Breakfast All Day movie reviews

We'll take up our swords and fight for your honor this week on Breakfast All Day. Our great friend Katie Walsh of Tribune News Service returns to help Christy review Ridley Scott's medieval "Rashomon" tale "The Last Duel." Then, it's just Christy and Alonso for reviews of the sequel "Halloween Kills," the meta movie drama "Bergman Island" and "The Velvet Underground," Todd Haynes' documentary about the influential New York City band. In news, Superman is gay and people are pissed, IATSE film and TV crew members may strike on Monday, transgender Netflix employees and their allies plan a walkout to protest the Dave Chappell special, Timothee Chalamet talks about Armie Hammer (sort of), Jamie Lee Curtis dresses as her mom's iconic "Psycho" role for the "Halloween Kills" red carpet, and Christy discusses the IMAX screening of "Dune" she attended (and we'll have a full review for you this week). Over at our Patreon, we recap episode 5 of "The Morning Show" on Apple TV+. We truly appreciate having you around, so thanks for joining us.

Pour yourself a martini — shaken, not stirred, of course — or whatever your drink of choice may be and settle in for this week's episode of Breakfast All Day. Our great friend Katie Walsh joins Christy to review the new James Bond movie, "No Time to Die," Daniel Craig's fifth and final outing as 007. Then Alonso, Matt and Christy discuss the beautiful and batshit French drama "Titane," "I'm Your Man" starring Dan Stevens as the perfect boyfriend, and "Mass," an actors' showcase about grief and forgiveness. In news, we talk about Kathryn Hahn starring in her own "WandaVision" spin-off, the IATSE union voting in favor of a strike, new vaccination rules for California schools and the city of Los Angeles (including movie theaters), Letitia Wright spreading anti-vax information on the set of "Wakanda Forever," William Shatner going into space on Jeff Bezos' rocket and David Lee Roth retiring from music. And over at our Patreon, we recap the incredible season two finale of "Ted Lasso" as well as the latest episode of "The Morning Show." Thanks so much for joining us as always.

Not sure how it's possible that it's October, but we are here for you and all your fall movie needs on Breakfast All Day. Christy, Matt and Alonso review the "Sopranos" prequel "The Many Saints of Newark," the American remake of the Danish thriller "The Guilty" and a couple of timely documentaries that cover some similar ground: "Controlling Britney Spears" on Hulu and "Britney vs. Spears" on Netflix. In news, Scarlett Johansson settles with Disney over her "Black Widow" lawsuit, a judge suspends Britney Spears' father Jamie as her conservator, wild boars attack Shakira in Barcelona, The Academy Museum opens in L.A., Lori Loughlin returns to work after doing time in the college admissions scandal, and Christy tell the boys about going to see Devo with her husband and son — their first concert since the pandemic began. She also tells them a bit about the IMAX screening she and Nic attended of "Venom: Let There Be Carnage," which we'll have a Marvel Mondays review of next week. And over at our Patreon, we recap this week's crazy episodes of both "Ted Lasso" and "The Morning Show" on Apple TV+. Thanks for joining us!

How do you do, fellow kids? We're just regular high school students like you, here to talk about the latest movies on Breakfast All Day. Christy, Alonso and Matt review the woefully misguided film version of the Tony-winning musical "Dear Evan Hansen" and the mawkish and metaphor-heavy dramedy "The Starling" on Netflix. In news, we discuss Johnny Depp's cancel culture warning, "The View" co-hosts' covid scare, "The Tragedy of Macbeth" opening the New York Film Festival, last weekend's Emmy Awards, groping allegations against CNN's Chris Cuomo, Cassandra Peterson (better known as Elvira) coming out in her new memoir, our friend Tim Grierson's fun article about actors who are too old to play teenagers, and we look back at the talented folks we lost this week: Melvin Van Peebles, Roger Michell and Willie Garson. And over at our Patreon, we recap this week's episodes of "Ted Lasso" and "The Morning Show" on Apple TV+, and revisit Wes Anderson's "Rushmore" — one of Christy's favorite movies ever — for September's Off the Menu selection. We wrote a hit podcast, so join us!

Well, gosh, of course we had to get all gussied up for ya this week on Breakfast All Day. Christy, Alonso and Matt review "The Eyes of Tammy Faye," in which Jessica Chastain goes all out to play the flamboyant televangelist Tammy Faye Bakker. We also discuss Clint Eastwood's latest film in front of and behind the camera, "Cry Macho," and we had to catch up with James Wan's "Malignant," because so many of you raved about how wild it is (and you were right). In news, we talk about Nicki Minaj's cousin's friend's swollen testicles, Norm Macdonald dying of cancer at 61, California Gov. Gavin Newsom surviving a recall attempt, Ken Jennings and Mayim Bialik hosting "Jeopardy!" for the rest of the year, Britney Spears getting engaged and Christopher Nolan leaving Warner Bros. after 19 years for Universal. And over at our Patreon, we recap this week's homage to "After Hours" on "Ted Lasso," and we return to "The Morning Show," which begins its second season. Thanks so much for joining us on this last weekend of summer!

It's been a couple of months, but we're back with another Marvel Mondays episode on Breakfast All Day. This time, Christy and Nic play catch-up with "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings," which has been out for a couple of weekends so we do get spoilery. You've been warned! Nic loved how strange and cool Destin Daniel Cretton's movie is. We discuss the incredible action sequences, the beautiful choreography, what a scene-stealer Awkwafina is and the strong performances from a cast of legends including Tony Leung and Michelle Yeoh. And because we had to see it at a matinee, we also talk about the pros and cons of watching a movie in a theater vs. streaming at home. Let us know what you thought of "Shang-Chi," and thanks as always for joining us!

It's finally starting to feel like fall, from film festivals to kids returning to school (and hopefully getting vaccinated if they're old enough), and we're here with all the reviews and news for you on Breakfast All Day. Christy, Alonso and Matt discuss the Zoom-era charmer "Language Lessons," the documentary "Fauci," Paul Schrader's latest "The Card Counter," and "Come From Away," the joyous filmed production of the celebrated Broadway musical. And in a very different kind of segment — which we'll do again if you guys like it — we revisit the truly bonkers David Bowie puppet musical "Labyrinth," which is having a Fathom Events re-release for its 35th anniversary. In news, we discuss the heartbreaking death of Michael K. Williams at just 54, the Toronto and Venice film festivals (and the red carpet return of Bennifer), The White House requiring government employees and contractors to get vaxxed, that deliciously bitchy Los Angeles Times story about Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, "Shang-Chi" star Simu Liu's hilarious stock photo modeling history, the emotional Steve from "Blue's Clues" video and Bob Odenkirk's return to "Better Call Saul" after his heart attack. And over at our Patreon, we recap the latest "Ted Lasso" episode, which was both heartwarming and a gut punch. Thanks for joining us during this jam-packed week, and hope you're healthy and well.

We're so happy to be together again on Breakfast All Day. We took a couple weeks off at the end of summer, but Christy, Matt and Alonso are back with reviews of the musical "Cinderella," the horror sequel "Candyman," Addison Rae's rom-com remake "He's All That," and "Swan Song," with its lovely lead performance from Udo Kier. In news, we talk about what we've been up to over vacation, the Telluride and Venice film festivals, the opening this week of "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the 10 Rings" (and why none of us has seen it), Patty Jenkins' streaming comments, Miles Teller's covid infection, new release dates for several big movies (including "Top Gun: Maverick"), the fake Keanu Reeves scam and the death of the great Ed Asner at 91. And over at our Patreon, we recap the last three episodes of "Ted Lasso," which go into far deeper emotional territory than we ever could have imagined. So kick off your glass slippers and join us over this long holiday weekend.

We're delighted to have our great friend Tim Grierson come back and hang out on this week's Breakfast All Day. Tim joins Christy, Alonso and Matt to review Ryan Reynolds' video game comedy "Free Guy," the by-the-numbers Aretha Franklin biopic "Respect," and the feel-good Sundance favorite "CODA." In news, we discuss how we feel about going back to screenings in person, Marvel's latest "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the 10 Rings" only opening theatrically, Jamie Spears saying he'll step down from Britney's conservatorship, Mike Richards confirmed as "Jeopardy!" host (with some help from Mayim Bialik), Rachel Maddow possibly leaving MSNBC, Chet Hanks going on an anti-vax rant and Chrissy Teigen trying to sell us french fry dipping sauce. And over at our Patreon, we recap the Christmas episode of "Ted Lasso" and revisit "From Here to Eternity," August's Off the Menu selection. Come romp in the waves with us! And come back in a couple of weeks — we're taking off until September. Enjoy the rest of your summer.

Your favorite criminal superheroes are back on Breakfast All Day. This week, Christy, Matt and Alonso review James Gunn's gory extravaganza "The Suicide Squad," Leos Carax's musical fantasia "Annette," the Netflix documentary "Pray Away," and the animated "Vivo," in case you haven't had enough Lin-Manuel Miranda. In news, we talk about possible Golden Globe changes, "Stranger Things" season 4, Mike Richards as likely "Jeopardy!" host, a $900 million deal for more "South Park" episodes and movies, Kathy Griffin recovering from cancer surgery, and Jake Gyllenhaal being the latest celebrity to announce he doesn't shower much.
