It's a quick Tuesday catch-up on Breakfast All Day as Matt, Alonso and Christy review the films we meant to discuss last week but instead devoted an hour to Black Lives Matters protests and coronavirus news. There's some good stuff out there: the trippy literary drama "Shirley," which may end up being one of Christy's favorite movies of the year; the ambitious and anachronistic "Judy & Punch"; and "I'm No Longer Here," a Mexican drama that's so beautiful, you'll wish you were watching it on the big screen instead on on Netflix. And over at our Patreon, we discuss the latest Sunday night ESPN 30 for 30, the Bruce Lee documentary "Be Water." We'll return on Friday with new releases, so come on back, and thanks for hanging out with us.
It's been a difficult week/month/year in our country and throughout the world, and we just couldn't wrap our brains around watching movies and talking about them on the latest Breakfast All Day. It all seemed too frivolous. Instead, Alonso, Matt and Christy discuss the state of things — nationwide protests against police brutality following the killing of George Floyd, peaceful demonstrations and violence in the streets, what things have looked and felt like in our worlds and how the entertainment industry has responded. (That catchy little ditty you hear off the top is "Lose Yo Job" by iMarkkeyz feat. DJ Suede the Remix God. And since we're all in desperate need of a laugh, the video version is hilarious.) Plus, of course, we're still in the middle of a pandemic. We talk about all of this in what is essentially an extended news segment, complete with the latest movie marquee photos our listeners and viewers have been kind enough to send us. And we steer you guys in the direction of where you can stream some great, timely movies for free — including the documentaries "I Am Not Your Negro" and "Whose Streets?", as well as "Selma" which Paramount is making available through June 30. Please let us know how you're doing, and thanks for sticking with us.
It's a crazy world we're living in lately so we're especially happy to see each other's friendly faces this week on Breakfast All Day. Plus we have the added bonus of Ben joining us for Coronavirus news and a revisit of the Robert Altman 1974 classic "California Split" — which is now available for streaming on Amazon Prime — and it's always a treat to see him. As for new movies, Alonso, Matt and Christy review "The High Note," which was surprisingly delightful, and the ambitious sci-fi indie "The Vast of Night." (If you'd like to jump right to our new reviews, they begin around 1:30.) Over at our Patreon, we recap the series finale of "Mrs. America," which we loved, as well as episodes 3 and 4 of "The Great," both on Hulu. And for our latest Off the Menu review, we discuss 2011's "Your Sister's Sister" in honor of the late Lynn Shelton. Hold tight to each other, and thanks for sticking with us.
You can't go on vacation in real life these days but you can enjoy "The Trip to Greece," one of many movies we review this week on Breakfast All Day. Christy, Matt and Alonso also discuss "The Lovebirds" with Issa Rae and Kumail Nanjiani, the feel-good British comedy "Military Wives," the police horror movie "Body Cam" and "Out," a lovely Disney+ short. As always, we start with our weekly Coronavirus update, including the news that the #ReleasetheSnyderCut campaign actually seemed to work. And over at our Patreon, we recap the penultimate episode of "Mrs. America" and the first two episodes of "The Great," both on Hulu. Thanks for sticking with us as we head into summer, and hope you're doing well.
Zoinks! Did we ever hate "Scoob!" on this week's Breakfast All Day. Matt, Alonso and Christy also review the latest Happy Madison debacle, "The Wrong Missy," Tom Hardy's exquisitely terrible "Capone," the fascinating documentary "Spaceship Earth" and the well-acted indie drama "Mother's Little Helpers." And of course, we begin as always with an update on Coronavirus news, including Christopher Nolan's intent to have "Tenet" reopen theaters on July 17. And over at our Patreon, we recap episode 7 of "Mrs. America" on Hulu. Hop in the Mystery Machine and join us!
Like, omigod, it is so totally awesome of you to stop by the Breakfast All Day Podcast this week! Alonso, Matt and Christy review the musical remake of "Valley Girl" (which Christy wishes she liked more), the documentaries "Becoming" (about Michelle Obama) and "A Secret Love" (about a longtime lesbian couple) and the warm, gentle drama "Driveways." Plus, we begin as we always do these days with a recap of the week's Coronavirus news. And over at our Patreon, we discuss the season finale of "Westworld" on HBO and the latest episode of "Mrs. America" on Hulu. Tease your bangs up, pop your collar and meet us at the mall — and thanks for hanging out with us.
The band is back together! It's been a year since we've all been in the same place at the same time so we are thrilled to have Ben with us this week, if briefly and remotely, on the latest Breakfast All Day. He joins us for our weekly Coronavirus update before Christy, Alonso and Matt launch into reviews of "Bad Education" on HBO and "The Half of It" and "All Day and a Night" on Netflix. And over at our Patreon, Ben and Alonso discuss the series finale of "Homeland." Plus Christy, Matt and Alonso do an Off the Menu review of the movie you chose for us, the original 1973 "The Wicker Man," and recap the latest on "Westworld" and "Mrs. America." Thanks for sticking with us, and here's to a better month.
Only Chris Hemsworth as a hunky, black-market mercenary named Tyler Rake could pull us out of the morass in which we've found ourselves. His Netflix action extravaganza, "Extraction," is one of several movies we review this week on Breakfast All Day. Christy, Alonso and Matt also discuss the excellent Apple+ documentary "Beastie Boys Story," the stylish drama "True History of the Kelly Gang" and a couple of quasi-related documentaries: "Circus of Books" and "The Booksellers." But before all that, we begin as we always do with an update of coronavirus news. And over at our Patreon, we recap the gripping series finale of "The Plot Against America" as well as the latest episodes of "Westworld" and "Mrs. America.'' Hope you're all safe and well, and we're happy to have you with us from afar.
It's sort of a blah week movie-wise and otherwise, but we're happy to see each other and you on the latest Breakfast All Day. Alonso, Matt and Christy begin as always with Coronavirus news (including the cancellation of Comic-Con and Taylor Swift's 2020 concert tour) before moving on to a truly random mix of film reviews: the lame Netflix rom-com "Love Wedding Repeat," the horror satire (we think) "We Summon the Darkness," Shea Whigham vs. Michael Shannon in "The Quarry," the romantic drama "Endings, Beginnings" (which Matt accurately describes as Mumbledore "Reality Bites"), and the Irish thriller "Sea Fever." And over at our Patreon, we dig into the first three episodes of the excellent Hulu series "Mrs. America" as well as recap the latest on HBO's "Westworld" and "The Plot Against America." Hope you're all staying safe and well, and thanks for staying with us.
We've got plenty of options to keep you occupied while you're stuck inside on this week's Breakfast All Day. Alonso, Matt and Christy begin as always with our weekly Coronavirus update, discussing how the disease is impacting the industry as well as good things like concerts you can enjoy remotely. We also have a ton of reviews for you: the sequel "Trolls World Tour," the lovely Netflix drama "Tigertail," the terrible Netflix comedy "Coffee & Kareem," Ken Loach's latest, the searing "Sorry We Missed You," and a couple of Disneynature documentaries you can watch on Disney+: "Dolphin Reef" and "Elephant." And over at our Patreon, we recap the latest episodes of "Westworld" and "The Plot Against America" on HBO. No crying this week, we promise! Hope you're doing well and thanks as always for spending time with us.
