Episode 355: Movie News, Renfield, A Thousand and One (With Dave White)
Sink your teeth into the latest episode of Breakfast All Day. Alonso and Christy review "Renfield," the wildly violent action comedy featuring Nicolas Cage in the role he was born to play: Count Dracula. Alonso's husband, Dave White, steps in to help with a review of the powerful indie drama "A Thousand and One," which we both loved. In news, we discuss the Cannes Film Festival lineup, HBO Max dropping the HBO, Drake Bell, Ryan Reynolds' birthday song for Rob McElhenney, and more. And over at our Patreon, we recap this week's episodes of "The Mandalorian" and "Ted Lasso." Thanks for listening! Be sure to join us next week for a LIVE edition of Ask Us Anything! We'll be at our YouTube channel at Noon PDT on Wednesday, April 19 and we'd love to see you: https://www.youtube.com/live/sZLnsmwkRBg?feature=share

Episode 354: Movie News, Beau Is Afraid (NO Spoilers!), Tetris, Christy revisits Everything Everywhere All at Once
"Beau Is Afraid" is one of the most anticipated movies of the year, and we're thrilled to bring you an early Breakfast All Day review. No spoilers here as we discuss the three-hour nightmare odyssey from writer-director Ari Aster, but we'll do a more in-depth discussion after the film opens nationwide on April 21. We also catch-up with "Tetris" on Apple TV+, and Christy revisits "Everything Everywhere All at Once" one year and seven Oscars later to see if she feels differently about it. And in news, we discuss all the big Star Wars Celebration announcements, trailers for "The Mother," "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny" and "The Marvels," and more. Thanks as always for sharing some of your time with us.

Episode 353: The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Showing Up
We've got high and low cinema for you on the latest episode of Breakfast All Day. First, we review "The Super Mario Bros. Movie," which is not good, but being a fan of the game probably helps. Then, we discuss the latest from indie film icon Kelly Reichardt, "Showing Up," which marks her fourth collaboration with Michelle Williams. And over at our Patreon, we recap the latest episodes of "The Mandalorian" and "Ted Lasso." No news this time -- we had a weird recording schedule in order to see "Beau Is Afraid," but the good news about that is we'll have a review of Ari Aster's three-hour hellscape exploration on Tuesday. So come on back then!

Episode 352: Movie News, Air, Paint
So much news to catch up on from spring break on the latest Breakfast All Day. A bunch of new trailers came out today, including "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" and "Barbie." We also discuss Gwyneth Paltrow, A.O. Scott, the 10-year anniversary of Roger Ebert's death and more. Plus we have reviews of Ben Affleck's "Air," which is great, and Owen Wilson's "Paint," which is not. And over at our Patreon, we catch up with Chapter 21 of "The Mandalorian." What is even going on with this show? Thanks as always for hanging out with us.

Episode 351: Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, John Wick: Chapter 4 Spoilers, The Return of the Pink Panther (1975): Was It Great or Were You 8?
It's spring break, so Christy's off skiing with her family, but that doesn't mean we're taking a vacation from offering you goodies here at Breakfast All Day. She and Alonso review the action comedy "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves," which is surprisingly fun (and you don't need to play D&D to enjoy it). Also: heavy spoilers for "John Wick: Chapter 4." You've been warned! And for our latest round of Was It Great or Were You 8, Alonso has chosen the 1975 Inspector Clouseau comedy "The Return of the Pink Panther" to determine whether it truly was great, or he just loves it nostalgically. We'll return Tuesday to catch up on news and review "Air." Hope to see you then!

Episode 350: Movie News, A Good Person review
We're nearing the end of this seemingly endless month and we're happy to be doing it with you on Breakfast All Day. It's sort of a quiet week with "John Wick: Chapter 4" expected to dominate -- we reviewed it last week and will have a spoiler discussion for you in the coming days. But we also have a review of writer-director Zach Braff's "A Good Person," a maudlin drama about loss and redemption featuring a typically powerful Florence Pugh performance. In news, we discuss the Gwyneth Paltrow ski crash trial; the video for "Big Shark," Tommy Wiseau's insane follow-up to "The Room"; and the terrible idea of remaking "Vertigo" with Robert Downey Jr. And on our Patreon, we recap this week's episodes of "The Mandalorian" and "Ted Lasso." Thanks as always for spending some of your time with us.

Episode 349: Movie News, Moving On review
We begin our latest episode of Breakfast All Day with some sad news: the death of Lance Reddick. The star of the "John Wick" franchise and "The Wire" was just 60 years old. We also discuss the dismal "Shazam! Fury of the Gods" box office, the trailer for "Joy Ride," Eva Longoria's "Flamin' Hot" movie, the cast of "Ted Lasso" at the White House and more. For reviews, we have "Moving On," a dark buddy comedy that reunites longtime friends and collaborators Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda. And over at our Patreon, we were delighted to revisit John Carney's debut feature "Once" (2007) for our March Off the Menu movie. We're singing your praises and grateful to have you here, as always.

Episode 348: Movie News, John Wick: Chapter 4, Shazam! Fury of the Gods (NO Spoilers!)
The Baba Yaga AND Shazam are back, and we're here for all the excitement on Breakfast All Day. Christy and Alonso have an early review of "John Wick: Chapter 4," which opens March 24. No spoilers here, we promise, but we'll dig into the latest Keanu Reeves action spectacular after folks have had a chance to see it. We also have a spoiler-free review of the DC Universe sequel "Shazam! Fury of the Gods," which we liked better than a lot of critics. In news, we discuss "The Banshees of Inisherin" 8-bit game, the return of "Ted Lasso," A24's restoration of "Stop Making Sense," Demi Lovato's documentary, the death of R&B singer Bobby Caldwell (whose 1978 hit "What You Won't Do For Love" is our opening music) and more. (We learned about Lance Reddick's death after we finished recording; we'll honor his life and career next week.) And for our Patreon subscribers, recaps of the "Ted Lasso" season 3 premiere and the latest on "The Mandalorian." Thanks for joining us!

Episode 347: 2023 Oscar Reactions Live Chat
"Everything Everywhere All at Once" had a huge night at the 2023 Academy Awards, winning seven including best picture and director. And Christy and Alonso had such a great morning talking everything Oscars during our YouTube live chat that we wanted to share the audio here, as well. We had viewers join us from across the United States and as far away as India, Nigeria, Poland, Spain and the Philippines. Thank you! It was so cool hearing a variety of perspectives on the winners, Jimmy Kimmel's hosting, musical performances, fashion and more. Thanks to everyone for spending time with us throughout awards season. Let's do it again next year!

It's Oscar weekend and we're making our final picks on Breakfast All Day. What do you hope to see happen? Tune into the Academy Awards Sunday night, then join us for a LIVE chat the next morning at 9am PDT on our YouTube channel. We also review the big movie of the week, the horror sequel "Scream VI."
