Episode 423: Movie News, Best and Worst Movies of 2023, Night Swim review

We're delighted to be back with you here in 2024! In our first episode of the new year, we share our lists of the best and worst movies of the previous year, with a bit of overlap as well as some fun, unexpected choices. We also have our first review of 2024: "Night Swim," your annual January Blumhouse horror flick. It's better than it looks but it's not as deliriously kooky as "M3GAN."

Episode 422: Movie News, The Color Purple, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom

It's our final episode of 2023, and we're so thrilled that you're here to share it with us. We have a quick hit of movie news, mainly because we wanted to discuss Ryan Gosling's Christmas version of "I'm Just Ken," which just came out this week. We also have reviews of the movie musical "The Color Purple," which is excellent, and the sequel "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom," which is not. And for our Patreon subscribers, a recap of this week's "Fargo" season 5 episode. We are so extremely grateful to all of you for being a part of things at Breakfast All Day.

Episode 421: Christmas Movies Livestream With Alonso!

We love connecting with our viewers through livestreams at Breakfast All Day, and they're especially fun when they give Alonso the chance to share his enthusiasm and knowledge about Christmas movies. We had a great turnout at our YouTube channel Tuesday afternoon, but in case you missed it, here's our conversation in podcast form. Listen along as Christy struggles to figure out why the livestream settings are switched to Members Only off the top -- it's quite dramatic! We'll do another live chat when Oscar nominations are announced on Jan. 23, so mark your calendar and be sure to join usl

Episode 420: The Iron Claw, All of Us Strangers, American Fiction

It's almost the end of the year, and that means major awards contenders are coming to theaters. We review three of them on the latest episode of Breakfast All Day: the star-studded "The Iron Claw," about the tragic Texas wrestling clan the Von Erichs; "All of Us Strangers," a beautifully crafted tale of love and longing starring Andrew Scott ad Paul Mescal; and "American Fiction," a biting satire that features one of the best performances you'll see all year from Jeffrey Wright. All three open Friday, Dec. 22; "American Fiction" goes wider that day. And for our Patreon subscribers, recaps of the finales of "The Gilded Age" and "Fellow Travelers." Thanks for taking us with you as you do your holiday shopping!

Episode 419: Movie News, Ferrari, The Zone of Interest

Mid-December means major awards contenders are in theaters -- at least in New York and Los Angeles, and hopefully somewhere near you soon if you don't live in those cities. On the latest Breakfast All Day, we have reviews of Michael Mann's "Ferrari" (which doesn't even come out until Christmas Day, so we're super early on it) and Jonathan Glazer's "The Zone of Interest," winner of four LA Film Critics awards this past weekend including best picture. In a quick news segment, we remember the late Andre Braugher and discuss the 4K restoration of Francis Ford Coppola's infamous dud "One From the Heart." And for our Patreon subscribers, we recap this week's episode of "Fargo" at the halfway point of season 5.

Episode 418: Movie News, Wonka, Waitress: The Musical

It's a very musical episode of Breakfast All Day! We review "Wonka," the Willy Wonka origin story starring Timothée Chalamet, and we're both surprised at how much we enjoyed it. We also wanted to make sure we discussed "Waitress: The Musical," which is the movie version of the Broadway production of the 2007 indie romance. Its limited theatrical run has been extended through Dec. 21. But first, news: LA Film Critics awards, Golden Globe nominations, the late Norman Lear's career and more. And over at our Patreon, we recap the penultimate episode of both "The Gilded Age" and "Fellow Travelers." Thanks for stopping by! Stay in shape throughout the holidays with CAROL Bike.

Episode 417: Godzilla Minus One, The Boy and the Heron, Origin reviews

Dazzling spectacles abound, both dreamy and nightmarish, on the latest episode of Breakfast All Day. We got such a clamor for a review of "Godzilla Minus One" that we knew we had to catch up with it, and we're so glad we did. Then, we stay in Japan for "The Boy and the Heron," the first film in 10 years from the master animator Hayao Miyazaki, and possibly his last (although he still has his fastball at age 82). Then we wrap up with "Origin," an ambitious and admirable misfire from Ava DuVernay which has lots of big ideas but a clunky structure. And for our Patreon subscribers, we recap episode 4 of this latest "Fargo" seaon on Hulu. We'll be back Tuesday with news, where we'll discuss our LA Film Critics Association year-end vote and the careers of Norman Lear and Ryan O'Neal.

Episode 416: Movie News, Poor Things review

We review the best movie of the year on the latest episode of Breakfast All Day. Christy and Alonso both loved "Poor Things," the latest from Greek auteur Yorgos Lanthimos. And while we realize that it's super boring when we agree, we're both going to end up putting this at the top of our best of 2023 lists. We also catch up on some movie news, including Spirit Award nominations, Beyoncé's "Renaissance" box office, Disney giving up on "The Marvels," and that thrilling "Furiosa" trailer. And over at our Patreon, we recap the latest episodes of "The Gilded Age" and "Fellow Travelers."

Episode 415: Renaissance: A Film By Beyoncé, Eileen reviews

We're getting in formation -- albeit a little late -- for the latest episode of Breakfast All Day. Apologies for keeping you waiting, but we wanted to make sure we had time to see the extravaganza that is "Renaissance: A Film By Beyoncé." The three-hour epic, which Beyoncé wrote, directed and produced, documents her recent world tour on stage and behind the scenes. You will learn more than you ever could have imagined about scaffolding. We also review "Eileen," a sexy, srtylish noir set in 1960s Massachusetts starring Thomasin McKenzie and Anne Hathaway. Both films are in theaters now. And over at our Patreon, we recap this weeks episode of "Fargo" season 5 on Hulu. It was a trip! Thanks for your patience and for sticking with us.
