Breakfast All Day movie reviews

We're out in the wilderness for our latest episode of Breakfast All Day, so apologies in advance if the sound quality is a little wonky. Christy's wi-fi went out right as we were about to do our weekly livestream, so she dashed over to the library to use theirs. Still, we have lots of goodies for you. First, we review "We Live in Time," a nonlinear A24 weepy starring Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfi...

It's one of our weirder Arthouse Tuesdays here at Breakfast All Day. First, we catch up with "The Outrun," starring a searing Saoirse Ronan as a young woman struggling with alcoholism and searching for her place in the world. It's excellent, and it's playing in theaters now. Then, the great Dave White (Alonso's husband) shares his horror insights in our review of "Terrifier 3." We'd never seen the...

We're far from the shallow now as we enter fall movie season in earnest here at Breakfast All Day. First, we review the much-anticipated and highly polarizing "Joker: Folie à Deux." Todd Phillips' sequel to his Oscar-winning 2019 drama "Joker" finds Joaquin Phoenix returning to the Batman villain role with Lady Gaga at his side as Harley Quinn. And did we mention that it's a musical? This is a spo...

We had such a great turnout for our LIVE spoiler conversation about "The Substance" at our YouTube channel. In case you missed it and want to listen to it on the go, here it is in podcast form. We love chatting with you in this format, so be on the lookout for more! And let us know what you thought of this insane film!

There's a sneaky little theme that unites the two movies we review on the latest episode of Breakfast All Day: They both feature impressive, A-list casts, and you can watch both of them right now on streaming. First, we discuss "Wolfs," an action comedy in which Brad Pitt and George Clooney play New York City fixers forced to team up on a wintry, all-night adventure. The film from writer-director...

It's a quick but nourishing midweek serving of Breakfast All Day. We have early reviews of two big movies that are opening this weekend. First, we couldn't wait to talk about "Megalopolis," Francis Ford Coppola's long-gestating sci-fi epic. We're extremely mixed on it, but that feels fitting, given the big, ambitious swings the movie is taking. Adam Driver, Nathalie Emmanuel, Aubrey Plaza, Giancar...

We're always more than meets the eye here at Breakfast All Day. First, we're split on "Transformers One," the animated prequel that explores the friendship that once existed between Optimus Prime and Megatron. Chris Hemsworth, Brian Tyree Henry and Scarlett Johansson are among the all-star cast. In theaters. Then, we review "His Three Daughters," an indie drama that features incredible performance...

It's the arthousiest of Arthouse Tuesdays here at Breakfast All Day. It's also one of those weeks where we wind up with a theme: Both movies we review are about people who undergo radical transformations to become more beautiful and youthful versions of themselves. And both are in theaters this Friday, Sept. 20. We loved "The Substance," in which Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley play two versions o...

It's a truly random cross-section of films on this week's Breakfast All Day as we await prestige movie season. First, our old friend Kristian Harloff joins Christy to review "Speak No Evil," a remake of the Danish thriller about an American family visiting an English family they barely know at their remote farm. James McAvoy gives a delightfully deranged performance. In theaters. Then, Christy and...

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 review the documentary "Lover of Men: The Untold Hi...

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. Alonso's at the Venice Film Festival, but before he left, we recorded an "Alien: Romulus" spoiler discussion, where we get into all the gnarly stuff we didn't want to reveal in our non-spoiler review. That's in theaters...

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 theaters now. Then, we have a spoiler-free review of...

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 entering high school in 2008. It's cringe-inducing i...

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 James Cameron's "Aliens." We'll have a separate s...

Feels like we're truly back here at Breakfast All Day now that we're doing Movie News LIVE! So nice seeing so many of our folks at our regular Friday livestream, where we talked about the voice actors strike, who should play Tim Walz on "Saturday Night Live," Timothée Chalamet as Bob Dylan and more.  We also have a couple of new movie reviews for you, starting with "It Ends With Us." Katie Walsh h...

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 built once it leaves the arena concert setting. T...

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 we're certain that we need to do a separate spoile...

Forces of nature are overwhelming us on this week's Breakfast All Day podcast. We have reviews of two big, dopey tornado movies: "Twisters," starring Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones as scientists scurrying across the Oklahoma plains in search of the big one, and the original "Twister" from 1996, starring Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton doing the exact same thing. "Twisters" is in theaters now, and "T...

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 TV+ eventually. Then, we discuss "Sing Sing," a fes...

Our great friend Tim Grierson from Screen International stops by to discuss two extremely movies on this brief, midweek pop-in at Breakfast All Day. First, we have an early review of the deeply unsettling horror movie "Longlegs," starring Maika Monroe and Nicolas Cage. It's in theaters Friday. Next, we have a late review of "Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1," the first part of Kevin Costner's...

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 number of Minions, which is the main reason your kid...

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 1985 Hollywood and getting caught up in a string o...

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. Kind of a random mix of movies opening this weekend. First, we review "A Quiet Place: Day One," a prequel that takes place in New York City on the day of the alien invasion. We do not agree on this one! Lupita Nyong'o and Joseph Quinn star. It's i...

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. It's streaming in various places if you'd like t...

Summer brings big movies with A-list stars and weird little indie gems, and we're here for all of it at Breakfast All Day.  This week, we review "The Bikeriders," the latest from writer-director Jeff Nichols. It stars Tom Hardy, Austin Butler and Jodie Comer and is based on a real Midwestern motorcycle gang from the 1960s. We do not agree on this movie! It's in theaters now. But we both loved "The...
