Episode 375: Movie News, Elemental review
Grab yourself some popcorn and a drink and join us for our review of "Elemental." We both really liked the latest from Pixar on the latest episode of Breakfast All Day -- it's gorgeous and very entertaining -- even if it doesn't reach the heights of the animation company's greatest films. In movie news, we discuss the loss of a few greats in their industries: actress Glenda Jackson, author Cormac McCarthy and comic artist John Romita Sr. Also: the Netflix "Wham!" documentary trailer, and the possibility of Sarah Polley directing a live-action "Bambi" for Disney. Over at our Patreon, we review Celine Sciamma's 2011 drama "Tomboy" for June's Off the Menu selection. And be sure to visit our YouTube channel on Wednesday, June 21 at 10 am PDT for LIVE spoiler chat about "The Flash" and any other summer movies you'd like to discuss. Thanks as always for hanging out with us!

Episode 374: Movie News, Asteroid City review
We've packed up the station wagon and we're ready for a road trip to "Asteroid City." Alonso and Christy have very different thoughts on the latest from writer-director Wes Anderson, but we agree that the cast is terrific and the cinematography and production design are sublime. It opens in New York and Los Angeles June 16 before going wider the following week. And in our news segment, we remember Treat Williams and discuss box office, "The French Connection," Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's winery dispute and more. Thanks for listening to the latest episode of Breakfast All Day!

Episode 373: Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, Flamin' Hot
We, too, are more than meets the eye here at Breakfast All Day. On our latest episode, we have a review of "Transformers: Rise of the Beasts," which we were surprised to find we kinda liked. It isn't quite as good as 2018's "Bumblebee," but it's better than the Michael Bay movies. We also sink our teeth into "Flamin' Hot," Eva Longoria's Flamin' Hot Cheetos origin story, which is streaming on both Disney+ and Hulu. Grab yourself a bowl of something salty and spicy and join us! And thanks for being here.

We're coming at you so fast on the latest Breakfast All Day, you can't even see us. "The Flash" doesn't come out until June 16, but we have an early, spoiler-free review of the latest DC Studios superhero extravaganza. Also, our great friend William Bibbiani -- better known as Bibbs -- helps out with a catch-up review of "The Boogeyman," based on the Stephen King short story. And in news, "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" box office, Elliot Page's memoir, and a Movie House Shout-Out for the fantastic folks at Vidiots, which just re-opened in the Eagle Rock section of Los Angeles.

Episode 371: Movie News, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (NO Spoilers!), Past Lives
It's an incredible week at the movies, thanks to two extremely different new releases. First on Breakfast All Day, we have a spoiler-free review of "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse," a spectacular sequel that manages to surpass the Oscar-winning original. We also have a rave for "Past Lives," a delicate and melancholy romance from first-time writer-director Celine Song. They'll probably both end up being among the best films of the year. In news, we discuss Dwayne Johnson, Kim Cattrall, Kenneth Anger, "Oppenheimer" and more. And over at our Patreon, we have recaps of the "Ted Lasso" finale and episodes 7 and 8 on season 3 of "The Great." Thanks for starting your summer with us!

Episode 370: Reality Movie Review, Succession Series Finale Recap With Dr. Ramani
We're just staring out at the water, thinking about how sad we are that "Succession" is over after four seasons. Christy recaps the incredible series finale with insights from the brilliant Dr. Ramani, a narcissism expert who's been analyzing the HBO show all season long on her YouTube channel. Spoilers, obviously, but this was a great conversation so we hope you enjoy it. Also on the latest Breakfast All Day, Alonso and Christy review "Reality," an HBO Original drama starring Sydney Sweeney as whistleblower Reality Winner. And over on our Patreon, we revisit the classic film noir "The Third Man" for May's Off the Menu. Thanks for joining us!

We pay tribute to the legendary Tina Turner this week on Breakfast All Day, not just as the electrifying Queen of Rock and Roll but also as a striking screen presence. Also in news: the "Succession" series finale, the latest on the Writers Guild strike, and "The Brady Bunch" house, which is for sale for just $5.5 million. Plus, we review "You Hurt My Feelings," the excellent new comedy from writer-director Nicole Holofcener. And over on our Patreon, we recap the penultimate episode of "Ted Lasso," as well as episodes 5 and 6 of "The Great" season 3. Thanks for spending time with us over the holiday weekend!
