Breakfast All Day movie reviews

Millie Bobby Brown gives a radiant lead performance in "Enola Holmes," one of several movies we review this week on Breakfast All Day. Besides the Netflix adventure, Christy, Matt and Alonso discuss Miranda July's latest, the strange, sweet and singular "Kajillionaire," and "Misbehaviour," based on the true story of the feminist rebellion that shook the 1970 Miss World Pageant. In news, we remember the life and legacy of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and discuss two recent movies about her: "RBG" and "On the Basis of Sex." Also: new release dates for "Black Widow" and "West Side Story," Alamo Drafthouse's effort to get folks back in the theater, the Emmys and Vin Diesel's bizarre attempt at a music career. And over at our Patreon, we recap the latest episodes of HBO's "Lovecraft Country" (which was amazing) and "The Vow," and we revisit the 1969 James Bond film "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" in honor of the late Diana Rigg. We hope you're doing well, and thanks as always for joining us.

It's a week of heavy emotions on Breakfast All Day — and we recorded this episode before the tragic news broke of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's passing. But Christy, Alonso and Matt do have film reviews for you of the ambitious but deeply misguided "Antebellum," the sprawling, Southern Netflix drama "The Devil All the Time," the powerfully acted "The Nest" (which will end up being one of the best movies of the year) and the documentary "The Way I See It," about former official White House photographer Pete Souza. In news, we discuss the "Cuties" controversy (and Christy has a quick review of the film), Chris Evans' leaked dick pic and the star-studded "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" table read. And over at our Patreon, we recap episode 5 of "Lovecraft Country" (which was excellent) and episode 4 of "The Vow," both on HBO. Hope you're all hanging in there, and thanks as always for hanging out with us for a little while.

The world is on fire — literally — but we're here to protect you, or at least distract you, at Breakfast All Day. On our latest episode, Matt, Alonso and Christy review the completely charming romantic comedy "The Broken Hearts Gallery," the Helen Reddy biopic "I Am Woman," the enlightening documentary "The Sit-In: Harry Belafonte Hosts The Tonight Show," and "Unpregnant," which is sort of a comic version of "Never Rarely Sometimes Always." But it works! (And we love the fact that women directed all four movies we reviewed this week.) In news, Christy tells the guys about her trip to see "Tenet," and we discuss the Toronto International Film Festival and the Academy's new diversity requirements for best-picture contenders. And over at our Patreon, we recap the latest episodes of "Lovecraft Country" and "The Vow" on HBO. Stay safe, and thanks for staying with us.

The thrilling "Mulan" should have been a huge summer blockbuster in the theaters; now, you can watch it at home on Disney+, and we have a Breakfast All Day review. Alonso, Matt and Christy also talk about the latest mind-bending drama from writer-director Charlie Kaufman, "I'm Thinking of Ending Things"; Armando Iannucci's take on Dickens with "The Personal History of David Copperfield"; and "Lingua Franca," a lovely indie drama from transgender writer-director-star Isabel Sandoval. In news, we remember the great Chadwick Boseman, whose death from colon cancer shocked the world last week, and the guys and Christy debate whether she should drive to San Diego County to see "Tenet." And over at our Patreon, we recap the latest episodes of "Lovecraft Country" and "The Vow" on HBO. Things are heating up as summer comes to an end, so join us!

It's Bill and Ted and Phineas and Ferb to the rescue, just when we need them most, on Breakfast All Day. Christy, Alonso and Matt review a couple of movies this week that have an infectious joy and an underlying sweetness, but you'll probably appreciate them more if you're already a fan: "Bill & Ted Face the Music," which reunites Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter as those most bodacious dudes, and "Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Candace Against the Universe," a feature-length version of the hilarious, animated Disney Channel series. We also have an eventful news segment, including pro athletes protesting police brutality, the release of "Tenet" (finally) and Jim Gaffigan proclaiming himself as part of the #Resistance. And over at our Patreon, we recap episode two of the excellent "Lovecraft Country" and we start in on "The Vow," the docuseries about the NXIVM sex cult, both on HBO. Be excellent to each other, and party on, dudes.

We missed you guys so much while we were gone last week, but we wish we had better movies for you on the latest Breakfast All Day. Matt, Alonso and Christy review "The One and Only Ivan" on Disney+, Russell Crowe's B-movie thriller "Unhinged," the inventive biopic "Tesla" (the one movie we did enjoy this week) and "Train to Busan Presdents: Peninsula," a sorta-sequel to the 2016 Korean zombie movie. We have lots of news to catch up on, including the re-opening of movie theaters after the coronavirus shut them down more than five months ago. And over at our Patreon, we recap the first episode of the excellent new HBO series "Lovecraft Country," and Alonso and Matt review "Wedding Every Weekend," a groundbreaking Hallmark Channel movie (which we realize sounds like an oxymoron). These are indeed the dog days, but at least we have each other. Thanks for sticking with us, and hope you're doing well.

Come a little closer … we've got a secret (or two) we want to share with you on this week's Breakfast All Day Podcast. Alonso, Matt and Christy review "The Secret: Dare to Dream" as well as "The Secret Garden." But first! We talk about Seth Rogen and Seth Rogen in "An American Pickle," as well as the existential drama "She Dies Tomorrow," which feels extremely relevant today. We've got a ton of news, including the arrival of "Mulan" on Disney+ next month and plans for a shortened Sundance Film Festival next year. And over at our Patreon, we review the Olivia de Havilland film our subscribers chose for us — "The Adventures of Robin Hood" — in this month's Off the Menu segment. We're taking next week off for a variety of reasons, but we look forward to seeing you again on Aug. 21. Until then, be well.

It's a big week for badass women in the music industry on Breakfast All Day. Christy, Alonso and Matt review Beyonce's staggeringly beautiful visual concept album "Black Is King," available for streaming on Disney+, as well as the Showtime documentary 'The Go-Go's," which is a complete blast in celebrating the trailblazing '80s band. We also talk about "The Fight," a documentary that follows several ACLU lawyers as they take on civil rights cases with huge stakes, and the wartime lesbian romance "Summerland," which is a tasteful, take-your-mom movie. We've got a ton of news for you, including movie theaters opening internationally, baseball shutting down in the United States and the deaths of Olivia de Havilland and Regis Philbin. And over at our Patreon, we review the experimental horror movie "Host," which was shot entirely over Zoom during quarantine. Thanks for hanging out with us as we enter August (!!!) and hope you're doing well.

Hope springs eternal with the start of baseball season, but we're still stuck in the on-deck circle when it comes to movie theaters openings. We talk about all of this and so much more on this week's Breakfast All Day. Following a jam-packed news segment, Alonso, Matt and Christy review Dave Franco's indie thriller "The Rental," the always great Rosamund Pike in the so-so Marie Curie biopic "Radioactive," and "Yes, God, Yes," a sweetly raunchy coming-of-age comedy starring Natalia Dyer. And over at our Patreon, we recap the last two episodes of "Love, Victor" on Hulu. Thanks for spending part of your summer with us, and hope you're hanging in there.

Spend a torrid evening with us at Breakfast All Day — we promise you won't regret it. This week, Matt, Alonso and Christy review the Netflix romantic thriller "Fatal Affair," which wasn't nearly as insane as we'd hoped; the Gothic lesbian romance "Carmilla," which we dug; and we play catch-up with Kelly Reichardt's re-released "First Cow," which had its theatrical run interrupted by the coronavirus. It's surely one of the best movies of this weird year, so thankfully it's available now for streaming. In news, we talk about the many cancellations and closures the pandemic has caused, including the Rose Bowl Parade, the Telluride Film Festival, California schools and Chuck Woolery's Twitter feed. And over at our Patreon, we recap episodes 7-8 of Hulu's "Love, Victor" (which is finally getting good) and we review Joel Schumacher's 1990 thriller "Flatliners," this month's Off the Menu selection. Thanks as always for joining us as we enter the fifth month of this madness — hope you're hanging in there.
