Breakfast All Day movie reviews

We're back in the trenches here at Breakfast All Day. Alonso and Christy catch up with "All Quiet on the Western Front," now that it's been nominated for nine Academy Awards including best picture, international film and cinematography. The stunning historical epic is streaming on Netflix. We're also back with news, including the campaign behind Andrea Riseborough's Oscar nomination for "To Leslie," the huge success of "The Last of Us" on HBO, more announcements from DC Studios, "Attack the Block 2," and the deaths of Television frontman Tom Verlaine and "Laverne & Shirley" star Cindy Williams. And over at our Patreon, we recap that deeply emotional third episode of "The Last of Us." We just passed our goal of 20,000 subscribers on our YouTube Channel, so if you're hanging out with us there, as well, we're grateful. Thanks for sharing some of your time with us!

We review two extremely different movies set in places that only look like paradise on the latest Breakfast All Day. First, Christy and Alonso are split on Brandon Cronenberg's graphic and disturbing "Infinity Pool," starring Mia Goth and Alexander Skarsgard. So many bodily fluids! Then, Nick Bell from the Fish Jelly Film Reviews YouTube channel joins Christy to discuss "Shotgun Wedding," a lifeless Jennifer Lopez rom-com that's streaming on Prime Video. And over at our Patreon, we recap the first four episodes of the Rian Johnson-Natasha Lyonne mystery series "Poker Face" on Peacock, which we're loving. Thanks for joining us!

It's a bit of a low-key week here at Breakfast All Day as we await Oscar nominations. Be sure to join us at our YouTube channel at Noon PST on Tuesday, Jan. 24 for a live discussion of the nominees. For now, we have reviews of a couple new releases: the thriller "Missing," a sorta-sequel to the 2018 hit "Searching," and the indie drama "When You Finish Saving the World," which finds Jesse Eisenberg making his writing-directing debut. In news, we discuss David Crosby, Alec Baldwin, Timothee Chalamet, the Sundance Film Festival and more. And over at our Patreon, we review the 1985 coming-of-age drama "Smooth Talk," starring Laura Dern, for January's Off the Menu. Thanks for joining us!

A quick midweek drop-in to delight and frighten you here at Breakfast All Day. Our good friend William Bibbiani joins Christy for a review of the buzzy, low-budget horror movie "Skinamarink," which is extremely slow and definitely not for everyone, but it's effectively creepy. In news, we actually have some good things to tell you about, including Jeremy Renner recovering from his snowplow accident, the premiere of "The Last of Us" on HBO, the LA Film Critics awards dinner, and Madonna announcing a world tour. And speaking of "The Last of Us," Alonso and Christy recap episode 1 over at our Patreon, and we'll be doing it all season long, so we'd love to have you join us.

Buckle up for the latest episode of Breakfast All Day. Christy and Alonso review the cheesy Gerard Butler action movie "Plane," which we enjoyed way more than we expected. We also review "No Bears," the latest from Iranian master Jafar Panahi, which is one of Alonso's favorite films of 2022. In news, we discuss the tragic passing of Lisa Marie Presley, as well as Golden Globe winners and Screen Actors Guild, Directors Guild and Producers Guild nominees.

We're catching up with a couple of movies here at Breakfast All Day during these low-key, early weeks of January. Our good friend William Bibbiani joins in for a review of the animated sequel "Puss in Boots: The Last Wish," and we scour the snowy woods for clues in "The Pale Blue Eye" on Netflix. In news, we discuss a couple of big trailers: "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania" and "Beau Is Afraid," plus "M3GAN" box office, Golden Globes and the death of former child star Adam Rich. And over at our Patreon, we recap episodes 3 and 4 of "George & Tammy" on Showtime. Thanks for joining us!

Happy New Year! We've missed you and we're happy to be back here at Breakfast All Day. But before we look ahead to the upcoming year, we share our picks for the best and worst movies of 2022. January starts off on a surprising high note with the delightfully nutty "M3GAN," and our good friend William Bibbiani was kind enough to join in and share his thoughts on this creepy doll horror comedy. And we've got a few items of movie news to share, including Jeremy Renner's snowplow accident, box office for "Avatar: The Way of Water," Lisa Rinna leaving "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" and Noah Schnapp coming out on TikTok. We're glad you're here for all of it!

It's our last episode of 2022! So we're wrapping things up with a round of Ask Us Anything. Among the questions Alonso and Christy answer: what's the hardest part of being a film critic, what would we put on a Sight & Sound ballot, and what's a great so-bad-it's-good Christmas movie? Also, the brilliant Katie Walsh returns to help Christy review "I Wanna Dance With Somebody." We have very different opinions on the Whitney Houston biopic. We hope you enjoy this episode and everything we've shared over the year. We're truly grateful to have you spend time with us, and we look forward to seeing more of you in 2023.

We also discuss "Women Talking," the latest from the always excellent writer-director Sarah Polley. In news, we discuss "Avatar: The Way of Water" box office, Tom Cruise's various insane stunts, the death of lead singer Terry Hall from The Specials and Fun Boy Three, and more. Thanks for sharing a few moments with us during these busy, crazy days!

It's Foreign Language Friday here at Breakfast All Day. Alonso and Christy review Alejandro Gonzalez Iñarritu's deeply personal, magical realist epic "Bardo: False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths," now streaming on Netflix. We also review one of our absolute favorites of the year, the stunningly beautiful "EO," which is the Polish donkey movie you never knew you needed in your life.
