Breakfast All Day movie reviews

We're heading into fall with the help of some of our favorite critics here at Breakfast All Day. William Bibbiani shares his horror insights on a review on "The Nun II," the latest installment in The Conjuring Universe. Alonso's husband, Dave White, steps in to talk about "My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3," which inspires one of our biggest disagreements ever. Plus: Alonso is back from the Venice Film Festival with a recap in our news segment of several of the movies he saw, including "Poor Things," "Priscilla," "Maestro" and "Ferrari." For our latest "Was It Great or Were 8?" review, we revisit the 1976 dystopian thriller "Logan's Run." And over at our Patreon, we catch up on the past couple weeks of "Ahsoka" and "Only Murders in the Building." Thanks so much for hanging out with all of us!

Summer may be over, but we still have some equalizin' to do here at Breakfast All Day. Our great friend Tim Grierson helps out with a review of "The Equalizer 3," which finds Denzel Washington righting wrongs when the Mafia terrorizes an Italian village. And Alonso's husband, Dave White, steps in for a couple of reviews while Alonso's away covering the Venice Film Festival: the surprisingly charming Netflix comedy "You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah," and the bland Hilary Swank drama "The Good Mother," in theaters now. Enjoy the long holiday weekend, and check back next week for the latest installment in our "Was It Great or Were You 8?" series. Thanks for spending some of your time with us!

We laughed our asses off at "Bottoms," a delightfully nutty indie comedy that's in theaters now. Alonso and Christy have a rave review of the film, starring real-life longtime friends Rachel Sennott and Ayo Edebiri as misfit lesbian teens who start an after-school fight club to hook up with cheerleaders. We also have a quick news segment, including "Dune: Part Two" getting pushed to March 2024 and trailers for "Cat Person," "Flora and Son" and more. Thanks for hanging out with us as summer comes to a close here at Breakfast All Day!

We can't imagine reviewing "Gran Turismo" without our old friend Matt Atchity. He returns to Breakfast All Day this week to share his expertise on video games, and cars, and video games about cars. The Neill Blomkamp action film tells the true story of gamer-turned-racer Jann Mardenborough, and it's surprisingly really good. Also, Alonso and Christy catch up with some movie news, including the trailer for Zack Snyder's two-part "Rebel Moon" on Netflix, "Blue Beetle" box office and Britney Spears' divorce. And over at our Patreon, we revisit Ruben Ostlund's "Force Majeure" from 2014 for our August Off the Menu, and recap this week's "Only Murders in the Building" episode. Thanks for joining us!

Summer's ending and we're here for the random array of movies that come around this time of year on Breakfast All Day. Our great friend Tim Grierson from Screen International helps out with a couple of reviews: "Blue Beetle," the latest superhero origin story from DC Studios, and "Strays," an extremely R-rated talking dog comedy. Then Alonso and Christy review "Oldboy" (2003), Park Chan-wook's twisted and tragic noir, which is back in theaters in a 4K remaster. And over at our Patreon, we recap episodes 5 and 6 of the latest "Heartstopper" season on Netflix. Thanks for sharing some of your time with us!

It's been a great way to get to know you guys better. Enjoy the rest of your summer, and thanks for spending part of it with us!

It's a mixed bag on this mid-August episode of Breakfast All Day. We review the horror movie "The Last Voyage of the Demeter," which really should have been called "Vampire Boat." It's in theaters now and it's not good. We also discuss the gay rom-com "Red, White & Royal Blue," based on the best-selling novel. It's streaming on Prime Video and it's very good. In news, we talk about "Wonder Woman 3," the Primetime Emmys moving to January, Robbie Robertson of The Band and more. And over at our Patreon, we recap episodes 3 and 4 of the new season of "Heartstopper" on Netflix. Thanks for being here! Make sure you join us for our LIVE Ask Us Anything!

Have you seen "They Cloned Tyrone"? It's this trippy sci-fi/comedy that upends blaxploitation tropes and keeps you guessing the whole way through. We have a spoiler-free catch-up review of the Netflix film, starring a terrific John Boyega, Teyonah Parris and Jamie Foxx, on the latest Breakfast All Day. In news, we remember the legendary director William Friedkin ("The Exorcist," "The French Connection"), who died at 87. Plus we discuss "Barbie" crossing the billion-dollar mark worldwide, Mr. Beast's burger lawsuit, and the passing of "Breaking Bad" and "Better Call Saul" actor Mark Margolis. And for our Patreon subscribers, we recap the first two episodes of "Only Murders in the Building" season 3 on Hulu. It's great to be back at the Arconia! Thanks for hanging out with us.

Surely, if anyone can save us from rampaging megalodons, it's Jason Statham on a Jet-Ski. At least that's the point of "Meg 2: The Trench," which takes way too long to get going. We have a review of this surprisingly dull late-summer sequel on Breakfast All Day. We also review the indie rom-com "Shortcomings," Randall Park's feature directorial debut, starring Justin H. Min, Sherry Cola and Ally Maki. Plus the always brilliant Katie Walsh helps out with a catch-up review of the Australian horror movie "Talk to Me." In news, we have a bunch of corrections -- sometimes, we get things wrong! --plus Pedro Almodovar and Weird Barbie. And for our Patreon subscribers, we recap the first two episodes of "Heartstopper" season 2 on Netflix, which is as charming as ever. Come on in, the water's fine!

So great to be back with you again after traveling for much of July! But we wish we had happier news to share here at Breakfast All Day. Among the topics Alonso and Christy discuss in movie news are the deaths of Paul Reubens, Sinead O'Connor and Angus Cloud. Also: the latest in Barbenheimer box office, the writers' and actors' strikes, and the "Loki" season 2 trailer. Plus we have a review of the animated comedy "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem," which is shockingly pretty great. Be on the lookout for reviews of "Talk to Me" and "Meg 2: The Trench" later this week. Thanks as always for sharing your time with us, and hope you're keeping cool!
