Episode 614: Moana (2026), The Man Who Would Be King: Was It Great or Were You 8?, Movie News LIVE!
Everything old is new again this week on Breakfast All Day. Here's what we reviewed in our latest episode: MOANA (2026). If you've seen "Moana" (2016), you've seen "Moana." Disney's going back to the animation well one more time for their latest live-action remake. The songs from Lin-Manuel Miranda are the stars again, but newcomer Catherine Laga'aia has an appealing presence in the title role. Dwayne Johnson is back as the demigod Maui (of course). In theaters. THE MAN WHO WOULD BE KING: WAS IT GREAT OR WERE YOU 8?. This is our favorite game to play. This time, Alonso chose a film from his childhood to see how it holds up today. Sean Connery and Michael Caine co-star in this 1975 action epic from legendary director John Huston. If you've seen it, is it still great? Rentable and streaming in a variety of places. MOVIE NEWS LIVE! Lots to talk about always including early reactions to Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey" (we're seeing it Monday morning and will have an out-of-the-theater reaction), Emmy nominations, the new "Dune: Part Three" trailer, Louise Lasser and more.

Episode 613: Enola Holmes 3 review, Movie News LIVE!
Happy Fourth of July, and Happy 250th, if you're in the United States. We're here to keep you company if you're traveling, heading to the beach or just staying indoors and enjoying the AC because it's too damn hot outside. And if you're joining us from elsewhere in the world, we're delighted you're here. Here's what we reviewed on the latest episode of our Breakfast All Day podcast: ENOLA HOLMES 3. It's not as fun as the first two "Enola Holmes" movies, but watching Millie Bobby Brown break the fourth wall and bust out her comic chops is always a joy. This time, the young detective is preparing to marry Tewkesbury on the island of Malta, but a kidnapping derails her plans. Henry Cavill, Louis Partridge and Helena Bonham Carter co-star. Streaming on Netflix. MOVIE NEWS LIVE! So much to talk about as always, including Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding, the "Backrooms" extended edition, the "Werwulf" trailer, Jon Erwin's use of AI in "Young Washington," Mel Brooks' 100th birthday and more. Join us on Fridays at Noon Pacific. Have a blast and stay safe this holiday weekend! Thanks for sharing some of it with us. Subscribe to Christy's Saturday Matinee newsletter:

Episode 612: Minions & Monsters, Young Washington reviews

Episode 612: Minions & Monsters, Young Washington reviews
Wow, it's July! We have a quick little episode to kick off the month and the second half of the year. Here's what we reviewed on the latest Breakfast All Day podcast: MINIONS & MONSTERS. The third Minion movie and the seventh film in the "Despicable Me" franchise is surprisingly hilarious, as those tiny, yellow chaos agents storm Hollywood and invent cinema as we know it. Lots of classic movie references for the adults in the audience and madcap hilarity for everyone, regardless of age. Allison Janney, Trey Parker, Christoph Waltz and Jesse Eisenberg are among the voice cast. In theaters everywhere now. YOUNG WASHINGTON. Before he was the first president of the United States, George Washington was a scrappy upstart with ambitions and mistakes to make. That's the point of this Angel Studios take on the founding father, set in 1755 Virginia. Starring William Franklyn-Miller, Kelsey Grammer, Ben Kingsley and Mary-Louise Parker. Coming soon to a middle school social studies classroom near you, but playing in theaters starting July 3. We'll be back on Friday with a review of "Enola Holmes 3," plus movie news. See you then, and thanks for sharing some of your summer with us. Subscribe to Christy's Saturday matinee newsletter:

Episode 611: Supergirl, Jackass: Best and Last, Movie News LIVE!
Supergirl may not save humanity, but we're always here for you at Breakfast All Day. Here's what we reviewed in our latest episode: SUPERGIRL. It's getting mostly mixed-negative reviews, and we're on the lower end of that scale. We enjoyed Milly Alcock as the aggressively blasé Kara Zor-El, and we really liked Jason Momoa as the imposing Lobo, but for the most part this "Superman" follow-up is a mess. Matthias Schoenaerts and Eve Ridley co-star. In theaters. JACKASS: BEST AND LAST. After more than a quarter century, Johnny Knoxville and his rowdy, masochistic friends can still make you squirm and howl with laughter at their elaborate stunts. But this final "Jackass" movie is also surprisingly poignant. Kids, don't try this at home. In theaters. MOVIE NEWS LIVE! Always a lot to discuss, including "The Bear," "The Odyssey," Eddie Murphy's "Donkey" movie, Ken Russell's "The Devils," the death of music mogul Clive Davis and more.

Episode 610: The Invite review, Best Movies of 2026 So Far
Come on over for some charcuterie and film criticism on the latest episode of Breakfast All Day. We have an early review of "The Invite," starring Olivia Wilde, Seth Rogen, Penélope Cruz and Edward Norton. They play neighboring couples in a San Francisco apartment building who get together for a hilarious and exquisitely awkward dinner party. Wilde directs from a screenplay by Will McCormack and Rashida Jones, based on the Spanish film "The People Upstairs." Opening in New York and Los Angeles June 26 before expanding nationwide in upcoming weeks. Then, we thought we'd take a moment at the halfway point of the year to highlight our favorite movies so far. We have a little bit of overlap but also some very different titles, including a couple of movies Alonso has seen that we haven't even reviewed yet. What would you put on your list? Let us know!

Episode 609: The Death of Robin Hood, Leviticus, Movie News LIVE!
We already reviewed the big movie of the week -- that would be "Toy Story 5" -- so we wanted to tell you about a couple of cool, new indies on this Friday edition of Breakfast All Day: THE DEATH OF ROBIN HOOD. Hugh Jackman stars in this darkly violent version of the Robin Hood legend. Specifically, he wants no part of it, and would rather live out his final days in peace. Michael Sarnoski's film is beautiful but brutal. Co-starring Jodie Comer, Bill Skarsgård and Murray Bartlett. In theaters. LEVITICUS. Two young men (Joe Bird and Stacy Clausen) fall in love in a decaying Australian mill town. Religious leaders force them into a conversion therapy that makes them fear an enigmatic, threatening version of each other. Writer-director Adrian Chiarella executes this inspired horror concept extremely well in his feature filmmaking debut. In theaters. MOVIE NEWS LIVE! This went extra long because there was so much to talk about, including the "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" trailer, Amazon dropping Luca Guadagnino's Sam Altman movie, Fox buying Roku, "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" at Sphere Las Vegas, and Ben Stiller's New York Knicks documentary.

Episode 608: Toy Story 5 review, Disclosure Day LIVE Spoiler Chat
Got a couple of biggies for you on this midweek drop here at Breakfast All Day. First, we review "Toy Story 5," the latest installment in the beloved Pixar Animation franchise. This is a step up from the fourth film, with some great new additions alongside the characters you know and love. Tom Hanks, Joan Cusack, Greta Lee, Tim Allen and Conan O'Brien co-star. In theaters June 19. We also did a live spoiler chat about "Disclosure Day." There's so much we didn't want to discuss in our non-spoiler review of Steven Spielberg's new sci-fi epic, particularly the ending. But now that the film has been in theaters for several days, it's time to go in-depth. Listen and share your thoughts.

Episode 607: The Furious review, Movie News LIVE!
The big movie of the week is, of course, "Disclosure Day," which we reviewed in our last Breakfast All Day podcast episode. But other movies do exist, namely "The Furious," a thrilling action film hitting theaters with a ton of well-justified buzz. It's as bloody as it is beautifully choreographed. Co-starring Xie Miao and Joe Taslim as unlikely allies teaming up to infiltrate a child trafficking ring in Southeast Asia. In theaters. We also did our weekly Movie News LIVE!

Episode 606: Disclosure Day (NO Spoilers!), Cape Fear (1962), Cape Fear (1991)
"Disclosure Day" is finally here, and we've got an early, spoiler-free review on this midweek episode of our Breakfast All Day podcast. Steven Spielberg's latest sci-fi summer blockbuster finds Emily Blunt and Josh O'Connor trying to understand their connection with the alien world, and each other. Co-starring Colin Firth, Colman Domingo and Eve Hewson. It's in theaters June 12, but we wanted to talk about it as soon as we possibly could. Come back next Tuesday, June 16 for a "Disclosure Day" LIVE spoiler chat. That'll be at Noon Pacific over at our Breakfast All Day YouTube channel.

Episode 605: Masters of the Universe, Scary Movie (2026), Office Romance, Movie News LIVE!
School's out for summer and we've got something for everyone on the latest episode of our Breakfast All Day podcast. Here's what we reviewed: MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE. It's yet another '80s nostalgia trip, this one inspired by the Mattel toys and cartoon series about He-Man and Skeletor. Director Travis Knight finds a cheeky, self-aware tone. Nicholas Galitzine, Jared Leto and Idris Elba star. In theaters. SCARY MOVIE (2026). This is the sixth "Scary Movie" movie if you're keeping track, but the first one in a long time from the Wayans brothers. Name a recent horror movie and they're spoofing it here, with hit-and-miss results. In theaters. OFFICE ROMANCE. Jennifer Lopez is back in rom-com territory as the CEO of an airline who falls for a new lawyer on her staff (Brett Goldstein, who also wrote the script with 'Ted Lasso" co-creator Joe Kelly). We don't agree on whether this raunchy comedy works. Streaming now on Netflix. MOVIE NEWS LIVE!

Episode 604: Pressure review, Backrooms LIVE Spoiler Chat
Happy June! We've got a couple of reviews to kick off your month here at Breakfast All Day: PRESSURE. We're catching up with this ultimate dad movie, which looks like it's about D-Day, but it's actually about weather. A solid, old-fashioned World War II drama. Andrew Scott, Brendan Fraser, Kerry Condon, Damian Lewis and Chris Messina star. In theaters. BACKROOMS LIVE SPOILER CHAT. There's so much we didn't want to ruin in our spoiler-free review of the A24 horror movie last week. But now that it's out -- and so many people have seen it -- we thought it was time to go more in-depth. This was a great conversation.

Episode 603: Backrooms, Power Ballad, The Mandalorian and Grogu LIVE Spoiler Chat, Movie News LIVE!
We're kicking off the weekend with an absolutely packed episode of Breakfast All Day. Here's what we've got for you: BACKROOMS. There's so much buzz and expectation about this steadily creepy horror movie from 20-year-old YouTuber Kane Parsons. It's definitely effective in creating a feeling of unease that lingers long afterward, and it's a wonder of production design. Chiwetel Ejiofor stars as the owner of a furniture store who discovers a sprawl of surreal office spaces. Renate Reinsve is his therapist who tries to save him. Check back for our LIVE spoiler chat on Tuesday at Noon Pacific at our YouTube channel. In theaters. POWER BALLAD. Paul Rudd and Nick Jonas co-star in the latest from writer-director John Carney ("Once," "Sing Street," "Begin Again"). Rudd is a wedding singer who never made it big; Jonas is a pop star who wants to prove he's a serious artist. A night of drinking and collaborating leads to a smash hit, but the credit is in question. We don't agree on this one. In theaters in limited release before opening nationwide June 5. THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU LIVE SPOILER CHAT. Here we go into everything we didn't want to ruin in our non-spoiler review of the latest in the "Star Wars" saga. It's getting wildly mixed reviews -- have you seen it? Listen and let us know your thoughts. MOVIE NEWS LIVE!

Episode 602: I Love Boosters, Tuner, Is God Is, Movie News LIVE!
It's a long holiday weekend, so an extra-long episode of our Breakfast Al Day podcast seems fitting. Here's what we reviewed as we head into Memorial Day: I LOVE BOOSTERS. Boots Riley is back with another maximalist, absurdist comedy. He follows up 2018's "Sorry to Bother You" with the story of a group of women who steal designer clothes and sell them at discount prices. Starring Keke Palmer, Taylour Paige, Naomi Ackie and Demi Moore. In theaters. TUNER. The best new movie of the week. Oscar-winning documentarian Daniel Roher ("Navalny") makes his narrative feature debut with the story of a New York piano tuner (Leo Woodall) who uses his super-sensitive hearing to work as a safecracker on the side. Co-starring Dustin Hoffman and Havana Rose Liu. In limited release now, opening nationwide May 29. IS GOD IS. We got a ton of requests to catch up with this stylish Southern thriller from last week, and we're so glad we did. Writer-director Aleshea Harris adapts her stage play about twins who go on a cross-country road trip of revenge against their father, who tried to kill their mother. Kara Young and Mallori Johnson are both tremendous. This is a must-see. In theaters. MOVIE NEWS LIVE!

Episode 601: The Mandalorian and Grogu (NO Spoilers!), Obsession reviews
It's not exactly an Arthouse Tuesday, but it is a Tuesday here at Breakfast All Day. Here's what we've got for you on our latest episode: THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU (NO Spoilers!). We had a lot of fun with this standalone "Mandalorian" movie, a big-screen version of the Disney+ series. (, in case you'd like to revisit the show with us at our Patreon; these videos are also available for individual purchase for our free members, as is the whole collection.) Pedro Pascal returns as the stoic bounty hunter, alongside his gifted, green sidekick, Grogu. They go on adventures across the galaxy. Summer is here! In theaters Friday. OBSESSION. So many of you asked us to review this, so of course we had to do just that, even though Alonso is admittedly a chicken about horror movies. We both dug this one though, from YouTuber-turned-filmmaker Curry Barker. A meek guy (Michael Johnston) is too afraid to tell the girl of his dreams (a tremendous Inde Navarrette) that he's interested in her, so he buys a novelty item and makes a wish for her to fall in love with him instead. Things do not go as planned. In theaters now. Mark your calendars for Noon Pacific on Friday, May 22, when we'll be back with Movie News LIVE! at our YouTube channel. And join us again at Noon Pacific on Tuesday, May 26, when we'll do a LIVE spoiler chat about "The Mandalorian and Grogu." See you then! Subscribe to Christy's Saturday Matinee newsletter:

Episode 600: Mortal Kombat II, Marty Life Is Short, The Punisher: One Last Kill
It's our 600th episode! And we're marking this auspicious occasion with one of our more random episodes. Here's what we reviewed this week on Breakfast All Day: MORTAL KOMBAT II. This sequel was a huge hit last weekend, so we decided to catch up with it. Plus, we apparently reviewed the first "Mortal Kombat" five years ago, which wasn't a particularly memorable experience for either of us. Karl Urban IS Johnny Cage. As video game adaptations go, it's not terrible, but it's also not stupid enough. In theaters. MARTY, LIFE IS SHORT. The delightful Martin Short is the subject of this warm and affectionate documentary. Name someone you love from the Canadian comedy world and they're probably in this movie. Lawrence Kasdan's film features intimate home movies and candid interviews. Streaming on Netflix. THE PUNISHER: ONE LAST KILL. This one-off installment in the Punisher franchise finds Frank Castle contending with old demons and taking on new foes. Jon Bernthal is a formidable presence as always, and he co-wrote the script with director Reinaldo Marcus Green. Streaming now on Disney+.

Birds of a feather stick together -- and so do sheep -- on this week's episode of the Breakfast All Day podcast. Here's what we reviewed for you: THE SHEEP DETECTIVES. Hugh Jackman stars as a shepherd at a cozy English farm. When he's murdered, the sheep try to figure out who committed the crime. This movie is shockingly great. Co-starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Bryan Cranston, Nicholas Braun, Emma Thompson and Nicholas Galitzine. In theaters. BILLIE EILISH - HIT ME HARD AND SOFT: THE TOUR (LIVE IN 3D): The title is clunky but the movie is thrilling. Eilish co-directed this concert film with James Cameron, captured over four nights in Manchester during her "Hit Me Hard and Soft Tour." It's beautiful and vibrant, intimate and awe-inspiring at once. In theaters. MOVIE NEWS LIVE!

It's s super-stylish Saturday here at Breakfast All Day. We took Friday off to honor the May Day work stoppage, but we're back to kick off your weekend. Here's what we reviewed: THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA 2. Twenty years later, everyone's back at Runway magazine, but Runway magazine is a shell of its former self. This is a sad movie about the state of modern journalism, but the clothes are still fun. Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Stanley Tucci and Emily Blunt star. This one's gonna be huge. In theaters. THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA (2006). Of course we had to go back and review the original film, which was a massive, crowd-pleasing hit that remains infinitely meme-able. It's the definition of the breezy, escapist rom-com. The sequel is very different. HOKUM. Adam Scott goes to Ireland and stays in a charming, countryside inn. Weird things start happening. Writer-director Damian McCarthy's film is a trip, and Scott is great in it. In theaters. MILE END KICKS. We both loved this romantic comedy, which takes place in the cool Montreal neighborhood of Mile End. Barbie Ferreira stars as a young music critic who moves to the city in the summer of 2011 to cover its indie rock scene. From writer-director Chandler Levack. In theaters.

We reviewed the big movie of the weekend, the Michael Jackson biopic "Michael," on Tuesday. But there are plenty of other new releases as we await the summer crush. Here's what we discussed in the latest episode of our Breakfast All Day podcast: OVER YOUR DEAD BODY. Samara Weaving and Jason Segel play a miserable married couple who go on a weekend getaway to work on their relationship -- or so they've told each other. Timothy Olyphant and Juliette Lewis co-star in this twisty action comedy from director Jorma Taccone ("Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping"). In theaters. I SWEAR. Robert Aramayo was the surprise best actor winner at the BAFTAs this year for his portrayal of John Davidson, a Scottish man with Tourette syndrome. Writer-director Kirk Jones' film is formulaic in its depiction of adversity, but its heart is in the right place. Maxine Peake, Shirley Henderson and Scott Ellis Watson co-star. In theaters. MOVIE NEWS LIVE! Always a lot to talk about, including "Michael" reactions, early footage of "The Mandalorian & Grogu," casting on Alex Garland's "Elden Ring" movie and more.

Name a movie with a name in the title and we're reviewing it on the latest episode of Breakfast All Day. Here's what we've got for you: MICHAEL. It's the Michael Jackson movie. If you've seen a music biopic, you've seen this. Jaafar Jackson, Michael's nephew, does a really impressive job of portraying the King of Pop. But we have lots of thoughts on this in our early review. Opens nationwide Friday. THE CHRISTOPHERS. We're so glad we caught up with the latest from Steven Soderbergh, which came out while Christy was away on spring break. Michaela Coel plays an art forger hired to finish a series of canvases from a legendary, aging painter (Ian McKellen) before he dies. The two have terrific, snappy chemistry. In theaters now.

Episode 595: Lee Cronin's The Mummy, Mother Mary, Movie News LIVE!
Between Mummy and Mother and Movie News, it's a marvelous Friday at Breakfast All Day. Here's what we've got for you: LEE CRONIN'S THE MUMMY. A little girl disappears from her family in Cairo, only to return eight years later as ... well, she's no longer their little girl. The central mystery in writer-director Lee Cronin's reimagining of the Mummy mythology is what happened to her and how to unravel it. This movie is super gross. It's also way too long. In theaters. MOTHER MARY. Anne Hathaway is a Lady Gaga-style pop diva with hopes of reinventing herself. The one person she can turn to for help is her longtime costume designer and collaborator (Michaela Coel), with whom she had a falling out years ago. The latest from writer-director David Lowery takes some wild swings and will be hugely divisive. In limited release this weekend, opening wide April 24. MOVIE NEWS LIVE! It's been a month since we've done a news livestream, so we had so much to catch up on, including announcements out of CinemaCon, the latest in the Paramount/WB merger, Eurovision, the Billie Eilish concert movie and more.

We're back in town and catching up with a mid-week drop here at Breakfast All Day. First, we reviewed "Outcome," a star-studded satire from director, co-writer and co-star Jonah Hill. Keanu Reeves plays an A-list actor who must go on an apology tour when he becomes the target of an extortion scheme. This is not a good movie but it's got an incredible cast, including Cameron Diaz, Matt Bomer, Roy Wood Jr., Susan Lucci and Martin Scorsese. Streaming now on Apple TV. Then, as promised, we did a LIVE spoiler conversation about "The Drama."

Episode 593: Marc by Sofia, My Undesirable Friends: Part 1 - Last Air in Moscow, Little Darlings: Was It Great or Were You 8?
It's spring break, but we'd never leave you entirely here at Breakfast All Day. We stockpiled a few goodies for you while Christy's off skiing, including a Documentary Tuesday with two very different films: MARC BY SOFIA. Sofia Coppola explores the life and career of her friend of 30-plus years, fashion designer Marc Jacobs, in this intimate and fascinating documentary. If you like process and '90s nostalgia, this one's for you. In theaters. MY UNDESIRABLE FRIENDS: PART 1- LAST AIR IN MOSCOW. This was on both of our top-10 lists last year, so we're thrilled that it's now available for you to watch, as well. Julia Loktev's 5 1/2-hour doc follows a group of independent Russian TV journalists as Putin is invading Ukraine. They continue doing their jobs as they find themselves increasingly in danger. Streaming on MUBI. LITTLE DARLINGS: Was It Great, or Were You 8?: It's our favorite game, where we revisit movies from our childhood to determine whether they truly were great, or we just remember them fondly. This time it was Christy's turn, and she chose "Little Darlings," a film that seemed so racy to her in 1980. Tatum O'Neal and Kristy McNichol star as summer campers from opposite ends of the economic spectrum competing to see who can lose her virginity first. Armand Assante, Matt Dillon and a very young Cynthia Nixon co-star. Play along and let us know what you think! Thanks for sticking with us. We'll be back to a more normal schedule next week, including a . Join us at our YouTube channel at Noon Pacific time on Tuesday, April 14. Hope to see you then.

Episode 592: The Drama, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie reviews

Episode 592: The Drama, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie reviews
A quick episode as we head into spring break here at Breakfast All Day, but it's got a couple of big movies. Here's what we reviewed for you this week: THE DRAMA (No Spoilers!). Lots of buzz about this A24 romance starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, but it may not be the movie you were expecting. There's a shocking twist surrounding this engaged couple in the week before their wedding, which threatens to upend everything. We have mixed feelings on this film. In theaters. THE SUPER MARIO GALAXY MOVIE. The sequel to 2023's "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" is critic proof, but we thought we'd review it anyway. Everyone's back -- Mario and Luigi and Princess Peach and Boswer -- but now another powerful princess is in danger. It's bright and shiny and colorful and very much for kids. In theaters. Check back with us on Tuesday, April 14 at Noon Pacific, when we'll do a LIVE spoiler chat about "The Drama." We wanted to give people a chance to see the movie before digging into everything that happens. This is definitely a movie you're going to want to talk about afterward. Thanks for being here!

Episode 591: They Will Kill You, Forbidden Fruits reviews

Episode 591: They Will Kill You, Forbidden Fruits reviews
It's a bit of a quiet week here at Breakfast All Day as "Project Hail Mary" continues to dominate the post-Oscar box office and Alonso is traveling. But! We have reviews of a couple of movies that we don't agree on, and they both happen to be horror comedies: THEY WILL KILL YOU. Zazie Beetz takes on a high-rise full of wealthy Satan worshippers who ... want to kill her. That may sound a lot like last week's "Ready or Not 2: Here I Come," but it's got its own crazy, hyper-stylized action. Think of it as "John Wick" by way of Looney Tunes. In theaters. FORBIDDEN FRUITS. Lili Reinhart stars as the queen bee at the hottest clothing store, with co-workers who follow her around and obey her every rule. And they all happen to be named for fruits. But a new employee threatens to undermine her dominance. Think of it as "Mean Girls" in a Dallas mall. In theaters. Thanks to all the great folks who joined us at the Gardena Cinema last weekend for "After Hours"! We'll plan another in-person event soon. Subscribe to Christy's Saturday Matinee newsletter:

Episode 590: Ready or Not 2: Here I Come review, Movie News
It's quiet lately as we recover from the Oscars here at Breakfast All Day. We reviewed the week's big, new movie, "Project Hail Mary" in an earlier episode. And we didn't do our usual Friday livestream because of some schedule juggling. BUT! We did review "Ready or Not 2: Here I Come," the sequel to the 2019 horror comedy hit "Ready or Not." Can you believe there are more Satan-worshipping billionaires trying to kill Samara Weaving? That's in theaters this weekend. And we touched on a few news items off the top, including the big box office opening for "Project Hail Mary," new trailers in the "Spider-Man" and "Dune" franchises (it's Zendaya Day!), and a few thoughts on the passing of Chuck Norris. Thanks for joining us. Come hang out with Christy and Alonso and watch "After Hours" at the Gardena Cinema! We're showing Martin Scorsese's 1985 comedy on Saturday, March 21. Doors open at 6pm, we'll chat with folks in the lobby, then the movie starts at 7. Subscribe to Christy's Saturday Matinee newsletter:

Episode 589: 2026 Oscar Reactions LIVE Chat!
There was so much to talk about at this year's Oscars that we wanted to come back the next day for more. This is the audio of the we did on our Breakfast All Day YouTube channel. How accurately did you pick the winners? Did you have "One Battle After Another" or "Sinners" for best picture? And what did you think of the speeches, the gowns, and Conan's wacky sketches?

Episode 588: Project Hail Mary, It's Dorothy!, Movie News LIVE!
We're taking it easy as we head into this busy Oscar weekend at Breakfast All Day. Here's what we reviewed in our latest episode: PROJECT HAIL MARY. This is a super-early review of the Ryan Gosling-in-space comedy, which doesn't even come out until March 20. But there's so much expectation for it, we wanted to share our throughts as soon as we could. Phil Lord and Christopher Miller direct from a script by Drew Goddard, based on the Andy Weir novel. In theaters next weekend. IT'S DOROTHY! This documentary provides a fresh and clever perspective on the character of Dorothy Gale and the cultural significance of "The Wizard of Oz" in all its incarnations. Writer-director-editor Jeffrey McHale is a friend of ours ( about his "Showgirls" documentary with the brilliant title "You Don't Nomi"), so we didn't give this a number, but genuinely liked the movie so much that we wanted to tell you about it. Streaming on Peacock. MOVIE NEWS LIVE! Our last one before the Academy Awards. Lots to discuss including Timothée Chalamet angering the ballet and opera communities, a sequel for "KPop Demon Hunters," the George Michael "Faith Tour" movie, a Stewie spin-off from "Family Guy" and more.

Episode 587: 2026 Oscar Predictions LIVE Chat With Glenn Whipp
It's one of our favorite days during awards season: when our great friend Glenn Whipp of the Los Angeles Times joins us to help out with Oscar picks. Glenn covers awards races year-round, and always has lots of insider insight. The three of us don't agree on everything -- we're split on best picture, for example -- but other categories like best actress seem pretty clear at this point. What do you hope to see win? What do you think will win? And are those the same thing? . Bring it with you on Sunday night, when we'll be doing out annual Oscar livestream. We'll be at our Breakfast All Day YouTube channel starting at 330pm Pacific time on Sunday, March 15, and the ceremony begins at 4. Link to that coming soon. And whether or not you can make it on Sunday night, we're also doing a reaction livestream at 9am Pacific time on Monday. We look forward to seeing you and hearing your thoughts!

Episode 586: The Bride!, The Voice of Hind Rajab, The Perfect Neighbor, Mr. Nobody Against Putin, Movie News LIVE!
It's an absolutely packed episode a week away from the Oscars. We're playing some catch-up with nominees and we've got one monster of a new release. Here's what we have for you: THE BRIDE! That exclamation point says it all. Writer-director Maggie Gyllenhaal's wild and bold update of "The Bride of Frankenstein" mixes tones and genres in a way that's dividing critics (including us). Jessie Buckley and Christian Bale co-star. In theaters. THE VOICE OF HIND RAJAB. The last of the five nominees in the best international feature category for us to discuss here. Tunisian filmmaker Kaouther Ben Hania mixes the real-life audio of a 5-year-old Palestinian trapped in a car in Gaza with actors playing the emergency operators on the other end of the line. We don't agree on this film, either, but it has moved many audiences deeply. Available for online rental. THE PERFECT NEIGHBOR. Nominated for best documentary feature, this Netflix film is composed entirely of deputies' body cam footage of a neighborhood where a deadly shooting ripped the multicultural community apart. We think this is the front-runner for the Academy Award, if only because it's probably the one most people saw (plus, it's great). Streaming now. MR. NOBODY AGAINST PUTIN. Russian school teacher Pavel Talankin bravely documents Putin's propagandist efforts to indoctrinate young minds at the start of the Ukraine invasion. You come to really care about him and the kids in his care, particularly the teens who are facing an uncertain future. This is also up for the best documentary feature Oscar. Available for online rental. MOVIE NEWS LIVE! Another busy week between early reactions to "The Bride!", HBO Max and Paramount + merging into one streaming platform, Daryl Hannah's op-ed about how she's portrayed in Ryan Murphy's "Love Story," the "Little House on the Prairie" reboot, and Catherine O'Hara's posthumous Actor Award. Join us here on Fridays at Noon Pacific. Thanks for being here! Make sure to join us Tuesday at Noon Pacific for our Oscar predictions livestream with Glenn Whipp from the LA Times:

Episode 585: Scream 7 (NO Spoilers!), In the Blink of an Eye, Movie News LIVE!
The end of February is a cinematic wasteland -- you're better off catching up with Oscar nominees -- but if you'd like to see a new movie, we've got you covered here at Breakfast All Day. Here's what we reviewed on our latest episode. SCREAM 7. It's the seventh "Scream" movie, so you can imagine how totally bereft of fresh ideas they are by now. But hey, Neve Campbell is back. This is a non-spoiler review. In theaters. IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE. Legendary Pixar director Andrew Stanton ("Finding Nemo," "WALL-E") makes a rare live-action movie: a maudlin slog about intertwined lives across the past, present and future. Kate McKinnon, Rashida Jones and Daveed Diggs star. Streaming on Hulu. MOVIE NEWS LIVE! So much to talk about, including Skydance Paramount potentially taking over Warner Bros., the Actor Awards on Sunday, "Heated Rivalry" season 2, Rock n Roll Hall of Fame nominees, Gwyneth Paltrow auctioning off her clothes for charity, and more.
