Have you seen "They Cloned Tyrone"? It's this trippy sci-fi/comedy that upends blaxploitation tropes and keeps you guessing the whole way through. We have a spoiler-free catch-up review of the Netflix film, starring a terrific John Boyega, Teyonah Parris and Jamie Foxx, on the latest Breakfast All Day. In news, we remember the legendary director William Friedkin ("The Exorcist," "The French Connection"), who died at 87. Plus we discuss "Barbie" crossing the billion-dollar mark worldwide, Mr. Beast's burger lawsuit, and the passing of "Breaking Bad" and "Better Call Saul" actor Mark Margolis. And for our Patreon subscribers, we recap the first two episodes of "Only Murders in the Building" season 3 on Hulu. It's great to be back at the Arconia! Thanks for hanging out with us.
Surely, if anyone can save us from rampaging megalodons, it's Jason Statham on a Jet-Ski. At least that's the point of "Meg 2: The Trench," which takes way too long to get going. We have a review of this surprisingly dull late-summer sequel on Breakfast All Day. We also review the indie rom-com "Shortcomings," Randall Park's feature directorial debut, starring Justin H. Min, Sherry Cola and Ally Maki. Plus the always brilliant Katie Walsh helps out with a catch-up review of the Australian horror movie "Talk to Me." In news, we have a bunch of corrections -- sometimes, we get things wrong! --plus Pedro Almodovar and Weird Barbie. And for our Patreon subscribers, we recap the first two episodes of "Heartstopper" season 2 on Netflix, which is as charming as ever. Come on in, the water's fine!
So great to be back with you again after traveling for much of July! But we wish we had happier news to share here at Breakfast All Day. Among the topics Alonso and Christy discuss in movie news are the deaths of Paul Reubens, Sinead O'Connor and Angus Cloud. Also: the latest in Barbenheimer box office, the writers' and actors' strikes, and the "Loki" season 2 trailer. Plus we have a review of the animated comedy "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem," which is shockingly pretty great. Be on the lookout for reviews of "Talk to Me" and "Meg 2: The Trench" later this week. Thanks as always for sharing your time with us, and hope you're keeping cool!
It's been a huge week at the movies between "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer," and since there's so much to discuss in both films, we decided to do one big, sparkly, explosive spoiler chat combining the two. In case you missed our YouTube livestream, here's the audio version for your podcast enjoyment. What did you think of these movies? Did you do the Barbenheimer double feature -- and if so, what order did you do them in? Let us know, and thanks for sharing part of your summer with us. Christy and Alonso have both been in and out of town the past few weeks, but we'll be back to our usual podcast schedule soon.
It's summer, so we're sort of in and out and all over the place, but we'll always find time to check in with you here at Breakfast All Day. We have a review of the indie comedy "Theater Camp," which affectionately skewers these over-eager drama nerds. It's in theaters now. And we wanted to share a segment with you that we regularly do for our Patreon subscribers. It's called Off the Menu: Every month, we offer a poll featuring several movies in a certain theme. You vote, we review it. For July, we honor the late, legendary Alan Arkin with a look back at the thrilling "Wait Until Dark" (1967), in which he terrorizes a blind Audrey Hepburn. Be sure to check back next week, when we'll have a LIVE Barbenheimer spoiler chat on our YouTube channel once "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer" have both been in theaters for a few days. We hope you're having a terrific summer, and we appreciate you spending some of it with us!
A quick midweek pop-in for you here at Breakfast All Day. We've got a jam-packed news segment between trailers for "Wonka" and "Napoleon," plus first reactions out of the "Barbie" premiere, Madonna and Jamie Foxx on the mend, and Tom Holland discussing his sobriety. We also have a review of the Max documentary "Rock Hudson: All That Heaven Allowed," about the 1950s and '60s screen icon, his life as a closeted gay man and his death from AIDS. We'll be in and out the next few weeks, but be on the lookout for out-of-the-theater reactions to "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer" on our YouTube channel. Plus we'll be doing a LIVE spoiler discussion of both films on July 26 at Noon PDT, so be sure to join us then. Hope you're having a great summer!
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to join us for reviews of some big summer movies here at Breakfast All Day. We begin with an early look at the thrilling "Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One," which is in theaters July 12. See the latest Tom Cruise extravaganza on the biggest screen you can with the best possible sound. We also review the extremely R-rated comedy "Joy Ride," which features a great cast and a healthy mix of raunchy and sweet. Of course we had to review the "Wham!" documentary on Netflix, since Christy's loved the British pop duo for the past four decades. It's an extremely enjoyable watch. And over at our Patreon, we recap this week's "Secret Invasion" on Disney+ and "The Bear" episodes 5 and 6 (the star-studded Christmas fiasco) on Hulu. Thanks for sharing some of your summer with us!
Want to review a movie with Christy and Alonso? Here's how: We offer a service at Breakfast All Day called Table for One. You pick a film, we all talk about it together, then we send you the video to enjoy. It's been so much fun and a great way to get to know our viewers better. To find out more about scheduling and pricing, email us at bfastalldaypod@gmail.com.
We're honoring the legend Alan Arkin on the latest episode of Breakfast All Day. The Oscar-winning "Little Miss Sunshine" actor, who showed extraordinary range over seven decades of performances, died this week at 89. In other news, we discuss the discovery of Julian Sands' remains, the "Dune: Part Two" trailer, Ryan Seacrest, Madonna and more. We also review the DreamWorks animated comedy "Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken" and the documentary "Every Body," about intersex people fighting for their rights and understanding. And for our Patreon subscribers, we have recaps of "Secret Invasion" episode 2 and "The Bear" season 2 episodes 3-4. Have a safe July 4th holiday weekend and we'll see you again soon!
We're here with a quick, midweek pop-in on Breakfast All Day. So many people asked us to catch up with "Extraction 2," the Chris Hemsworth action sequel on Netflix, that we couldn't possibly say no (even though we'd totally forgotten that we reviewed the original "Extraction" in April 2020). And in news, we have a major correction regarding Jennifer Lawrence's nude beach fight scene in "No Hard Feelings," plus box office and the real-life Barbie Malibu dream house. Thanks as always for joining us!
