Spring break is upon us, but we had to stop by for one last visit here at Breakfast All Day. Alonso is still recording his audiobook, so Christy did another solo edition of Movie News LIVE! Lots to talk about, including Yorgos Lanthimos' "Kinds of Kindness," "A Simple Favor 2," Jerry Seinfeld's Pop-Tarts movie and Jeremy Allen White possibly playing Bruce Springsteen in a "Nebraska"-inspired biopic. Then, the always delightful Dave White (a.k.a. Alonso's husband) filled in on a review on "Godzilla x Kong: A New Empire," which is exactly the kind of big, dumb fun you want from a monster movie like this. Dave is always witty and insightful, so you don't want to miss his appearance.
We're sort of all over the place the next week or so, but we'll have another podcast episode for you next Friday. Until then, thanks so much for being here, and hope you're getting some much-needed time off, too!
It's another Arthouse Tuesday here at Breakfast All Day, with two movies from the daring folks at Neon. First, Christy and Alonso review Alice Rohrwacher's "La Chimera," starring Josh O'Connor as a grave robber with a magical ability to find hidden Etruscan artifacts. It's in theaters starting March 29. Then, Christy and the always entertaining Tim Grierson of Screen International offer a spoiler discussion of "Immaculate," the Sydney Sweeney horror movie that opened over the weekend. So much happens that we knew we had to go in-depth, especially on that shocking ending. Thanks for checking in with us!
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 remake of the 1989 cult favorite with Jake Gyllenhaal taking over the Patrick Swayze role. It's streaming on Prime Video. Finally, our good friend Tim Grierson from Screen International fills in on a review of "Immaculate," the new Sydney Sweeney horror movie which makes being a nun in Italy seem super dangerous. It's in theaters. And we start the whole episode off as we always do on Fridays with Movie News LIVE! Christy flies solo this time while Alonso's off recording his audiobook. Among the topics of discussion are trailers for "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice," "Furiosa" and the "Star Wars" prequel series "The Acolyte." Thanks so much for sharing some of your time with us and have a great weekend.
We have a wee pop-in for you here at Breakfast All Day on this Friday before St. Patrick's Day. Alonso and Christy review "Irish Wish," the latest Netflix rom-com starring Lindsay Lohan. This time, the Lohanaissance takes us to picturesque Ireland, and we were surprisingly charmed. But first we begin with a jam-packed live news segment, in which we discuss Jonathan Glazer, new movies from Ari Aster and Yorgos Lanthimos (both of which star Emma Stone), "The Bear" seasons 3 and 4, the death of World Party founder Karl Wallinger and more. And for our Patreon subscribers, a recap of the "Feud: Capote vs. The Swans" finale. Thanks for sharing your time and enthusiasm with us!

So much to discuss in the epic "Dune: Part Two" that we had to do an in-depth spoiler talk, and we were delighted to see so many of you there. In case you missed the livestream on our YouTube channel, here it is in podcast form. We get into everything we couldn't discuss in our spoiler-free review of Denis Villeneuve's sequel, including Paul's messiah arc, the terrifying Feyd-Rautha, those epic action sequences and that cliffhanger ending. Come back and hang out with us in the sparkly spice of Arrakis! And thanks for being a part of all we do.
We couldn't wait to meet up with you the morning after the Oscars to recap everything that happened during Sunday night's ceremony. All those "Oppenheimer" wins, John Cena's hilarious streaking bit, that dazzling "I'm Just Ken" performance, our favorite red carpet looks and more -- we get to it all in our livestream. In case you missed it, here it is in podcast form. Thank you so much to all of you who came out for the live Oscar watch party, our reaction chat the next day, or both. We're proud to have such an insightful, engaged community here. Share your thoughts on the 2024 Academy Awards, and let's do it again next year!
Grab your ballot and join us for Oscar predictions! This was a super fun YouTube livestream Christy did with the great Glenn Whipp, veteran awards columnist for the Los Angeles Times. Alonso unfortunately has Covid so he couldn't make it, but we still had a great time going category by category and picking who we think will win in each one. We also really enjoyed hearing what our viewers hope to see happen, too. So come hang out with us and win your Oscar pool!
The Academy Awards are on Sunday, March 10 at 4pm PDT on ABC. (The show is earlier this year because it's the first night of Daylight Saving Time). How will you spend the evening? Let us know. And if you don't have any plans, Christy is doing a LIVE Oscar watch party on our Breakfast All Day YouTube channel as a way to have fun with their new vertical livestream feature. Details and link coming soon! Look forward to seeing you.
