It might be a wild week coming up, so we're self-soothing with fun-size Halloween candy and inane rom-coms on the latest Breakfast All Day. Alonso, Matt and Christy review "Holidate" on Netflix, the lovely documentary "The Donut King," the sequel "The Craft: Legacy" and the trippy, time-traveling thriller "Synchronic." We're chock full of news, including the Dodgers winning the World Series (and Justin Turner testing positive for covid), how we're feeling heading into Tuesday's election, sex cult leader Keith Raniere receiving a life sentence and Kim Kardashian's 40th birthday, complete with a private island celebration and a hologram of her dad. It's a lot! And over at our Patreon, we're thrilled about the return of "The Mandalorian" on Disney+, we dip into the other docuseries about NXIVM, "Seduced" on STARZ, and we review the Off the Menu horror movie our subscribers chose for us, 1977's batshit crazy "Hausu" from Japan. Please keep in touch with us as this week goes along and let us know how you're doing during this tumultuous time — and thanks for spending some of that time with us.
Great success! We are back in U S and A with our very nice podcast, Breakfast All Day. Matt, Alonso and Christy begin this busy week with a review of the hotly awaited sequel "Borat Subsequent Moviefilm" and have wildly mixed opinions on Sacha Baron Cohen's latest (but we all agree that co-star Maria Bakalova is tremendous). We also discuss Sofia Coppola's lovely "On the Rocks," the disappointing new version of "Rebecca" on Netflix, the inspired B-horror satire "Bad Hair" from Justin Simien and the restored documentary "Nationtime," a fascinating time capsule from 1972. In news, we talk about old dudes' junk between Jeffrey Toobin and Rudy Giuliani, the final presidential debate, Jeff Bridges' cancer diagnosis and "Dawson's Creek" returning to Netflix among many other topics. And over at our Patreon, we recap the gripping season finales of "Lovecraft Country" and "The Vow" on HBO and ponder watching the Starz docuseries about NXIVM, because we just can't get enough of our favorite pyramid scheme/sex cult. Thanks so much for spending some time with us during these crazy fall days, and we hope you're doing well.
This must be the place for one of the best movies of the year on Breakfast All Day. Christy and Alonso were thrilled to talk about "David Byrne's American Utopia," Spike Lee's gorgeous and joyous concert film. We also reviewed Aaron Sorkin's "The Trial of the Chicago 7," with its blindingly starry cast, and "Honest Thief," which is a middling, late-career Liam Neeson action vehicle. Matt joins in for news, which includes a second season of "The Vow," a Mad Max prequel focusing on Furiosa and the death of longtime character actress Conchata Ferrell. And speaking of "The Vow," we recap the latest episode on our Patreon along with "Lovecraft Country," both of which are about to wrap up on HBO. Hope you folks are hanging in there, and thanks for joining us!
During these insane times, it feels so good to laugh, and we did a lot of that this week on Breakfast All Day. We have one of our most spirited arguments in a while over Adam Sandler's latest Netflix comedy, "Hubie Halloween." Christy, Matt and Alonso also disagree on just how terrible the Robert De Niro family comedy "The War With Grandpa" is. But we have some bright spots, too: the HBO Max coming-of-age drama "Charm City Kings" and the documentary "Totally Under Control," a damning look at the White House's mishandling of the coronavirus from Alex Gibney & Co. In news, we discuss death of Eddie Van Halen, new release dates for a bunch of big movies including "Dune" and "Jurassic World: Dominion" and the upcoming "West Wing" reunion fundraiser. And over at our Patreon, we recap the latest episodes of HBO's "Lovecraft Country" and "The Vow." Hope you're finding reasons to laugh this week, too, and we thank you for spending time with us.
What a year the past couple of days have been. We have an insane amount of news for you on the latest episode of Breakfast All Day, including President Trump and many others in his orbit testing positive for coronavirus and the massive fallout that's ensued. But we are a film review podcast first and foremost, so Christy, Alonso and Matt discuss "The Boys in the Band," "The Glorias," "Dick Johnson Is Dead" and "Save Yourselves!" And over at our Patreon, we recap the latest episodes of "Lovecraft Country" and "The Vow" on HBO. Please continue being safe and taking care of yourselves and your loved ones, and thanks for spending some of your time with us.
Millie Bobby Brown gives a radiant lead performance in "Enola Holmes," one of several movies we review this week on Breakfast All Day. Besides the Netflix adventure, Christy, Matt and Alonso discuss Miranda July's latest, the strange, sweet and singular "Kajillionaire," and "Misbehaviour," based on the true story of the feminist rebellion that shook the 1970 Miss World Pageant. In news, we remember the life and legacy of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and discuss two recent movies about her: "RBG" and "On the Basis of Sex." Also: new release dates for "Black Widow" and "West Side Story," Alamo Drafthouse's effort to get folks back in the theater, the Emmys and Vin Diesel's bizarre attempt at a music career. And over at our Patreon, we recap the latest episodes of HBO's "Lovecraft Country" (which was amazing) and "The Vow," and we revisit the 1969 James Bond film "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" in honor of the late Diana Rigg. We hope you're doing well, and thanks as always for joining us.
It's a week of heavy emotions on Breakfast All Day — and we recorded this episode before the tragic news broke of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's passing. But Christy, Alonso and Matt do have film reviews for you of the ambitious but deeply misguided "Antebellum," the sprawling, Southern Netflix drama "The Devil All the Time," the powerfully acted "The Nest" (which will end up being one of the best movies of the year) and the documentary "The Way I See It," about former official White House photographer Pete Souza. In news, we discuss the "Cuties" controversy (and Christy has a quick review of the film), Chris Evans' leaked dick pic and the star-studded "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" table read. And over at our Patreon, we recap episode 5 of "Lovecraft Country" (which was excellent) and episode 4 of "The Vow," both on HBO. Hope you're all hanging in there, and thanks as always for hanging out with us for a little while.
The world is on fire — literally — but we're here to protect you, or at least distract you, at Breakfast All Day. On our latest episode, Matt, Alonso and Christy review the completely charming romantic comedy "The Broken Hearts Gallery," the Helen Reddy biopic "I Am Woman," the enlightening documentary "The Sit-In: Harry Belafonte Hosts The Tonight Show," and "Unpregnant," which is sort of a comic version of "Never Rarely Sometimes Always." But it works! (And we love the fact that women directed all four movies we reviewed this week.) In news, Christy tells the guys about her trip to see "Tenet," and we discuss the Toronto International Film Festival and the Academy's new diversity requirements for best-picture contenders. And over at our Patreon, we recap the latest episodes of "Lovecraft Country" and "The Vow" on HBO. Stay safe, and thanks for staying with us.
The thrilling "Mulan" should have been a huge summer blockbuster in the theaters; now, you can watch it at home on Disney+, and we have a Breakfast All Day review. Alonso, Matt and Christy also talk about the latest mind-bending drama from writer-director Charlie Kaufman, "I'm Thinking of Ending Things"; Armando Iannucci's take on Dickens with "The Personal History of David Copperfield"; and "Lingua Franca," a lovely indie drama from transgender writer-director-star Isabel Sandoval. In news, we remember the great Chadwick Boseman, whose death from colon cancer shocked the world last week, and the guys and Christy debate whether she should drive to San Diego County to see "Tenet." And over at our Patreon, we recap the latest episodes of "Lovecraft Country" and "The Vow" on HBO. Things are heating up as summer comes to an end, so join us!
It's Bill and Ted and Phineas and Ferb to the rescue, just when we need them most, on Breakfast All Day. Christy, Alonso and Matt review a couple of movies this week that have an infectious joy and an underlying sweetness, but you'll probably appreciate them more if you're already a fan: "Bill & Ted Face the Music," which reunites Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter as those most bodacious dudes, and "Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Candace Against the Universe," a feature-length version of the hilarious, animated Disney Channel series. We also have an eventful news segment, including pro athletes protesting police brutality, the release of "Tenet" (finally) and Jim Gaffigan proclaiming himself as part of the #Resistance. And over at our Patreon, we recap episode two of the excellent "Lovecraft Country" and we start in on "The Vow," the docuseries about the NXIVM sex cult, both on HBO. Be excellent to each other, and party on, dudes.
