Episode 315: Movie News, My Policeman, Causeway
It's the calm before the storm on the latest Breakfast All Day, as we review a couple of indies ahead of some huge releases in the weeks to come. Alonso and Christy discuss the drama "My Policeman," which finds Harry Styles in a forbidden love triangle. It's streaming now on Prime Video. We also review "Causeway," which finds Jennifer Lawrence returning to the kind of raw, unadorned performance she made her name on originally. It's streaming now on Apple TV+. In news, we discuss the myriad ways Elon Musk is ruining Twitter, plus the new "Avatar: The Way of Water" trailer, Kit Connor, Aubrey Plaza, the documentary "God Forbid" and more. And over at our Patreon, the latest on "Andor" and "The Handmaid's Tale." Cozy up on this fall day and join us!

Episode 314: Enola Holmes 2, Armageddon Time
Millie Bobby Brown is a total delight as she returns to the role of Sherlock Holmes' plucky younger sister in "Enola Holmes 2." The action comedy starts streaming Friday on Netflix, but we have an early review for you here at Breakfast All Day. Alonso and Christy also catch up with the latest from writer-director James Gray, the semi-autobiographical drama "Armageddon Time," which includes strong performances from Anne Hathaway, Jeremy Strong, Anthony Hopkins and young Banks Repeta. It's in limited release now but is expanding wider. We're shocked that it's already November, so stick with us for this big month of movies! And mark your calendar for Nov. 12, when we'll do a livestream discussion of "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" on our YouTube channel. Join us, and if you haven't already, we'd love it if you'd subscribe.

Episode 313: Movie News, Call Jane, Stars at Noon
It's sort of a low-key week around here as we wait for Black Panther to return on Breakfast All Day. Christy and Alonso review "Call Jane," about the underground group that helped women secure safe abortions in 1968 Chicago, starring a terrific Elizabeth Banks and Sigourney Weaver. We also catch up with the toxic romance "Stars at Noon," the latest from master French filmmaker Claire Denis, which is now streaming on Hulu. In news, we discuss Elon Musk buying Twitter, the "Wakanda Forever" premiere (and keep an eye out for our YouTube livestream discussion on Nov. 12), the weird Matthew Perry-Keanu Reeves beef, James Gunn taking over DC Studios and more. And over at our Patreon, recaps of this week's excellent episodes of "Andor" and "The Handmaid's Tale." Thanks as always for hanging out, and save some Halloween candy for us.

Episode 312: Movie News, Wendell & Wild
Join us for a colorful romp through the underworld on Breakfast All Day. Alonso and Christy discuss "Wendell & Wild," the wonderfully weird stop-motion animation fantasy from director Henry Selick and co-writer Jordan Peele. It's streaming on Netflix starting Friday but we have an early review. We also have a ton of news to catch up on from the past week, including all the Kanye West anti-Semitism fallout, Gotham Award nominations, Henry Cavill returning to play Superman, the "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania" trailer and the death of Leslie Jordan. Thanks as always for joining us.

Episode 311: Black Adam, Ticket to Paradise, The School for Good and Evil
It's star-studded this week on Breakfast All Day, as a couple of our great friends swing by to help review some new movies with serious A-list casts. Alonso and Christy talk "Black Adam," Dwayne Johnson's long-awaited foray into the DC Extended Universe. Katie Walsh joins in for "Ticket to Paradise," a scenic and superficial rom-com that reunites George Clooney ad Julia Roberts. Tim Grierson stops by for "The School for Good and Evil," an overstuffed YA fantasy film on Netflix featuring Charlize Theron, Kerry Washington, Michelle Yeoh and Laurence Fishburne. And over at our Patreon, we have recaps of this week's extremely eventful episodes of "Andor" and "The Handmaid's Tale." Join us — all of us!

Episode 310: Movie News, The Banshees of Inisherin, Decision to Leave
It's Arthouse Tuesday here at Breakfast All Day as we review two movies we absolutely loved. "The Banshees of Inisherin" reunites writer-director Martin McDonagh with his "In Bruges" stars Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson in a hilarious, horrifying and heartbreaking story of male friendship. The latest from Korean master Park Chan-wook, "Decision to Leave," is a gorgeous and devastating film noir that will linger with you long afterward. And in news, we discuss the "Halloween Ends" box office, "Tales of the Jedi," Olivia Wilde's special salad dressing and Pan Solo. Grab a plate and join us.

Episode 309: Movie News, Halloween Ends, Till
Oh hey, we're just hanging out with a bowl full of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, waiting for Michael Myers to come knock on our door at Breakfast All Day. Alonso and Christy review the horror movie "Halloween Ends" — which hopefully truly is the end — as well as the emotionally wrenching drama "Till," about the 1955 lynching of 14-year-old Emmett Till. In news, we discuss the deaths of Angela Lansbury and Robbie Coltrane, as well as Sydney Sweeney as Barbarella and Liam Neeson as Lt. Frank Drebin. And it's a big day at our Patreon with recaps of three excellent episodes of television: "Andor," "The Handmaid's Tale" and the series finale of "She-Hulk." Join us!

Episode 308: Movie News, Werewolf by Night, Hellraiser
It's Spooky Tuesday at Breakfast All Day, as we review the Marvel special "Werewolf by Night," which is streaming on Disney+ (and we go into spoilers, since it's been out for several days now). We also review the "Hellraiser" reboot with our friend William Bibbiani, who's an expert on the horror series. (Apparently this is the 11th one, and Alonso and Christy have seen none of them.) In news, we discuss the dismal box office opening for "Amsterdam," Botox courtesy of "Triangle of Sadness," an early opening for "Glass Onion" and the death of veteran Hollywood journalist Nikki Finke.

Episode 307: Movie News, TÁR, Triangle of Sadness
We're deep into fall movie season on Breakfast All Day. Christy and Alonso have reviews of two of the most anticipated titles, which happen to be coming out in the same week: "TÁR," with its riveting lead performance from Cate Blanchett, and "Triangle of Sadness," the Palme d'Or winner from writer-director Ruben Östlund. In news, we discuss Velma from Scooby-Doo being officially queer, Alec Baldwin settling with the family of "Rust" cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, trailers for "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" and "Shotgun Wedding," "Moonlighting" coming to streaming, and comedian Judy Tenuta, who died at 72. And over at our Patreon, recaps of "Andor," "The Handmaid's Tale" and "She-Hulk."

Episode 306: Movie News, Amsterdam, Don't Worry Darling Spoilers
We're doing a bit of time traveling on the latest Breakfast All Day. First, Alonso and Christy look ahead to the star-studded hot mess that is "Amsterdam," which comes out this Friday. Then, we look back at the star-studded hot mess that is "Don't Worry Darling," which has been out for a little while now so it's time for a spoiler discussion. And in news, we discuss the death of country legend Loretta Lynn and the importance of "Coal Miner's Daughter," plus box office, the "Wakanda Forever" trailer, the Lizzo flute fiasco and more.
