1:00:21

Alonso's back from the Venice Film Festival and we're ready to jump into fall here at Breakfast All Day. First, we review "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice," a sequel that's coming out 36 years after Tim Burton's original, which remains one of his best. We had fun with this one, too, but were mixed over whether it works consistently. In theaters. Then, we r…

Spoilers abound in this long weekend edition of the Breakfast All Day podcast. Proceed at your own risk! But do give us a listen if you've seen these movies and want to dig deeper.

14d ago50:53

50:53

We're grasping at the last vestiges of summer here at Breakfast All Day and we're glad to have you along with us. First, we review of "The Crow," a re-imagining of the tragic 1994 action movie based on the comic book series. Bill Skarsgård and FKA Twigs co-star. It's not terrible, but the studio didn't need to be cagey about it with critics. In the…

Episode 477: Didi, Caligula: The Ultimate Cut reviews 21:47

1h ago21:47

21:47

Arthouse Tuesdays don't get artier than this one, with specialty movies on extremely opposite ends of the spectrum. First, we catch up with "Didi (弟弟)" a deeply personal and relatable coming-of-age indie from writer-director Sean Wang. Izaac Wang plays the 13-year-old son of Taiwanese immigrants who's navigating the last month of summer before ente…

1h ago1:18:52

1:18:52

It's an epic episode of Breakfast All Day! And we're playing with the format a bit, offering our Movie News LIVE! segment after the reviews rather than beforehand. (It starts around the 31-minute mark, in case that's your favorite thing.) But first, the biggie of the week is "Alien: Romulus," the seventh film in the franchise and the best one since…

Feels like we're truly back here at Breakfast All Day now that we're doing Movie News LIVE!

17d ago1:02:49

1:02:49

We're back! And we've got one of those accidental theme episodes, with characters who are stuck in unpleasant situations and are desperate to break free. First, we catch up with "Trap," the latest M. Night Shyamalan thriller. We both agree that Josh Hartnett gives a terrific, multilayered performance -- and that the movie loses all the tension it's…

24:47

We've both been traveling but we couldn't miss the chance to chat about one of the biggest movies of the summer, if not THE big movie of the summer, here at Breakfast All Day. The burly, bloody bromance "Deadpool & Wolverine," starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, storms into multiplexes this weekend. We're mixed on this meta action comedy, but …

31:31

Forces of nature are overwhelming us on this week's Breakfast All Day podcast.

1M ago41:16

41:16

We're shooting for the stars as always here at Breakfast All Day. First, we review "Fly Me to the Moon," which is a whole lot of movies crammed into one, none of which feature much chemistry between its gorgeous, A-list actors, Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum. The '60s clothes are great, though. It's in theaters now and will stream on Apple T…

It's a total coincidence, given the Fourth of July holiday, but we discuss a couple of fourquels on the latest episode of Breakfast All Day. First, we review "Despicable Me 4," which finds Gru and his family entering witness protection and struggling to assimilate in suburbia. This movie has about eight plots and no plot. It also has an infinite nu…

2M ago1:05:05

1:05:05

We're at the halfway point of 2024, but we're traveling back to the mid-1980s here at Breakfast All Day. First, we have an early review of "MaXXXine," the third part of Mia Goth and Ti West's horror trilogy following 2022's "X" and "Pearl." We don't agree on this movie, which finds Goth's Maxine character from "X" pursuing her dreams of stardom in …

48:27

We're not sure how it's possible that we're at the halfway point of the year, but here we are, and we're happy you're here with us at Breakfast All Day.

2M ago26:19

26:19

Just a quick midweek pop-in but it's packed with drama. First, we revisit 1985's "St. Elmo's Fire," which is the ultimate Brat Pack movie. Andrew McCarthy's "Brats" documentary inspired us to see whether Joel Schumacher's film still holds up nearly 40 years later. (Spoiler alert: It doesn't.) But that John Parr theme song remains stuck in our heads…

1:10:05

It's an absolutely packed episode full of summer goodness here at Breakfast All Day. "Inside Out 2," one of the most anticipated movies of the season, is in theaters, and while it doesn't quite pack the emotional punch of the Oscar-winning original, it's still extremely good. We also have an early review of "Kinds of Kindness," the latest from Gree…

It's Netflix Day here at Breakfast All Day -- totally by accident, that's just the way it shook out -- but that provides us with a wide variety of movies to review. We discussed the big new movie of the week, "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga," in an earlier episode, so make sure you check that out. Dave White was kind enough to help out on a couple of revi…

It's a jam-packed episode full of summertime treats on the latest Breakfast All Day. For your weekly dose of blockbuster escapism, we review "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes," which we were just so-so on, especially given how satisfying "War for the Planet of the Apes" was seven years ago.

4M ago21:19

21:19

We already did an early review of the big movie of the week -- Luca Guadagnino's "Challengers," which we loved -- but there's plenty more to talk about here at Breakfast All Day. First, we look at Ethan Hawke's "Wildcat," in which he directs his daughter, Maya Hawke, in an inventive biopic about the writer Flannery O'Connor. We're mixed on it but a…

5M ago52:15

52:15

This is one of those weeks on Breakfast All Day where we end up with an accidental theme: Movies about ragtag bands of misfits who come together to pull off a mission.

Episode 450: Civil War, Wicked Little Letters reviews 24:39

5M ago24:39

24:39

Both movies we review on the latest episode of Breakfast All Day are about feuding -- totally by accident, but they offer an intriguing contrast. First, we have a major disagreement about "Civil War," the latest from "Ex Machina" writer-director Alex Garland. This graphic and harrowing thriller envisions an America in which sections have seceded an…

1:10:21

It's the '80s all over again here at Breakfast All Day -- but then again, did it ever stop being the '80s? First, Christy and Alonso review "Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire," which is not good, but at least it does a better job of blending the old and the new than 2021's "Ghostbusters: Afterlife" did. It's in theaters. Then we review "Road House," a re…

It's Arthouse Tuesday here at Breakfast All Day! We have a quick mid-week visit with reviews of two extremely different indies (although they are both about hunger and survival, kinda).

We have a special musical episode of Breakfast All Day for you as we review two very different movies about two very different pop culture icons. First, "This Is Me ...

7M ago23:28

23:28

Dakota Johnson wants neither the great power nor the great responsibility that come with being a superhero in the Spider-Man world, but she's stuck with them in "Madame Web." This movie is getting savaged critically -- as of this posting, it's at 16% on Rotten Tomatoes -- but we didn't think it was completely terrible, and that's mainly thanks to J…

39:34

Super Bowl weekend means slim pickings at the movie theater, so we've got a review for you of "Lisa Frankenstein," a stitched-together horror movie/dark comedy/rom-com from writer Diablo Cody that never quite works. Individual pieces had promise, though, including Kathryn Newton's performance and a great soundtrack of '80s goth tunes. We're also co…

23:01

A quick, midweek pop-in here at Breakfast All Day to catch up on a couple of Academy Award contenders.
