Breakfast All Day movie reviews

Thanks so much to the many lovely folks who joined us for our LIVE spoiler discussion of "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3" on our Breakfast All Day YouTube channel. In case you missed it, here it is in podcast form. We talked about some of the reasons we didn't love this movie the way a lot of critics and fans did, Chris Pratt's career, James Gunn's many music choices and the state of the Marvel Ci...

"Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3" is the big movie of the week, but some smaller movies dared to share space in the multiplex this weekend. So we reviewed  "Love Again," a romantic comedy/drama that hinges on a fatal car accident, some accidental texts and the music of Celine Dion. It's weird, but not nearly as weird as it could have been! In news , we discuss the Writers Guild strike, Carrie Fishe...

So much happens in "Beau Is Afraid" that is dazzling, perplexing, terrifying, etc., that we knew we had to do a spoiler conversation to work through it all. We did it live on our YouTube channel with the help of our great friend, the brilliant Tim Grierson -- who liked Ari Aster 's three-hour nightmare odyssey way more than we did -- and had a great conversation with our viewers. In case you misse...

It's Gnarly Tuesday here at Breakfast All Day . We're catching up with a couple of super gory (but very well-made!) action/horror movies in theaters now. And if you can see them in a theater, you really should, because they're both such fun crowd experiences. With Alonso finishing his latest book, we've got a couple of great friends to share their insights. Horror expert William Bibbiani joins in...

We've got a super early review of "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3" on Breakfast All Day . And it's spoiler-free, because the movie doesn't even come out until May 5. But we wanted to chat about the latest in the MCU -- writer-director James Gunn's final film for Marvel before he heads to DC Studios -- as soon as we could. Stay tuned for details on a live spoiler chat coming soon. Also, Katie Walsh...

It's Documentary Tuesday here at Breakfast All Day , with reviews two movies about towering pioneers in their fields. First, Alonso's husband, Dave White, returns to talk about  "Judy Blume Forever," a celebration of the essential Young Adult author who's still as spiky and sweet as she was in the '70s. Alonso and Christy also review "Little Richard: I Am Everything," about the architect of rock '...

Ana de Armas and Chris Evans are impossibly beautiful individually but have zero chemistry with each other in the spy comedy "Ghosted." It's streaming now on Apple TV+, and we have a review on the latest  Breakfast All Day . Then, our great friend Tim Grierson (Screen International, @TimGrierson) helps out with a review of "Chevalier," starring Kelvin Harrison Jr. as virtuoso violinist and champio...

We love doing these Ask Us Anything segments and it was even more fun answering your questions LIVE on our Breakfast All Day YouTube channel. Here's the audio of our latest conversation, which covers everything from falling asleep in the theater to first crushes to favorite horror movies . We'll be sure to do more of these, and we hope you can join us! 

Just a couple of quick goodies for you on this midweek Breakfast All Day episode. Alonso and Christy review "Suzume," the latest animated film from the great Japanese writer-director Makoto Shinkai ("Your Name.," "Weathering With You").

Sink your teeth into the latest episode of Breakfast All Day .

We also catch-up with  "Tetris" on Apple TV+, and Christy revisits "Everything Every...

We've got high and low cinema for you on the latest episode of Breakfast All Day . First, we review  "The Super Mario Bros. Movie," which is not good, but being a fan of the game probably helps. Then, we discuss the latest from indie film icon Kelly Reichardt,  "Showing Up," which marks her fourth collaboration with Michelle Williams. And over at our Patreon , we recap the latest episodes of "The...

Plus we have reviews of Ben Affleck's "Air," which is great, and Owen Wilson's "Paint," which is not. And over at o...

It's spring break, so Christy's off skiing with her family, but that doesn't mean we're taking a vacation from offering you goodies here at Breakfast All Day . She and Alonso review the action comedy "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves," which is surprisingly fun (and you don't need to play D&D to enjoy it). Also: heavy spoilers for "John Wick: Chapter 4." You've been warned! And for our late...

We're nearing the end of this seemingly endless month and we're happy to be doing it with you on Breakfast All Day.

But we also have a review of writer-director Zach Braff's "A Good Person," a maudlin drama about loss and redemption f...

We begin our latest episode of Breakfast All Day with some sad news: the death of Lance Reddick . The star of the "John Wick" franchise and "The Wire" was just 60 years old. We also discuss the dismal "Shazam! Fury of the Gods" box office, the trailer for "Joy Ride," Eva Longoria's "Flamin' Hot" movie, the cast of "Ted Lasso" at the White House and more. For reviews, we have "Moving On," a dark bu...

"Everything Everywhere All at Once" had a huge night at the 2023 Academy Awards, winning seven including best picture and director.

Things are looking up so far in March: We've got a positive review and some upbeat news here at Breakfast All Day . Christy and Alonso discuss Michael B.

In  news , we discuss the release of De La Soul's music on streaming services for the...

"Jesus Revolution" had such a huge opening weekend, we had to review it here on Breakfast All Day . Christy and Alonso were pleasantly surprised by the faith-based drama about the Christian hippie movement in Southern California in the 1970s. We also finally catch up with the spectacular Oscar-nominated documentary "Fire of Love," which was on Christy's top 10 list for 2022. In news , there's so m...

"Cocaine Bear" is finally here, and we're here for every insane moment of it on Breakfast All Day . Christy and Alonso review the much-anticipated comic thriller -- which, amazingly, is based on a true story -- and insist that if you're going to see it, you should do so with an audience. We also review "We Have a Ghost" on Netflix, a cheesy haunted house story that wastes a great cast. In news , w...
