Breakfast All Day movie reviews

It's Bill and Ted and Phineas and Ferb to the rescue, just when we need them most, on  Breakfast All Day . Christy, Alonso and Matt review a couple of movies this week that have an infectious joy and an underlying sweetness, but you'll probably appreciate them more if you're already a fan: "Bill & Ted Face the Music,"  which reunites Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter as those most bodacious dudes, and ...

We missed you guys so much while we were gone last week, but we wish we had better movies for you on the latest Breakfast All Day . Matt, Alonso and Christy review "The One and Only Ivan" on Disney+, Russell Crowe's B-movie thriller "Unhinged," the inventive biopic "Tesla" (the one movie we did enjoy this week) and "Train to Busan Presdents: Peninsula," a sorta-sequel to the 2016 Korean zombie mov...

Come a little closer … we've got a secret (or two) we want to share with you on this week's  Breakfast All Day Podcast . Alonso, Matt and Christy review "The Secret: Dare to Dream"  as well as  "The Secret Garden."  But first! We talk about Seth Rogen and Seth Rogen in  "An American Pickle,"  as well as the existential drama  "She Dies Tomorrow," which feels extremely relevant today. We've got a t...

It's a big week for badass women in the music industry on  Breakfast All Day. Christy, Alonso and Matt review Beyonce's staggeringly beautiful visual concept album "Black Is King,"  available for streaming on Disney+, as well as the Showtime documentary  'The Go-Go's,"  which is a complete blast in celebrating the trailblazing '80s band. We also talk about  "The Fight,"  a documentary that follows...

Hope springs eternal with the start of baseball season, but we're still stuck in the on-deck circle when it comes to movie theaters openings. We talk about all of this and so much more on this week's  Breakfast All Day . Following a jam-packed news segment, Alonso, Matt and Christy review Dave Franco's indie thriller "The Rental,"  the always great Rosamund Pike in the so-so Marie Curie biopic  "R...

Spend a torrid evening with us at  Breakfast All Day — we promise you won't regret it. This week, Matt, Alonso and Christy review the Netflix romantic thriller "Fatal Affair,"  which wasn't nearly as insane as we'd hoped; the Gothic lesbian romance  "Carmilla,"  which we dug; and we play catch-up with Kelly Reichardt's re-released  "First Cow,"  which had its theatrical run interrupted by the coro...

It's just another day in paradise here at  Breakfast All Day . Matt, Alonso and Christy review the justifiably hyped, "Groundhog Day"-style comedy "Palm Springs,"  the bad-ass action drama  "The Old Guard,"  Tom Hanks' WWII thriller  "Greyhound"  and a couple of documentaries: the searing  "Welcome to Chechnya"  and  "Mucho Mucho Amor,"  a love letter to the late Latinx astrologer Walter Mercado....

We finally understand what all the  "Hamilton"  hype is about on this week's  Breakfast All Day . Matt had seen the Broadway musical phenomenon so he knew what was in store, but Christy and Alonso hadn't, so we were blown away by the film version now streaming on Disney+. We also review Rod Lurie's gripping war drama "The Outpost,"  the documentary  "John Lewis: Good Trouble"  and  "The Truth," fe...

Oh how we longed for  "Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga" to be great; sadly, the only thing great about it is the running time, which is over two hours. It has some amusing moments in its celebration of international musical kitsch, though, as Matt, Alonso and Christy discuss this week on Breakfast All Day . We also review the disappointing political satire  "Irresistible"  and the...

"Miss Juneteenth"  is a lovely and vivid indie drama with a tremendous lead performance from Nicole Beharie, one of several movies we review this week on  Breakfast All Day . Alonso, Matt and Christy also discuss the horror movie "You Should Have Left,"  the less-than thrilling spy thriller  "Wasp Network"  and  "Disclosure," an eye-opening documentary about how films and TV shows depict transgend...

Spike Lee's  "Da 5 Bloods" is excellent and it's on Netflix right now for you to watch and sink your teeth into. It's one of several movies Alonso, Matt and Christy review this week on Breakfast All Day . We're all on the same page about Lee's latest, but we find ourselves disagreeing — sometimes wildly — about Judd Apatow's  "The King of Staten Island,"  inspired by the life of "Saturday Night Li...

It's a quick Tuesday catch-up on  Breakfast All Day as Matt, Alonso and Christy review the films we meant to discuss last week but instead devoted an hour to Black Lives Matters protests and coronavirus news. There's some good stuff out there: the trippy literary drama "Shirley," which may end up being one of Christy's favorite movies of the year; the ambitious and anachronistic "Judy & Punch" ; a...

It's been a difficult week/month/year in our country and throughout the world, and we just couldn't wrap our brains around watching movies and talking about them on the latest  Breakfast All Day . It all seemed too frivolous. Instead, Alonso, Matt and Christy discuss the state of things — nationwide protests against police brutality following the killing of George Floyd , peaceful demonstrations a...

It's a crazy world we're living in lately so we're especially happy to see each other's friendly faces this week on  Breakfast All Day.  Plus we have the added bonus of Ben joining us for  Coronavirus news  and a revisit of the Robert Altman 1974 classic  "California Split" — which is now available for streaming on Amazon Prime — and it's always a treat to see him. As for new movies, Alonso, Matt...

Zoinks! Did we ever hate "Scoob!"  on this week's  Breakfast All Day . Matt, Alonso and Christy also review the latest Happy Madison debacle, "The Wrong Missy,"  Tom Hardy's exquisitely terrible  "Capone,"  the fascinating documentary  "Spaceship Earth"  and the well-acted indie drama  "Mother's Little Helpers."  And of course, we begin as always with an update on  Coronavirus news , including Chr...

Like, omigod, it is so totally awesome of you to stop by the  Breakfast All Day Podcast this week! Alonso, Matt and Christy review the musical remake of "Valley Girl" (which Christy wishes she liked more), the documentaries "Becoming"  (about Michelle Obama) and  "A Secret Love"  (about a longtime lesbian couple) and the warm, gentle drama  "Driveways."  Plus, we begin as we always do these days w...

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...

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...

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 t...

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...

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 podcas...

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  "Bac...

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 wa...

We're giving you all a virtual hug while still maintaining proper social distancing on this week's  Breakfast All Day . Matt and Christy spend a big chunk of the latest episode discussing the impact of the coronavirus on the entertainment industry in general and our lives specifically. But because we are indeed a film review podcast, we play catch-up with Pixar's "Onward"  from last week, and we d...
