It's Blockbuster Tuesday for a change, with just an aroma of the arthouse on this midweek edition of Breakfast All Day. First, we have an early, spoiler-free review of "Wicked," the much-anticipated film version of the beloved Broadway musical. It doesn't come out until this weekend but we wanted to talk about Jon M. Chu's film as soon as we could.…

First, we review "Red One," starring Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans as the only two people on the planet who can save Santa Claus (J.K. Simmons) when he's kidnapped. This is a $250 million blockbuster f…

5d ago49:20

49:20

Sometimes we have these little theme weeks totally by accident. This time on Breakfast All Day, we review two indies that contemplate the power of religion in very different ways. First, we discuss "Heretic," a twisty thriller from A24 starring Hugh Grant in a deliciously villainous role. When two young Mormon missionaries knock on his door, hoping…

1:13:22

We begin November with an absolutely packed episode of movie reviews and news here at Breakfast All Day.

Episode 491: Venom: The Last Dance, Conclave, Movie News LIVE! 54:14

19d ago54:14

54:14

Such a random mix of movies this week, but there's nowhere we'd rather talk about them than here with you on Breakfast All Day. We begin with "Venom: The Last Dance," the third film in the Spider-Man spin-off franchise and easily the worst. It's fun when Tom Hardy's bickering and bantering with his gooey BFF, but that's about it. In theaters. Then …

Episode 490: Smile 2 (With William Bibbiani), Anora, Piece by Piece 35:41

27d ago35:41

35:41

We're kinda scattered all over the place this week, but we'll always come back to you here at Breakfast All Day. Between Christy's jury duty and travel for both of us, we tried to squeeze in as many reviews as we could. And they're super random! First, our good friend Bibbs returns to help Christy with a review of "Smile 2," the sequel to the 2022 …

37:47

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.

1M ago23:10

23:10

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 i…

1:06:34

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…

Episode 484: Megalopolis, The Wild Robot reviews 26:28

2M ago26:28

26:28

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. Ada…

2M ago24:36

24:36

It's the arthousiest of Arthouse Tuesdays here at Breakfast All Day.

And both are in theaters this Friday, Sept. 20. We loved "The Substance," in which D…

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…

3M 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…

3M 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…

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…

4M 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…

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."

5M 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…
