Episode 344: Movie News, Creed III

Things are looking up so far in March: We've got a positive review and some upbeat news here at Breakfast All Day. Christy and Alonso discuss Michael B. Jordan's dazzling directorial debut, "Creed III," in which he impresses on both sides of the camera. (Christy is higher on it than Alonso, but both enjoyed it.) In news, we discuss the release of De La Soul's music on streaming services for the first time, Chris Pine and Harry Styles, a stage production of "Stranger Things," and a petition to keep AMC Theatres from cutting down the Nicole Kidman promo. Over at our Patreon, we recap the first episode of "The Mandalorian" season 3 as well as the latest on "Poker Face," which may be the best one yet. And make sure to stop by our YouTube channel at Noon PST Tuesday when we'll be doing LIVE Oscar predictions. Print out your ballot here and join us!

Episode 343: Movie News, Jesus Revolution, Fire of Love

"Jesus Revolution" had such a huge opening weekend, we had to review it here on Breakfast All Day. Christy and Alonso were pleasantly surprised by the faith-based drama about the Christian hippie movement in Southern California in the 1970s. We also finally catch up with the spectacular Oscar-nominated documentary "Fire of Love," which was on Christy's top 10 list for 2022. In news, there's so much stupid stuff going on between Woody Harrelson, Mark Wahlberg and Lady Gaga -- but also Screen Actors Guild and Producers Guild awards, as we inch ever closer to Oscar night. And over at our Patreon, we recap episode 7 of "The Last of Us." Joel's not dead! Ellie goes to the mall! Speaking of the Academy Awards, mark your calendars for Noon PST Tuesday, March 7, when we'll do a LIVE chat picking winners in every category. Here's a link to our YouTube Channel. You'll also find a link to a printable ballot there. Look forward to seeing you!

Episode 342: Movie News, Cocaine Bear, We Have a Ghost

"Cocaine Bear" is finally here, and we're here for every insane moment of it on Breakfast All Day. Christy and Alonso review the much-anticipated comic thriller -- which, amazingly, is based on a true story -- and insist that if you're going to see it, you should do so with an audience. We also review "We Have a Ghost" on Netflix, a cheesy haunted house story that wastes a great cast. In news, we discuss the Oscars and SAG Awards, "Succession," Steven Yeun and more. And we've got a couple of goodies on our Patreon: a recap of "Poker Face" episode 8, which may be the best one yet, and a February Off the Menu review of the 2006 romantic comedy "Something New." And if you haven't joined our Patreon yet, now's a great time -- we're doing our first Lunch Date live chat with our subscribers on Monday, Feb. 27 at Noon PST. You can find out more here. We'd love to see you!

Episode 341: Movie News, Living

It's Mardi Gras! But it's always a party around here at Breakfast All Day. Christy and Alonso catch up with Bill Nighy's subtle yet deeply moving performance in "Living," which earned him a long-overdue Oscar nomination for best actor. It's in theaters now. In news, we discuss the Directors Guild and BAFTA awards, box office for "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania," Tom Sizemore, Richard Belzer and more. And over at our Patreon, we recap this week's episode of "The Last of Us" on HBO, which is another emotional doozy. Also: Mark your calendars for Tuesday, March 7 at Noon PST, when we'll do a live Oscar predictions chat on our YouTube channel. Bring your ballots and win your pools! (We'll do our best to help, at least.) Thank you so much for joining us, as always.

Episode 340: Movie News, Sharper, Of an Age

We begin with some exciting news on the latest Breakfast All Day: We hit 5 million views on our YouTube channel! But we also remember the legendary sex symbol Raquel Welch, who died this week at 82. The big movie of the week is "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania," which we reviewed on our previous episode. It's getting pretty negative reviews at 47% on Rotten Tomatoes, but we didn't think it was terrible. As for other new movies, we discuss the twisty thriller "Sharper," which is streaming on Apple TV+, and "Of an Age," a queer romance from Australia. And over at our Patreon, we recap episode 7 of "Poker Face" on Peacock. Thanks for sharing your time with us week after week, we deeply appreciate it.

Episode 339: Movie News, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, You People

We're delighted to have you spend part of your Valentine's Day with us here at Breakfast All Day. Christy and Alonso have an early review of the latest Marvel movie, "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania," which is in theaters this weekend. We also catch up with the Netflix comedy "You People," which we're extremely split on. In news, we discuss all those Super Bowl commercials from over the weekend as well as Rihanna's halftime performance, plus we look ahead to season 3 of "Ted Lasso" on Apple TV+ and the "Bridgerton" prequel "Queen Charlotte" on Netflix. We'll be sure to do recaps on our Patreon once they begin. And speaking of our Patreon, we recap episode 5 of "The Last of Us," which was a journey! Thanks for letting us share some time (and chocolate) with you.

Episode 338: Movie News, Magic Mike's Last Dance, Your Place or Mine

The pickings are slim on Super Bowl Weekend, but we're here to steer you in the right direction on Breakfast All Day if you're looking for a different kind of entertainment. Christy and Alonso review "Magic Mike's Last Dance," which finds Channing Tatum taking the stage one final time at Salma Hayek Pinault's request. We differ on the movie but agree that the dance numbers are spectacular. We also review the extremely bland rom-com "Your Place or Mine," starring Reese Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher, on Netflix. In news, we have a lengthy discussion about songwriting legend Burt Bacharach, who died this week at 94, but somehow forgot to mention that he wrote the theme to the 1958 horror movie "The Blob," this week's opening song. Plus: trailers for "Fast X," "Strays" and "Air." And for our Patreon subscribers, a recap of the latest episode of "Poker Face." Thanks for joining us!

Episode 337: Movie News, To Leslie, Jeanne Dielman

It's Single Mom Day here at Breakfast All Day as we catch up with "To Leslie," the indie drama that earned a surprise Oscar nomination for its ferocious star, Andrea Riseborough. Christy and Alonso also review "Jeanne Dielman," the 1975 film that topped the prestigious, once-a-decade Sight and Sound poll. In news, we discuss "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania," box office, AMC's new seating price plan, the Grammys, Armie Hammer and more. And over at our Patreon, we recap episode 4 of "The Last of Us" on HBO. Thanks as always for joining us and we'll see you again on Friday!

Episode 336: Movie News, Knock at the Cabin, 80 for Brady

January is supposed to be a dumping ground for movies, but so far, February looks even worse. Still, we've got you covered here at Breakfast All Day. Christy and Alonso review "Knock at the Cabin," the latest from M. Night Shyamalan, which has an intriguing premise and some inspired camerawork but turns clunky and muddled. We also review "80 for Brady," an infomercial about Tom Brady which is a cringey waste of its formidable stars: Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, Rita Moreno and Sally Field. In news, we discuss Jafar Panahi's release from prison, "Skinamarink" on Shudder, Andrea Riseborough's Oscar nomination, a "Gladiator" sequel and Paul Thomas Anderson showing "Boogie Nights" in 70mm. And over at our Patreon, we recap episode 5 of "Poker Face," which takes a darker, sadder turn. And speaking of our Patreon, we've added a new level we're excited to tell you about. We call it: "Lunch Date." For $10 a month, you'll get all the goodies you get at the $5 level, plus you'll have exclusive access to monthly live chats where we can meet and talk about movies, TV shows, awards season, whatever!
