Breakfast All Day movie reviews

The delightful Dave White (The Wrap, Linoleum Knife) fills in for his husband, Alonso, this week on Breakfast All Day. And while we've thrown a truly random cross-section of movies his way, the longtime critic is naturally able to speak about them all insightfully. We review the musical "Cyrano" starring Peter Dinklage, "Tyler Perry's A Madea Homecoming" because Dave is a Madea aficionado, and the Foo Fighters' horror comedy "Studio 666." In news, we talk Oscars, SAG Awards, that legendary Spider-Man meme, AnnaLynne McCord's Putin poem, the late Sally Kellerman and more. And over at our Patreon, Alonso and Christy recap this week's episodes of "Pam & Tommy" on Hulu and "The Gilded Age" on HBO. Join Christy and the husbands for all this podcast goodness!

It's 2s-day — that is, 2/22/22 on a Tuesday — so we had to do a midweek drop-in on Breakfast All Day. Christy and Alonso have news updates, including "Uncharted" box office, "The Godfather" re-release for its 50th anniversary, James Gunn and Jennifer Holland getting engaged, our friend Kyle Buchanan's exciting new "Mad Max: Fury Road" book and more. With "The Batman" coming out next week, we take a closer look at Robert Pattinson's best performances, and the way he's used his "Twilight" clout to work with daring auteurs like David Cronenberg and Claire Denis. And we do a spoilery breakdown of that brilliant but subtle twist at the end of "The Power of the Dog," which has understandably caused some confusion. Let us know what you think of all of this, and thanks for joining us!

Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg are hunting for hidden treasure, and we're right on their tails this week on Breakfast All Day. The brilliant Katie Walsh returns to help Christy review "Uncharted," the long-awaited film version of the popular video game series. Alonso and Christy also review "Dog," a buddy road trip comedy starring Channing Tatum and … a dog. In news, we discuss plans for "Stranger Things" seasons 4 and 5, "Peacemaker" season 2, Francis Ford Coppola's GQ magazine article, an update in the fatal Halyna Hutchins shooting, Oscar vaccine plans, and Aaron Rodgers and Shailene Woodley calling it quits. And we've got a ton of great stuff for you over at our Patreon: a recap of the "Peacemaker" season finale and new episodes of "Pam & Tommy" and "The Gilded Age," plus a February Off the Menu review of Sidney Poitier's "A Warm December." Thanks so much for hanging out with us, and enjoy the weekend.

Time is a flat circle, which means you get a Breakfast All Day episode on a Tuesday. We're trying some new things lately, including mixing in mid-week news, reviews and DVD recommendations. Christy and Alonso catch up with Steven Soderbergh's high-tech thriller "Kimi," which is streaming on HBO Max, and we have some DVD recommendations for you including "Eternals" and a 4K of "Looper." And in news, we discuss the Oscars announcing they'll recognize a "most-popular" movie viewers can vote on, Super Bowl ads, Bob Saget conspiracy theories, the death of Ivan Reitman at 75 and more. Be sure to come back on Friday when we'll have reviews of "Uncharted" and "Dog," plus all our TV recaps on our Patreon. Let us know what you'd like to see more or less of, and thanks as always for joining us.

It's Valentine's Day Weekend AND Super Bowl Weekend, and we've got something for whatever you're into on Breakfast All Day. Katie Walsh is back to join Christy for a review of Kenneth Branagh's star-studded (and troubled) version of "Death on the Nile." And Alonso and Christy review a couple of rom-coms: Jennifer Lopez and Owen Wilson in "Marry Me" and Jenny Slate and Charlie Day in "I Want You Back." In news, we talk Oscar and Razzie nominations, the Super Bowl, the "Jurassic World: Dominion" trailer, the future of "Futurama" and #Bendergate, Steven Soderbergh, Brene Brown, Leslie Jones and more. And over at our Patreon, we have a ridiculous amount of TV to recap: "The Book of Boba Fett" finale, plus new episodes of "Peacemaker," "Pam & Tommy" and "The Gilded Age." Buy yourself some chocolate whether you're in love or not, and thanks for hanging out with us.

It's Hollywood's biggest morning — the 2022 Oscar nominations — so we had to post a special Tuesday episode to cover all the highs, lows, surprises and disappointments. Our great friend, Los Angeles Times awards expert Glenn Whipp, joins us to share his perspective. "The Power of the Dog" leads all nominees with 12, followed by "Dune" with 10. What were you happy to see get nominated? What do you hope will win? Let us know. (Also, quick correction, "Licorice Pizza" is NOT streaming yet. Apologies.) Christy and Alonso also have a timely segment on new DVD releases, including three films that got multiple nominations today: "Belfast," "King Richard" and "Encanto." We don't talk about Bruno, but we do talk about movies, and we're happy to have you join us.

Hi, we're Breakfast All Day, and this is … a new episode of our podcast. This week, our dear friend Katie Walsh joins Christy to review the panoply of pain that is "Jackass Forever." We also talk about the disaster epic "Moonfall," which is extremely stupid, and yet, not stupid enough. In news, Alonso and Christy discuss BAFTA nominations, "Knives Out 2," the Spotify exodus, Spike Lee's documentary series on Colin Kaepernick, Whoopi Goldberg, Rudy Giuliani, Howard Hesseman, and the Wordle guy selling his game to the NY Times for low seven figures. And over at our Patreon, we have a mind-blowing array of recaps: "The Book of Boba Fett," "Peacemaker," "The Gilded Age," and the first three episodes of "Pam & Tommy." Thanks as always for joining us!

Rock and roll can never die here at Breakfast All Day. This week, Christy and Alonso review the understated yet powerful teen drama "The Fallout" on HBO Max, the enigmatic "Sundown" starring Tim Roth and Charlotte Gainsbourg, and we have an early review of Norway's "The Worst Person in the World," one of Alonso's favorite movies of 2021, which comes out Feb. 4. In news: awards season takes shape with nominations from the Directors, Producers and Writers guilds. Plus! So many beefs: Neil Young vs. Spotify, Evangeline Lilly vs. vaccine mandates, Taylor Swift vs. Damon Albarn, Morrissey vs. Johnny Marr, and Peter Dinklage vs. "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves." And lots of great stuff over at our Patreon: recaps of this week's "The Book of Boba Fett" (which was finally good!), episodes 4 and 5 of "Peacemaker," and the debut of "The Gilded Age," the latest sophisticated soap opera from "Downton Abbey" creator Julian Fellowes. Cross the street and gossip with us — we won't tell anyone — and thanks as always for listening.

It's January, and the pickings are slim at the movie theater, but we've found some quality nuggets for you here at Breakfast All Day. This week, Christy and Alonso play catch-up with a few movies we've been meaning to discuss: Marvel's thrilling "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings," which is streaming on Disney+; Asghar Farhadi's gripping drama "A Hero," which has been in theaters and is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video; and the inventive, animated documentary "Flee," which expands to more theaters this weekend. In news, we talk about the deaths of Meat Loaf, Louis Anderson and Andre Leon Talley, as well as the legendary Marty from Marty and Elayne at the Dresden, an extremely L.A. entertainer. Also: Sundance has begun virtually, Joss Whedon talks to New York Magazine, the M&M characters get a makeover, "We Don't Talk About Bruno" from "Encanto" is a huge hit, Adele postpones her Las Vegas residency and Adam Rippon marries his boyfriend. And we've got a ton of stuff on our Patreon: recaps of this week's "The Book of Boba Fett" on Disney+ as well as the first three episodes of "Peacemaker" on HBO Max, and a bonus Off the Menu review of 1967's "In the Heat of the Night," the Sidney Poitier film our subscribers chose for us. Enjoy, and thanks as always for joining us.

Do you like scary movies? We've got one for you this week on Breakfast All Day, as Katie Walsh joins Christy to review the new "Scream," the fifth film in the meta horror franchise. Also, Alonso finally watched "Eternals," so we catch up with Chloe Zhao's Marvel entry, and we review the animated "Hotel Transylvania: Transformania," the rare movie that has us extremely divided. In news, we discuss Bob Saget, Ronnie Spector, the Golden Globes, the Screen Actors Guild nominations, season three announcements for both "The Great" and "The Morning Show," Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet divorcing, and O.G. "American Idol" finalist Clay Aiken running for Congress, again. And over at our Patreon, we recap this week's episode of "The Book of Boba Fett" (which we're not really feeling yet) and revisit the delightfully zany "What's Up, Doc?" the Peter Bogdanovich movie our subscribers chose for the latest Off the Menu selection. Don't answer the phone! Listen to our podcast instead. And thanks for joining us.
