The Baba Yaga AND Shazam are back, and we're here for all the excitement on Breakfast All Day. Christy and Alonso have an early review of "John Wick: Chapter 4," which opens March 24. No spoilers here, we promise, but we'll dig into the latest Keanu Reeves action spectacular after folks have had a chance to see it. We also have a spoiler-free review of the DC Universe sequel "Shazam! Fury of the Gods," which we liked better than a lot of critics. In news, we discuss "The Banshees of Inisherin" 8-bit game, the return of "Ted Lasso," A24's restoration of "Stop Making Sense," Demi Lovato's documentary, the death of R&B singer Bobby Caldwell (whose 1978 hit "What You Won't Do For Love" is our opening music) and more. (We learned about Lance Reddick's death after we finished recording; we'll honor his life and career next week.) And for our Patreon subscribers, recaps of the "Ted Lasso" season 3 premiere and the latest on "The Mandalorian." Thanks for joining us!
"Everything Everywhere All at Once" had a huge night at the 2023 Academy Awards, winning seven including best picture and director. And Christy and Alonso had such a great morning talking everything Oscars during our YouTube live chat that we wanted to share the audio here, as well. We had viewers join us from across the United States and as far away as India, Nigeria, Poland, Spain and the Philippines. Thank you! It was so cool hearing a variety of perspectives on the winners, Jimmy Kimmel's hosting, musical performances, fashion and more. Thanks to everyone for spending time with us throughout awards season. Let's do it again next year!
It's Oscar weekend and we're making our final picks on Breakfast All Day. What do you hope to see happen? Tune into the Academy Awards Sunday night, then join us for a LIVE chat the next morning at 9am PDT on our YouTube channel. We also review the big movie of the week, the horror sequel "Scream VI." And Nick and Joseph from Fish Jelly Film Reviews were kind enough to join Christy for a discussion of Adam Driver's sci-fi bomb "65." As for our TV recaps on our Patreon, we wrap up the first season of "Poker Face" on Peacock, and we dig into the latest episode of "The Mandalorian" on Disney+. Thanks for joining us!
We had such a great live conversation over at our Breakfast All Day YouTube channel that we wanted to share it here as a podcast episode, as well. Grab your Oscar ballots and play along with us. Alonso and Christy go though every category and pick who we think will win at Sunday night's Academy Awards. Let us know how you do in your pools if you take part in that sort of thing. And be sure to join us the Monday morning afterward for another live discussion of what went down. More details coming soon. Enjoy Hollywood's biggest night!
Things are looking up so far in March: We've got a positive review and some upbeat news here at Breakfast All Day. Christy and Alonso discuss Michael B. Jordan's dazzling directorial debut, "Creed III," in which he impresses on both sides of the camera. (Christy is higher on it than Alonso, but both enjoyed it.) In news, we discuss the release of De La Soul's music on streaming services for the first time, Chris Pine and Harry Styles, a stage production of "Stranger Things," and a petition to keep AMC Theatres from cutting down the Nicole Kidman promo. Over at our Patreon, we recap the first episode of "The Mandalorian" season 3 as well as the latest on "Poker Face," which may be the best one yet. And make sure to stop by our YouTube channel at Noon PST Tuesday when we'll be doing LIVE Oscar predictions. Print out your ballot here and join us!
"Jesus Revolution" had such a huge opening weekend, we had to review it here on Breakfast All Day. Christy and Alonso were pleasantly surprised by the faith-based drama about the Christian hippie movement in Southern California in the 1970s. We also finally catch up with the spectacular Oscar-nominated documentary "Fire of Love," which was on Christy's top 10 list for 2022. In news, there's so much stupid stuff going on between Woody Harrelson, Mark Wahlberg and Lady Gaga -- but also Screen Actors Guild and Producers Guild awards, as we inch ever closer to Oscar night. And over at our Patreon, we recap episode 7 of "The Last of Us." Joel's not dead! Ellie goes to the mall!
Speaking of the Academy Awards, mark your calendars for Noon PST Tuesday, March 7, when we'll do a LIVE chat picking winners in every category. Here's a link to our YouTube Channel. You'll also find a link to a printable ballot there. Look forward to seeing you!
"Cocaine Bear" is finally here, and we're here for every insane moment of it on Breakfast All Day. Christy and Alonso review the much-anticipated comic thriller -- which, amazingly, is based on a true story -- and insist that if you're going to see it, you should do so with an audience. We also review "We Have a Ghost" on Netflix, a cheesy haunted house story that wastes a great cast. In news, we discuss the Oscars and SAG Awards, "Succession," Steven Yeun and more. And we've got a couple of goodies on our Patreon: a recap of "Poker Face" episode 8, which may be the best one yet, and a February Off the Menu review of the 2006 romantic comedy "Something New." And if you haven't joined our Patreon yet, now's a great time -- we're doing our first Lunch Date live chat with our subscribers on Monday, Feb. 27 at Noon PST. You can find out more here. We'd love to see you!
It's Mardi Gras! But it's always a party around here at Breakfast All Day. Christy and Alonso catch up with Bill Nighy's subtle yet deeply moving performance in "Living," which earned him a long-overdue Oscar nomination for best actor. It's in theaters now. In news, we discuss the Directors Guild and BAFTA awards, box office for "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania," Tom Sizemore, Richard Belzer and more. And over at our Patreon, we recap this week's episode of "The Last of Us" on HBO, which is another emotional doozy. Also: Mark your calendars for Tuesday, March 7 at Noon PST, when we'll do a live Oscar predictions chat on our YouTube channel. Bring your ballots and win your pools! (We'll do our best to help, at least.) Thank you so much for joining us, as always.
We begin with some exciting news on the latest Breakfast All Day: We hit 5 million views on our YouTube channel! But we also remember the legendary sex symbol Raquel Welch, who died this week at 82. The big movie of the week is "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania," which we reviewed on our previous episode. It's getting pretty negative reviews at 47% on Rotten Tomatoes, but we didn't think it was terrible. As for other new movies, we discuss the twisty thriller "Sharper," which is streaming on Apple TV+, and "Of an Age," a queer romance from Australia. And over at our Patreon, we recap episode 7 of "Poker Face" on Peacock. Thanks for sharing your time with us week after week, we deeply appreciate it.
We're delighted to have you spend part of your Valentine's Day with us here at Breakfast All Day. Christy and Alonso have an early review of the latest Marvel movie, "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania," which is in theaters this weekend. We also catch up with the Netflix comedy "You People," which we're extremely split on. In news, we discuss all those Super Bowl commercials from over the weekend as well as Rihanna's halftime performance, plus we look ahead to season 3 of "Ted Lasso" on Apple TV+ and the "Bridgerton" prequel "Queen Charlotte" on Netflix. We'll be sure to do recaps on our Patreon once they begin. And speaking of our Patreon, we recap episode 5 of "The Last of Us," which was a journey! Thanks for letting us share some time (and chocolate) with you.
