Episode 578: Mercy, The Testament of Ann Lee, Come See Me in the Good Light

Breakfast All Day movie reviews

It's Oscar nominations week, so we're playing catch up as well as slogging through some extremely January movies. We recorded these reviews before Thursday's Academy announcement, so we have a couple of updates for you: Amanda Seyfried didn't get a nomination for "The Testament of Ann Lee," but "Come See Me in the Good Light" did make it into the documentary feature category. Here's what we discussed: MERCY. Chris Pratt is a police detective accused of killing his wife in a futuristic hellscape of Los Angeles. He has 90 minutes to prove his innocence before an AI judge (Rebecca Ferguson) or...

Episode 577: 2026 Oscar Nominations LIVE Chat!

Breakfast All Day movie reviews

It's our favorite morning of the year! Or one of them, at least. We had a great turnout for our annual on our YouTube channel. In case you missed it, here it is in podcast form. Ryan Coogler's Southern Gothic vampire musical "Sinners" made history with 16 nominations, including best picture, director and the new category of casting. Paul Thomas Anderson's "One Battle After Another" was second with 13. We woke up bright and early to talk about the nominations that excited us (Delroy Lindo! Amy Madigan!) and the omissions that surprised us (nothing for "Wicked: For Good" or "No Other Choice")....

Episode 576: 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, The Rip, The Secret Agent, Movie News LIVE!

Breakfast All Day movie reviews

We're taking a trip to The Bone Temple this week on Breakfast All Day, but don't worry. Ralph Fiennes has great taste in music, it'll be super fun. Here's what we've reviewed lately: 28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE. This picks up right where Danny Boyle's "28 Years Later" left off in 2025, but Nia DaCosta's film is very different: thrilling and terrifying in its own way, but also more somber, but also funny ...? Fiennes is insane here. In theaters. THE RIP. Matt Damon and Ben Affleck lead an all-star cast as Miami cops whose team stumbles upon a massive stash of drug money in this twisty...

Episode 575: 2026 Golden Globes LIVE Reaction Chat!

Breakfast All Day movie reviews

So much happened at this year's Golden Globes that we decided kinda last minute to do a reaction livestream the next day. Thanks so much to the folks who joined us and shared their thoughts on everything from the winners to Nikki Glaser's monologue to the inane running commentary as celebrities walked to the stage. We also wondered about the conspicuous absence of any kind of political commentary, particularly during this time of turmoil. Did you watch the Globes? What did you think? We turned the audio from our livestream into a podcast episode, but if you'd like to watch the video instead,...

Episode 574: Primate, Song Sung Blue, Movie News LIVE!, Marty Supreme LIVE Spoiler Chat

Breakfast All Day movie reviews

We have an extra-long episode to kick off 2026 here at Breakfast All Day. Earlier this week, we posted our lists of the best and worst movies of 2025. Now, we're looking at new movies and chatting about movie news and spoilers: PRIMATE. A brilliant, highly-trained chimpanzee gets bitten by a rabid mongoose and goes on a homicidal rampage. It's the first week of January, but this gory horror movie is better than its calendar placement would suggest. In theaters. SONG SUNG BLUE. We're catching up with this crowd-pleaser from writer-director Craig Brewer ("Hustle & Flow," "Footloose"),...

Episode 573: Best and Worst Movies of 2025

Breakfast All Day movie reviews

Sure, the calendar says 2026, but we couldn't begin the year in earnest without looking back at the best and worst movies of 2025. This is an event, so it gets its own separate episode. What are your favorite movies from last year? What was the biggest waste of your time? Let us know if your picks align with ours, and here's to all good things in the new year!

Episode 572: Marty Supreme, Anaconda (2025) w/William Bibbiani, No Other Choice

Breakfast All Day movie reviews

It's our final Breakfast All Day episode of 2025! And we have some great stuff and some not-so great stuff for you as we wrap up the year. All of these movies will be in theaters on Christmas Day: MARTY SUPREME. Timothée Chalamet gives an electrifying performance as a 1950s table tennis phenom. We both loved the film from writer and co-director Josh Safdie, which has the kind of kinetic, propulsive energy we've come to expect from the Safdie brothers as a whole. Gwyneth Paltrow and Odessa A'zion co-star. ANACONDA (2025). Our good friend William Bibbiani -- you know him as Bibbs -- has...

Episode 571: The Housemaid (NO Spoilers!), Is This Thing On?, Movie News LIVE!

Breakfast All Day movie reviews

We've got a little stocking stuffer for you here at Breakfast All Day. Lots of big movies coming out over the next couple of weeks, including "Avatar: Fire and Ash," which we reviewed on Tuesday. As for the weekend's other new releases, here's what we have for you: THE HOUSEMAID. Deliciously twisty trash starring Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried, who definitely knew the assignment. Because this is a Paul Feig movie (based on a best-selling novel), the clothes and interiors are to die for. This is a non-spoiler review, because you deserve to enjoy all the wild surprises in store for you. In...

Episode 570: Avatar: Fire and Ash (NO Spoilers!), Remembering Rob Reiner, Rental Family

Breakfast All Day movie reviews

There's so much happening right now that we had to do a midweek visit with you here at Breakfast All Day. First, we reviewed the big movie of the week, "Avatar: Fire and Ash." James Cameron just keeps making "Avatar" movies, so we'll keep reviewing them. At least this time, Oona Chaplin adds an element of crazy-sexy danger as the leader of a tribe that's challenging the Na'vi. In theaters this Friday. Of course, we had to honor Rob Reiner, who was shockingly slain in his Brentwood home over the weekend alongside his wife, Michele. Since we recorded this, the couple's son, Nick, has been...

Episode 569: Ella McCay (With Tim Grierson), Dust Bunny reviews

Breakfast All Day movie reviews

We're holding it together with ribbons and Scotch tape this week on Breakfast All Day. Alonso is off promoting the new edition of his book, so here's what we've got for you: ELLA McCAY: Yes, it is as baffling as you've heard. Thankfully, Tim Grierson from Screen International returns to help try and make sense of it. The latest film from Oscar-winner James L. Brooks stars Emma Mackey as a young lieutenant governor who must step up and lead her state, but various personal and professional crises get in the way. Jamie Lee Curtis, Albert Brooks and Woody Harrelson are among the impressive...

More Episodes

It's a huge weekend at the movies! Here's what we reviewed for you in the latest episode of our Breakfast All Day podcast:

PREDATOR: BADLANDS: We were shocked at how much we enjoyed this. It's a blast of a summer popcorn movie, dropped right in the middle of prestige movie season. And you don't need to know much about the Predator franchise going into it. (FYI, some light spoilers here.) In theaters.
SENTIMENTAL VALUE: A major awards contender, and possibly the best movie of the year (according to Christy, at least). The latest from director and co-writer Joachim Trier ("The Worst Person in the World") is a moving family drama starring Stellan Skarsgård and Renate Reinsve. In theaters.
DIE MY LOVE: Jennifer Lawrence absolutely goes for it in this harrowing story of post-partum depression. Director Lynne Ramsay puts Lawrence through the wringer in her role as a new mom navigating the isolation of a Montana farmhouse. Robert Pattinson co-stars as her husband. In theaters.
CHRISTY: Of course we had to review this. Sydney Sweeney transforms herself to play Christy Martin, the coal miner's daughter who became a trailblazer in the world of women's boxing. Ben Foster is chilling as her abusive trainer and husband. But this is a pretty standard sports biopic. In theaters.

No movie news livestream this week because Christy is traveling. Come back and see us at our YouTube channel next Friday, Nov. 14 at Noon Pacific. Have a great weekend!
