4 and 5 of "Peacemaker," and the debut of "The Gilded Age," the latest sophisticated soap opera from "Downton Abbey" creator Julian Fellowes. Cross the street and gossip with us — we won't tell anyone — and thanks as always for listening.

It's January, and the pickings are slim at the movie theater, but we've found some quality nuggets for you here at Breakfast All Day. This week, Christy and Alonso play catch-up with a few movies we've been meaning to discuss: Marvel's thrilling "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings," which is streaming on Disney+; Asghar Farhadi's gripping drama "A Hero," which has been in theaters and is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video; and the inventive, animated documentary "Flee," which expands to more theaters this weekend. In news, we talk about the deaths of Meat Loaf, Louis Anderson and Andre Leon Talley, as well as the legendary Marty from Marty and Elayne at the Dresden, an extremely L.A. entertainer. Also: Sundance has begun virtually, Joss Whedon talks to New York Magazine, the M&M characters get a makeover, "We Don't Talk About Bruno" from "Encanto" is a huge hit, Adele postpones her Las Vegas residency and Adam Rippon marries his boyfriend. And we've got a ton of stuff on our Patreon: recaps of this week's "The Book of Boba Fett" on Disney+ as well as the first three episodes of "Peacemaker" on HBO Max, and a bonus Off the Menu review of 1967's "In the Heat of the Night," the Sidney Poitier film our subscribers chose for us. Enjoy, and thanks as always for joining us.

Do you like scary movies? We've got one for you this week on Breakfast All Day, as Katie Walsh joins Christy to review the new "Scream," the fifth film in the meta horror franchise. Also, Alonso finally watched "Eternals," so we catch up with Chloe Zhao's Marvel entry, and we review the animated "Hotel Transylvania: Transformania," the rare movie that has us extremely divided. In news, we discuss Bob Saget, Ronnie Spector, the Golden Globes, the Screen Actors Guild nominations, season three announcements for both "The Great" and "The Morning Show," Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet divorcing, and O.G. "American Idol" finalist Clay Aiken running for Congress, again. And over at our Patreon, we recap this week's episode of "The Book of Boba Fett" (which we're not really feeling yet) and revisit the delightfully zany "What's Up, Doc?" the Peter Bogdanovich movie our subscribers chose for the latest Off the Menu selection. Don't answer the phone! Listen to our podcast instead. And thanks for joining us.

Happy 2022! Things may seem uncertain so far, but we're here for you no matter what on Breakfast All Day. Our dear friend and O.G. "What the Flick?!" co-host Ben Mankiewicz joins us to share his insights on a couple of bits of sad news: the deaths of Peter Bogdanovich and Sidney Poitier. Also in news: the many cancellations/postponements/virtual versions this new covid surge has caused, including the Sundance Film Festival, the Honorary Oscars, the Westminster Dog Show and "Morbius" (again). Plus: we remember the great Betty White and marvel at the billion-dollar box office of "Spider-Man: No Way Home." We couldn't start the new year without looking back at the best and worst movies of 2021. For new reviews, Alonso and Christy discuss "The 355," "The Tender Bar," and "Drive My Car," the LA Film Critics Association's pick for best picture. And for our Patreon subscribers, we recap the first two episodes of "The Book of Boba Fett" on Disney+. It's a lot! So grab a cup of tea and a warm blanket and cozy up with our soothing podcast tones. Thanks so much for joining us.

We couldn't let the year end without one final Marvel Monday episode of Breakfast All Day. Christy and Nic have a lengthy discussion about "Spider-Man: No Way Home," which we both loved — so it's kinda like she made her kid do work over winter break, but not really. We talk about how nuts our theater went at the many revelations, the interplay between the various characters, the film's notions about the possibility of rehabilitation in a world of good vs. evil, Aunt May's fate, how terrifying Willem Dafoe is, whether "No Way Home" should be a contender for the best-picture Oscar and the many Easter eggs along the way. Thanks so much for supporting our little Marvel series — we've had so much fun doing it, and we hope we've brought you a little joy this year. Here's to a happier and healthier 2022!

We're back in the Matrix this week on Breakfast All Day — but did we ever really leave? Christy and Alonso review "The Matrix Resurrections," the fourth film in the franchise, on this final episode of 2021. We also review Joel Coen's avant-garde "The Tragedy of Macbeth" and Pedro Almodovar's excellent "Parallel Mothers." And at the end, we have a lengthy spoiler discussion of "Spider-Man: No Way Home," now that it's been out for several days and folks have had a chance to see it (but if you want to avoid this, the show ends at the 55-minute mark). In news, we discuss Spidey's record-breaking opening at the box office, more Chris Noth fallout, LA Film Critics Association winners, Oscar shortlists in several categories, that first-person Variety story on Bryan Singer and more. And for our Patreon friends, we recap the thrilling finale of "Hawkeye" on Disney+ and discuss the December Off the Menu film you chose for us, Ingmar Bergman's Oscar-winning "Fanny and Alexander." We're so thankful to you all for spending some of your time with us during this tumultuous year. Enjoy the holidays and we'll see you in a happier, healthier 2022!
