You can't go on vacation in real life these days but you can enjoy "The Trip to Greece," one of many movies we review this week on Breakfast All Day.

Thanks for sticking with us as we head into summer, and hope you're doing well.

Episode 122: Coronavirus update, Bad Education, The Half of It, All Day and a Night

The band is back together! It's been a year since we've all been in the same place at the same time so we are thrilled to have Ben with us this week, if briefly and remotely, on the latest Breakfast All Day. He joins us for our weekly Coronavirus update before Christy, Alonso and Matt launch into reviews of "Bad Education" on HBO and "The Half of It" and "All Day and a Night" on Netflix. And over at our Patreon, Ben and Alonso discuss the series finale of "Homeland." Plus Christy, Matt and Alonso do an Off the Menu review of the movie you chose for us, the original 1973 "The Wicker Man," and recap the latest on "Westworld" and "Mrs. America." Thanks for sticking with us, and here's to a better month.

Episode 121: Coronavirus update, Extraction, Beastie Boys Story, True History of the Kelly Gang, Circus of Books/The Booksellers

Only Chris Hemsworth as a hunky, black-market mercenary named Tyler Rake could pull us out of the morass in which we've found ourselves. His Netflix action extravaganza, "Extraction," is one of several movies we review this week on Breakfast All Day. Christy, Alonso and Matt also discuss the excellent Apple+ documentary "Beastie Boys Story," the stylish drama "True History of the Kelly Gang" and a couple of quasi-related documentaries: "Circus of Books" and "The Booksellers." But before all that, we begin as we always do with an update of coronavirus news. And over at our Patreon, we recap the gripping series finale of "The Plot Against America" as well as the latest episodes of "Westworld" and "Mrs. America.'' Hope you're all safe and well, and we're happy to have you with us from afar.

Episode 120: Coronavirus update, Love Wedding Repeat, We Summon the Darkness, The Quarry, Endings Beginnings, Sea Fever

It's sort of a blah week movie-wise and otherwise, but we're happy to see each other and you on the latest Breakfast All Day. Alonso, Matt and Christy begin as always with Coronavirus news (including the cancellation of Comic-Con and Taylor Swift's 2020 concert tour) before moving on to a truly random mix of film reviews: the lame Netflix rom-com "Love Wedding Repeat," the horror satire (we think) "We Summon the Darkness," Shea Whigham vs. Michael Shannon in "The Quarry," the romantic drama "Endings, Beginnings" (which Matt accurately describes as Mumbledore "Reality Bites"), and the Irish thriller "Sea Fever." And over at our Patreon, we dig into the first three episodes of the excellent Hulu series "Mrs. America" as well as recap the latest on HBO's "Westworld" and "The Plot Against America." Hope you're all staying safe and well, and thanks for staying with us.

Episode 119: Coronavirus update, Trolls World Tour, Tigertail, Coffee & Kareem, Sorry We Missed You, Dolphin Reef, Elephant

We've got plenty of options to keep you occupied while you're stuck inside on this week's Breakfast All Day. Alonso, Matt and Christy begin as always with our weekly Coronavirus update, discussing how the disease is impacting the industry as well as good things like concerts you can enjoy remotely. We also have a ton of reviews for you: the sequel "Trolls World Tour," the lovely Netflix drama "Tigertail," the terrible Netflix comedy "Coffee & Kareem," Ken Loach's latest, the searing "Sorry We Missed You," and a couple of Disneynature documentaries you can watch on Disney+: "Dolphin Reef" and "Elephant." And over at our Patreon, we recap the latest episodes of "Westworld" and "The Plot Against America" on HBO. No crying this week, we promise! Hope you're doing well and thanks as always for spending time with us.

Episode 118: Coronavirus update, Never Rarely Sometimes Always, Crip Camp, Uncorked

It's an emotional week on Breakfast All Day as the coronavirus continues to impact all of our lives and the world around us. Christy, Matt and Alonso provide you with our weekly update and even get a little teary-eyed (at least Christy does, talking about her former AP colleague Nick Jesdanun, a marathon runner and lovely guy who died from the virus this week at age 51). But we are a movie podcast first and foremost, so we also bring you reviews of the excellent "Never Rarely Sometimes Always," the documentary "Crip Camp" and the drama "Uncorked," all of which are available through streaming. And over at our Patreon, we discuss episodes 4-7 of "Tiger King" on Netflix, where things take a dark turn, plus recap the latest on HBO's "Westworld" and "The Plot Against America." We're so grateful to you all for sticking with us and hope we can brighten your day a bit. Thanks and stay safe.

Episode 117: Coronavirus Update, Banana Split, Resistance, Big Time Adolescence, Bacurau, Dirty Dancing

There are so many movies to watch during these strange days when we're all stuck at home, so hopefully we can bring you a little guidance this week on Breakfast All Day. Matt, Alonso and Christy review the comedy "Banana Split" (from director Ben Kasulke, an A La Carte alum), the WWII drama "Resistance," Hulu's "Big Time Adolescence" starring Pete Davidson and the Brazilian thriller "Bacurau." All are streaming. Plus! We go back and revisit "Dirty Dancing," which for some reason Matt had never seen. And over at our Patreon, we discuss the first three episodes of the insane Netflix series "Tiger King," as well as the latest episodes of HBO's "Westworld" and "The Plot Against America." We've had the time of our lives, and we owe it all to you.

Episode 116: Coronavirus Update, Swallow, Blow the Man Down

Podcasting in the time of coronavirus is a challenge, but we're insistent on sticking together and making it work on Breakfast All Day. Alonso, Matt and Christy begin — as we probably will for weeks to come — with an update on how the pandemic is impacting the entertainment industry, including the many ways celebrities are using their talents for good from afar. We also review movies you can watch from home through streaming services: the chilling and meticulously crafted thriller "Swallow," and the quirky genre mashup "Blow the Man Down." Both are available through Amazon Prime. And over at our Patreon, we discuss the extremely appropriate movie our subscribers chose for us to review — Steven Soderbergh's "Contagion" — and we recap the first episodes of "The Plot Against America" and the new season of "Westworld," both on HBO. Apologies in advance for the spotty audio quality — we recorded this on Skype, and we're still trying to figure it out. Stay safe, and thanks for staying with us.
