The pickings are slim on Super Bowl Weekend, but we're here to steer you in the right direction on Breakfast All Day if you're looking for a different kind of entertainment. Christy and Alonso review "Magic Mike's Last Dance," which finds Channing Tatum taking the stage one final time at Salma Hayek Pinault's request. We differ on the movie but agree that the dance numbers are spectacular. We also review the extremely bland rom-com "Your Place or Mine," starring Reese Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher, on Netflix. In news, we have a lengthy discussion about songwriting legend Burt Bacharach, who died this week at 94, but somehow forgot to mention that he wrote the theme to the 1958 horror movie "The Blob," this week's opening song. Plus: trailers for "Fast X," "Strays" and "Air." And for our Patreon subscribers, a recap of the latest episode of "Poker Face." Thanks for joining us!
It's Single Mom Day here at Breakfast All Day as we catch up with "To Leslie," the indie drama that earned a surprise Oscar nomination for its ferocious star, Andrea Riseborough. Christy and Alonso also review "Jeanne Dielman," the 1975 film that topped the prestigious, once-a-decade Sight and Sound poll. In news, we discuss "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania," box office, AMC's new seating price plan, the Grammys, Armie Hammer and more. And over at our Patreon, we recap episode 4 of "The Last of Us" on HBO. Thanks as always for joining us and we'll see you again on Friday!
January is supposed to be a dumping ground for movies, but so far, February looks even worse. Still, we've got you covered here at Breakfast All Day. Christy and Alonso review "Knock at the Cabin," the latest from M. Night Shyamalan, which has an intriguing premise and some inspired camerawork but turns clunky and muddled. We also review "80 for Brady," an infomercial about Tom Brady which is a cringey waste of its formidable stars: Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, Rita Moreno and Sally Field. In news, we discuss Jafar Panahi's release from prison, "Skinamarink" on Shudder, Andrea Riseborough's Oscar nomination, a "Gladiator" sequel and Paul Thomas Anderson showing "Boogie Nights" in 70mm. And over at our Patreon, we recap episode 5 of "Poker Face," which takes a darker, sadder turn.

We're back in the trenches here at Breakfast All Day. Alonso and Christy catch up with "All Quiet on the Western Front," now that it's been nominated for nine Academy Awards including best picture, international film and cinematography. The stunning historical epic is streaming on Netflix. We're also back with news, including the campaign behind Andrea Riseborough's Oscar nomination for "To Leslie," the huge success of "The Last of Us" on HBO, more announcements from DC Studios, "Attack the Block 2," and the deaths of Television frontman Tom Verlaine and "Laverne & Shirley" star Cindy Williams. And over at our Patreon, we recap that deeply emotional third episode of "The Last of Us." We just passed our goal of 20,000 subscribers on our YouTube Channel, so if you're hanging out with us there, as well, we're grateful. Thanks for sharing some of your time with us!
We review two extremely different movies set in places that only look like paradise on the latest Breakfast All Day. First, Christy and Alonso are split on Brandon Cronenberg's graphic and disturbing "Infinity Pool," starring Mia Goth and Alexander Skarsgard. So many bodily fluids! Then, Nick Bell from the Fish Jelly Film Reviews YouTube channel joins Christy to discuss "Shotgun Wedding," a lifeless Jennifer Lopez rom-com that's streaming on Prime Video. And over at our Patreon, we recap the first four episodes of the Rian Johnson-Natasha Lyonne mystery series "Poker Face" on Peacock, which we're loving. Thanks for joining us!
It's a bit of a low-key week here at Breakfast All Day as we await Oscar nominations. Be sure to join us at our YouTube channel at Noon PST on Tuesday, Jan. 24 for a live discussion of the nominees. For now, we have reviews of a couple new releases: the thriller "Missing," a sorta-sequel to the 2018 hit "Searching," and the indie drama "When You Finish Saving the World," which finds Jesse Eisenberg making his writing-directing debut. In news, we discuss David Crosby, Alec Baldwin, Timothee Chalamet, the Sundance Film Festival and more. And over at our Patreon, we review the 1985 coming-of-age drama "Smooth Talk," starring Laura Dern, for January's Off the Menu. Thanks for joining us!

A quick midweek drop-in to delight and frighten you here at Breakfast All Day. Our good friend William Bibbiani joins Christy for a review of the buzzy, low-budget horror movie "Skinamarink," which is extremely slow and definitely not for everyone, but it's effectively creepy. In news, we actually have some good things to tell you about, including Jeremy Renner recovering from his snowplow accident, the premiere of "The Last of Us" on HBO, the LA Film Critics awards dinner, and Madonna announcing a world tour. And speaking of "The Last of Us," Alonso and Christy recap episode 1 over at our Patreon, and we'll be doing it all season long, so we'd love to have you join us.
Buckle up for the latest episode of Breakfast All Day. Christy and Alonso review the cheesy Gerard Butler action movie "Plane," which we enjoyed way more than we expected. We also review "No Bears," the latest from Iranian master Jafar Panahi, which is one of Alonso's favorite films of 2022. In news, we discuss the tragic passing of Lisa Marie Presley, as well as Golden Globe winners and Screen Actors Guild, Directors Guild and Producers Guild nominees. And over at our Patreon, we recap the emotional last two episodes of "George & Tammy" on Showtime. We're grateful as always to have you with us.

We're catching up with a couple of movies here at Breakfast All Day during these low-key, early weeks of January. Our good friend William Bibbiani joins in for a review of the animated sequel "Puss in Boots: The Last Wish," and we scour the snowy woods for clues in "The Pale Blue Eye" on Netflix. In news, we discuss a couple of big trailers: "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania" and "Beau Is Afraid," plus "M3GAN" box office, Golden Globes and the death of former child star Adam Rich. And over at our Patreon, we recap episodes 3 and 4 of "George & Tammy" on Showtime. Thanks for joining us!
Happy New Year! We've missed you and we're happy to be back here at Breakfast All Day. But before we look ahead to the upcoming year, we share our picks for the best and worst movies of 2022. January starts off on a surprising high note with the delightfully nutty "M3GAN," and our good friend William Bibbiani was kind enough to join in and share his thoughts on this creepy doll horror comedy. And we've got a few items of movie news to share, including Jeremy Renner's snowplow accident, box office for "Avatar: The Way of Water," Lisa Rinna leaving "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" and Noah Schnapp coming out on TikTok. We're glad you're here for all of it!
