Episode 325: Movie News, Avatar: The Way of Water, Empire of Light
Come on in, the water's fine here at Breakfast All Day. We have an early review of the much-anticipated sequel "Avatar: The Way of Water," which is finally coming out this weekend, 13 years after James Cameron's original. We were dazzled by its imagery and not much else. We also review "Empire of Light," Sam Mendes' love letter to cinema in a year that's already full of them (and we still have "Babylon" coming next week). In news, we discuss LA Film Critics awards, Golden Globe nominations, "The Whale" box office, the legendary composer Angelo Badalamenti and more. And over at our Patreon, we recap episode 2 of "George & Tammy" on Showtime, which we're loving. Join us! * Have you tried Canva yet?

Episode 324: Movie News, The Whale, Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio
It's a total coincidence but we happen to be reviewing "The Whale" and "Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio" on the latest episode of Breakfast All Day. We loved one of these movies and didn't love the other. Tune in to find out which is which! In news we discuss Alonso's new book, Taylor Swift's feature directing debut, the American Film Institute's list of the year's top 10 movies, "Everything Everywhere All at Once" bullies, and Celine Dion. And over at our Patreon, we recap the first four episodes of "Welcome to Chippendale's" on Hulu. Thanks for joining us.

Episode 323: Movie News, White Noise
Just a quick but delicious midweek nibble from us here at Breakfast All Day. We review Noah Baumbach's adaptation of "White Noise," which is a whole lot of movie (and most of it isn't good). In news, we discuss box office, Bong Joon-ho's "Mickey 17," the "Harry & Meghan" documentary series on Netflix, Kirstie Alley, Noodle the pug and more. And over at our Patreon, we recap the first episode of "George & Tammy," the Showtime limited series about George Jones and Tammy Wynette starring Michael Shannon and Jessica Chastain.

Episode 322: Movie News, Violent Night, The Inspection
It's December, so we're officially in Christmas movie season on Breakfast All Day. But we have very different opinions of "Violent Night," an action flick starring David Harbour as a butt-kicking Santa Claus. We are in agreement, though, about "The Inspection," a sensitive and compelling indie drama about a queer, black man who joins the Marines. In news, we discuss the New York Film Critics Circle's year-end picks, the once-a decade Sight & Sound poll where "Jeanne Dielman" was named the best film ever, a bunch of trailers including the hilarious "Cocaine Bear," and the death of Fleetwood Mac's legendary singer/songwriter/keyboardist Christine McVie. And for our Patreon subscribers, we finally (finally!) wrap up "The Vow Part II." Stay warm and thanks for joining us! * If you're loving how we look and sound these days, it's thanks to Riverside.

We're back from Thanksgiving break and we're stuffed with goodies for you on Breakfast All Day. First, we review the delightfully silly and sweet "Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special," which is streaming now on Disney+. We also catch up with the excellent "Aftersun," which is sure to end up on lots of top-10 lists and become an awards contender. In news, we discuss the Oscars, Gotham Awards, Spirit Award nominations, Irene Cara and more. And over at our Patreon, we recap the outstanding season finale of "Andor." Thanks as always for joining us! * Our latest Movie House Shout-Out goes to The Independent in Big Sky, Montana, where Christy visited while skiing with her family over the holiday. They show new releases and have a Christmas movie festival planned throughout December, but they also offer a bar, restaurant, trivia and live music.

Christy and Alonso review the star-studded sequel "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery," which is playing in theaters for a week starting Nov. 23 before streaming on Netflix Dec. 23. We also catch up with "Disenchanted," the disappointing sequel to the 2007 fairy tale musical "Enchanted," which is streaming on Disney+.

Episode 318: Movie News, The Menu
Just a quick, midweek nibble from us at Breakfast All Day as we review "The Menu," the dark comedy starring Anya Taylor-Joy, Ralph Fiennes and Nicholas Hoult. It's one of many skewer-the-rich satires out there these days. We also have some news headlines, including the huge box office opening for "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever," Dave Chappelle's "Saturday Night Live" monologue, Daniel Craig's infectious Belvedere vodka ad and more. We'll be back Friday with reviews of "She Said" and "Bones and All," so be sure to join us!

Plus movie news of course, which includes Kevin Conroy, Andy Taylor, Chris Evans, Jimmy Kimmel and Aaron Carter. Over at our Patreon, we recap a couple of incredible episodes of television: the season finale of "The Handmaid's Tale" and this week's prison break on "Andor."
