Episode 275: Movie News, Hustle, Grease 2
We're your cool rider and girl for all seasons on the latest Breakfast All Day. Alonso and Christy revisit the cult classic "Grease 2" on the occasion of its 40th anniversary Blu-Ray release. It's a movie Christy loves dearly with zero irony, and Alonso enjoys enough to indulge her by talking about it. We also review the shockingly great Adam Sandler basketball drama "Hustle," now out on Netflix. And in news, we discuss "Top Gun: Maverick" box office, the "Morbius" re-release, "Jurassic World Dominion" (which we'll have a full review of on Friday), Mariah Carey being sued, "The Northman" on Peacock and more. Hop on and join us!

Episode 274: Movie News, Crimes of the Future, RRR
It's Gnarly Friday here at Breakfast All Day, as Christy and Alonso review the trippy new David Cronenberg thriller "Crimes of the Future" as well as the astounding Indian sensation "RRR." In news, we discuss the Johnny Depp/Amber Heard verdict, Jada Pinkett Smith on The Slap, production beginning on "Furiosa," BTS at The White House, Quentin Tarantino's new podcast, Alonso's viewing of "RRR" at an #encoRRRe screening and more. And we've got a ton of great stuff for you over at our Patreon: recaps of "Stranger Things" episodes 3 and 4, plus the latest on "Obi-Wan Kenobi" and "The Offer." * Thanks again to the excellent folks at The Loft Cinema in Tucson, AZ, for teaming up with us this week.

Episode 273: Movie News, Fire Island, Ask Us Anything!
It's a beautiful day to stay inside with us at Breakfast All Day. In news, Alonso and Christy talk about the surprise release of Bo Burnham's "Inside Outtakes," as well as "Top Gun: Maverick" box office, Kate Bush, Bradley Cooper, Rachel Zegler and more. (Also, we realize in retrospect that "Triangle of Sadness" is a Neon movie, not A24 -- apologies for the error.) We also have an early review of the delightfully raunchy, gay rom-com "Fire Island," which will begin streaming Friday on Hulu. And we do another round of Ask Us Anything, including questions about how we met and became friends, our advice on becoming a film critic, which director we'd teach a college course on and what's the craziest movie we've ever seen. This week's Movie House Shout-Out goes to a particularly rad theater: The Loft Cinema in Tuscon, AZ. You may remember them from our marquee segment when theaters were still closed early in the pandemic.

Episode 272: Movie News, The Bob's Burgers Movie
Only the Belchers can rescue us from this miserable week, so it's a good thing "The Bob's Burgers Movie" is finally coming out. Christy and Alonso have extremely different reviews on Breakfast All Day — Christy's a huge fan of the TV show so she had a blast, Alonso isn't so he didn't love it as much. In news, we briefly discuss the horrific school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, and the celebrity response to it; the death of Ray Liotta at 67; Star Wars Celebration announcements; Cannes premieres of "Elvis" and "Stars at Noon"; and Harrison Ford returning for a fifth "Indiana Jones" movie. If you're looking for "Top Gun: Maverick," we reviewed it and the original "Top Gun" on Tuesday's episode. And over at our Patreon, we have a ridiculous amount of great stuff: recaps of the first two episodes of "Stranger Things" season 4, the first two episodes of "Obi-Wan Kenobi," and episode 7 of "The Offer." Thanks as always for sticking with us, stay safe, and enjoy the long weekend.

Episode 271: Movie News, Top Gun: Maverick, Top Gun (1986)
It's "Top Gun" Tuesday here at Breakfast All Day — kinda like Taco Tuesday, only with more chunks of real Tom Cruise in every bite. We have an early review for you of the long-awaited sequel, "Top Gun: Maverick," which Christy loved but Alonso wasn't quite as enthusiastic. We also revisit the original "Top Gun" from 1986, which the sequel recalls repeatedly, to see how it holds up today. And in news, we discuss several new trailers including "Thor: Love and Thunder," shake-ups at "Saturday Night Live," Dave Chappelle, Ricky Gervais, Ellen DeGeneres and more. Come back on Friday when we'll have a review of "The Bob's Burgers Movie." Until then, thanks for joining us in the Danger Zone!

Episode 270: Movie News, Men, Downton Abbey: A New Era
It's raining "Men" … hallelujah? Katie Walsh joins Christy to try and work through Alex Garland's impeccably crafted, deeply disturbing thriller this week on Breakfast All Day. Alonso and Christy also review something a bit lighter: the sequel "Downton Abbey: A New Era." In news, we discuss "Stranger Things" season 4 revelations, including the release of the first eight minutes of episode 1. Plus: Tom Cruise at Cannes, the trailer for the JLo documentary on Netflix (which Christy is in very, very briefly), "The Bob's Burgers Movie" premiere, "Heartstopper," "Bros," "She-Hulk" and more. And over at our Patreon, we recap episode 6 of "The Offer" on Paramount+. "The Godfather" will get made eventually, we just know it! Thanks as always for joining us.

Episode 269: Movie News, On the Count of Three
We've got a quick, midweek nibble for you on Breakfast All Day, but we promise it's packed with nutrients. Alonso and Christy review "On the Count of Three," comedian Jerrod Carmichael's directorial debut; it's a comedy about suicide, and we were so impressed with the tough tonal balance Carmichael strikes. In news, we talk box office, "Bridgerton" season 3, "Saturday Night Live," Britney Spears, "RRR" and more. And over at our Patreon, we have a May Off the Menu discussion of "Ordinary People" (1980), winner of four Academy Awards including best picture and best director for Robert Redford. Thanks for joining us and we'll see you again Friday! * This week's Movie House Shout-Out goes to The Grand Cinema in Tacoma, Washington. They offer both studio releases and arthouse fare, and they do lots of great work to promote a love of film in the community.

Episode 268: Movie News, Firestarter, Senior Year, Pleasure
We didn't start the fire, but we're happy to sit around it and talk about the week's new movies on Breakfast All Day. Alonso and Christy review the surprisingly dull "Firestarter," yet another adaptation of the Stephen King novel. Also: the Rebel Wilson comedy "Senior Year" on Netflix and "Pleasure," a provocative, Spirit Award-nominated look at the adult film industry. In news, we discuss the tragic closing of the Landmark Theatre in Los Angeles, sequels to "A Simple Favor" and "This Is Spinal Tap," Norm MacDonald, Patti LuPone, Fred Ward and more. And on our Patreon, we recap the latest episode of "The Offer" on Paramount+, which was surprisingly good. Thanks as always for joining us.

Episode 267: Movie News, Doctor Strange 2 Spoiler Discussion
Hey, look, the trailer for the "Avatar" sequel is finally online, and we have some thoughts on your midweek Breakfast All Day drop-in. Alonso and Christy also discuss the giant opening for "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness," Fred Savage, Frank Langella, the "Dirty Dancing" sequel and more in news. And we have an in-depth spoiler discussion of the "Doctor Strange" sequel. You've been warned! But also, join us! We're happy to see you.

Episode 266: Marvel Mondays: Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
We're back with another episode of Marvel Mondays! Christy's surly tween, Nicolas, agreed to sit down with her to discuss "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness." The original "Doctor Strange" (2016) was a favorite of ours among all of the MCU movies, so we had high hopes, but ended up with mixed reviews. Nic and Christy talk about Sam Raimi's style, Wanda's motivation, America Chavez, the many characters and storylines that get woven in here and where they'd rank the "Doctor Strange" sequel within the franchise. Thanks as always for joining us, and we'll be back in July with a Marvel Monday discussion of "Thor: Love and Thunder"!
