We never disagree this much, but two new Christmas movies have inspired very different opinions from us on the latest episode of Breakfast All Day.
First, we review "Red One," starring Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans as the only two people on the planet who can save Santa Claus (J.K. Simmons) when he's kidnapped. This is a $250 million blockbuster featuring major, A-list stars, but it's not exactly shaping up to be a huge hit. Do you plan on seeing it? Let us know. It's in theaters now.
Then, we review the knowingly absurd Netflix Christmas comedy "Hot Frosty." Dustin Milligan stars as a snowman who comes to life in the form of a hunky handyman when a widow (holiday movie veteran Lacey Chabert) wraps a red scarf around his neck. One of us liked this much more than the other, and it may surprise you. Craig Robinson and Joe Lo Truglio co-star. Streaming now.
Finally, in our weekly Movie News LIVE!, we discuss the new "Mission: Impossible" trailer, Conan O'Brien hosting the 2025 Oscars, why we left Twitter, where we were on Y2K and much more. Join us every Friday at Noon Pacific on our YouTube channel. It's always fun!

It's your usual Arthouse Tuesday with a massive wallop of a blockbuster at the front end. Like we like to say around here, we do it all at Breakfast All Day.
We begin with a super-early review of "Gladiator II," Ridley Scott's follow-up to his 2000 best-picture Oscar winner. Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal, Denzel Washington, Joseph Quinn, Fred Hechinger and Connie Nielsen star in this sweeping historical epic. This is a spoiler-free review. In theaters Nov. 22.
Then it's back to your regular Tuesday programming with a discussion of "Christmas Eve in Miller's Point." Tyler Taormina's film is a shaggy hang that follows a sprawling Italian-American family over Christmas Eve in suburban Long Island. Maria Dizzia, Michael Cera, Matilda Fleming, Francesca Scorsese and Sawyer Spielberg are among the massive ensemble. In theaters in limited release.
Finally, another small gem we really enjoyed: "Meanwhile on Earth" from French writer-director Jérémy Clapin, whose 2019 animated feature "I Lost My Body" was nominated for an Academy Award. Megan Northam stars as a young woman mourning the loss of her astronaut brother. But when a mysterious voice comes to her and offers her a bargain, she wonders whether she can bring him back. In theaters in limited release.
Come on back Friday when we'll have reviews of "Red One," "Hot Frosty" and "Bird," plus movie news. Have a great week and we'll see you then!

Sometimes we have these little theme weeks totally by accident. This time on Breakfast All Day, we review two indies that contemplate the power of religion in very different ways.
First, we discuss "Heretic," a twisty thriller from A24 starring Hugh Grant in a deliciously villainous role. When two young Mormon missionaries knock on his door, hoping to convert him, he ends up giving them a lot to think about instead. Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East co-star. In theaters.
Then, we review "Small Things Like These," starring a quietly moving Cillian Murphy as a coal merchant who begins to question what's going on behind the walls of the convent in his small Irish town. Emily Watson is chilling as the fearsome mother superior. In theaters.
Finally, because it's Friday, we did our weekly movie news livestream. Among the topics we discussed were the late, legendary Quincy Jones, three new "Star Wars" movies, "Juror #2" and the final season of "Stranger Things." Join us every Friday at Noon Pacific.
Now more than ever, we're grateful for the community you're helping us build. It's been a difficult week for a lot of folks, but we're glad to be surrounded by so many thoughtful and kindhearted viewers and listeners. Hope you're taking time for yourself, and we thank you for sharing some of that time here with us.

It's Election Day in the United States -- a crazy, stressful day for so many people -- but we wanted to take a moment here at Breakfast All Day to check in, say hello and share a couple of film reviews in case you need a break from thinking about politics.
First, we discuss "Emilia Pérez," a Spanish-language musical from French filmmaker Jacques Audiard. It was a major award winner at the Cannes Film Festival this year, and it's France's Oscar entry in the international feature category. But while we admired the extreme ambition on display, as well as the committed performances from Karla Sofía Gascón, Zoe Saldaña and Selena Gomez, we didn't think it totally worked in the execution. Still, we love a big swing around here. In theaters in limited release and streaming on Netflix starting Nov. 13.
Then, we have a little something that'll warm your heart: "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever," an old-fashioned holiday comedy that offers faith-based messages in a way that secular audiences can enjoy, as well. It's based on the beloved children's book and stars Judy Greer, Pete Holmes and Lauren Graham. In theaters Friday.
Whatever happens this week, we're here for you, and we'll be back on Friday with Movie News LIVE! at Noon Pacific at our YouTube channel. We hope to see you then.

We begin November with an absolutely packed episode of movie reviews and news here at Breakfast All Day.
First, we discuss the worst of this week's new movies: "Here," which reunites the director, writer and stars of "Forrest Gump." The idea behind Robert Zemeckis' film, based on a graphic novel, had potential: The camera doesn't move the whole time as we watch peoples' lives play out over centuries and decades. Among them are Tom Hanks and Robin Wright's characters, stuck as everyone is in the same living room. It's ambitious, but we kinda hated it. In theaters.
Next is a movie we loved: "Blitz," from writer-director Steve McQueen ("12 Years a Slave," "Shame," "Small Axe"). Saoirse Ronan and excellent newcomer Elliott Heffernan play a mother and son struggling to get back to each other after being separated during the London Blitz of World War II. You know from the first shot that you're in the hands of a true artist. In theaters now and streaming on Apple TV+ starting Nov. 22 (but you really should see it in a theater if you can).
Then, we review "Juror #2," which may be 94-year-old Clint Eastwood's final film as director. He's made a solid, old-fashioned courtroom drama about a juror in a homicide trial (Nicholas Hoult) who realizes he knows more about the case than he'd like to admit. This is an extremely well-made movie for grown-ups, with a strong supporting cast that includes Toni Collette, Chris Messina, J.K. Simmons and Zoey Deutch. In limited release.
Finally, we also really loved "A Real Pain," starring Jesse Eisenberg and Kieran Culkin as estranged cousins who travel to their beloved grandmother's homeland of Poland after her death. Both give nuanced performances and Eisenberg, as writer and director, shows a great mastery of tone. In theaters.
And if it's Friday, it's time for Movie News LIVE! Among today's topics were Teri Garr, Disney +'s Look Ahead, Timothée Chalamet, Armie Hammer and the trailer for the new "Paddington" movie. Join us for our livestreams every Friday at Noon Pacific. Thanks for being here!

It's Halloween Week, so we've got a combination of serial killers, zombie pirates and frightening '70s and '80s fashion here at Breakfast All Day.
First, we catch up with Anna Kendrick's gripping thriller "Woman of the Hour." Kendrick directs for the first time and stars in this drama inspired by serial killer Rodney Alcala's appearance as a contestant on "The Dating Game" in the middle of his 1970s crime spree. It's streaming now on Netflix.
Then, we're delighted to share the review we recorded after our first live event: a screening of John Carpenter's 1980 horror classic "The Fog" at The Frida Cinema in Santa Ana. This is part of our Was It Great or Were You 8? series. We had a great crowd over the weekend, and it was so nice to meet so many of our longtime viewers and listeners in person. Thanks to the fine folks at The Frida for hosting us so warmly -- go support your local arthouse theater! (FYI, there are a few little jumps in the recording, so apologies in advance. )
And for our Patreon subscribers, we recap episode 6 of "The Penguin" on HBO. Only two more to go! Thanks for watching along with us, and we'll see you back here on Friday for reviews of "Blitz," "Here," "Juror #2 " and "A Real Pain."

Such a random mix of movies this week, but there's nowhere we'd rather talk about them than here with you on Breakfast All Day.
We begin with "Venom: The Last Dance," the third film in the Spider-Man spin-off franchise and easily the worst. It's fun when Tom Hardy's bickering and bantering with his gooey BFF, but that's about it. In theaters.
Then we discuss "Conclave," a star-studded airport novel brought to the big screen. It has the sheen of prestige but it's actually well-crafted trash. Ralph Fiennes and Stanley Tucci lead a strong ensemble cast in this thriller from "All Quiet on the Western Front" director Edward Bergen about the world's cardinals coming together to pick a new pope. In theaters.
Finally in movie news, we have lots to catch up on, including "The Brutalist" trailer, "The Substance" being considered in the musical/comedy category at the Golden Globes, the "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" AirBnB, our favorite political movies and more.
And join us this weekend for our in-person screening of John Carpenter's 1980 horror classic "The Fog"! We've been planning this live event for months and we're so excited it's finally here. If you're in Southern California, come to The Frida Cinema in Santa Ana on Sunday, Oct. 27. The movie starts at 2pm Pacific, and then we'll record a podcast review and hang out for a bit afterward. Tickets are available here. Hope to see you!: https://thefridacinema.org/movies/the-fog-presented-by-breakfast-all-day/

We're kinda scattered all over the place this week, but we'll always come back to you here at Breakfast All Day. Between Christy's jury duty and travel for both of us, we tried to squeeze in as many reviews as we could. And they're super random!
First, our good friend Bibbs returns to help Christy with a review of "Smile 2," the sequel to the 2022 horror hit "Smile." Naomi Scott is tremendous as a pop star possessed by the evil smiley-face spirit, just as she's about to launch a world tour. Not exactly the era you want to revisit. In theaters.
Then, Alonso and Christy discuss one of the year's best films, Sean Baker's "Anora," winner of the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. Mikey Madison gives a star-making performance as the titular stripper, who gets swept up in a whirlwind romance with the impetuous son of a Russian oligarch. We loved it. In limited release now before going wider in November.
Finally, we catch up with "Piece by Piece," the LEGO animated documentary about prolific producer/singer/songwriter Pharrell Williams. We loved this one, too. Beyond the impossible cuteness of seeing LEGO Snoop Dogg and Gwen Stefani, we were impressed with the clever details and surprising emotion. In theaters.
And for our Patreon friends, we have recaps of "The Penguin" (featuring a knockout Cristin Milioti performance) and episodes 5 and 6 of "Heartstopper" season 3. We'll catch up with "Only Murders in the Building" and "Agatha All Along" when we're both back in town early next week. Thanks for your patience and support!

We're out in the wilderness for our latest episode of Breakfast All Day, so apologies in advance if the sound quality is a little wonky. Christy's wi-fi went out right as we were about to do our weekly livestream, so she dashed over to the library to use theirs. Still, we have lots of goodies for you.
First, we review "We Live in Time," a nonlinear A24 weepy starring Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield. We're mixed on it. It's in limited release now and opening wider Oct. 18.
Next, we review "The Apprentice," which follows a young Donald Trump as he falls under the ruthless tutelage of attorney Roy Cohn. Sebastian Stan and Jeremy Strong co-star. In theaters now.
Finally, we have a quick news segment, touching on season 2 of "Nobody Wants This" on Netflix, a John Mulaney talk show that's in the works, and more.
We promise to be back to normal next week! Thanks for sticking with us.

It's one of our weirder Arthouse Tuesdays here at Breakfast All Day.
First, we catch up with "The Outrun," starring a searing Saoirse Ronan as a young woman struggling with alcoholism and searching for her place in the world. It's excellent, and it's playing in theaters now.
Then, the great Dave White (Alonso's husband) shares his horror insights in our review of "Terrifier 3." We'd never seen the first two "Terrifier" movies, but we'd heard the buzz about Art the Clown's gory exploits. Plus it's a Christmas movie, so of course we had to check it out. In theaters Oct. 11.
This week is a little wacky because Christy has jury duty, but we hope to be back in some form on Friday. Stay tuned, and thanks for sharing some of your time with us!

We're far from the shallow now as we enter fall movie season in earnest here at Breakfast All Day.
First, we review the much-anticipated and highly polarizing "Joker: Folie à Deux." Todd Phillips' sequel to his Oscar-winning 2019 drama "Joker" finds Joaquin Phoenix returning to the Batman villain role with Lady Gaga at his side as Harley Quinn. And did we mention that it's a musical? This is a spoiler-free review, but we're hoping to do a live spoiler chat soon, so keep an eye out for details. In theaters.
Then, we review "Saturday Night," Jason Reitman's star-studded, high-energy recreation of the first episode of "Saturday Night Live," which aired on Oct. 11, 1975. It's famous people pretending to be other famous people in an engaging cosplay. In limited release now, opening nationwide next Friday.
And we're back with Movie News LIVE! Among the topics we discussed today were the "Babygirl" trailer, "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives," "Magazine Dreams," and what Alonso ate at the Texas State Fair last weekend. We'll keep you posted on whether we'll have a livestream next Friday, since Christy may have jury duty. Fingers crossed! Thanks for being here.

We love chatting with you in this format, so be on the lookout for more! And let us know what you thought of this insane film!

There's a sneaky little theme that unites the two movies we review on the latest episode of Breakfast All Day: They both feature impressive, A-list casts, and you can watch both of them right now on streaming.
First, we discuss "Wolfs," an action comedy in which Brad Pitt and George Clooney play New York City fixers forced to team up on a wintry, all-night adventure. The film from writer-director Jon Watts mostly coasts on the considerable charm of its handsome actors. In select theaters and streaming on Apple TV+.
Then, we review the hilarious and emotional documentary "Will & Harper." Will Ferrell and his longtime friend and collaborator, Harper Steele, go on a cross-country road trip after Steele transitions to live as a woman. The fellow "Saturday Night Live" alums they visit include Tina Fey, Tim Meadows, Seth Meyers, Molly Shannon and Will Forte. In select theaters and streaming on Netflix.
Over at our Patreon, we recap the latest episodes of "Only Murders in the Building" on Hulu and "Agatha All Along" on Disney+.
No news this week because Alonso is in Dallas, but we do chat a bit at the beginning about the legendary Dame Maggie Smith, who died at 89. We'll honor her on our Patreon with our October Off the Menu poll, so if you're not already a member, you can join us here.
And you can join us on person at The Frida Cinema in Santa Ana, where we're hosting a screening of John Carpenter's 1980 horror classic "The Fog."

It's a quick but nourishing midweek serving of Breakfast All Day. We have early reviews of two big movies that are opening this weekend.
First, we couldn't wait to talk about "Megalopolis," Francis Ford Coppola's long-gestating sci-fi epic. We're extremely mixed on it, but that feels fitting, given the big, ambitious swings the movie is taking. Adam Driver, Nathalie Emmanuel, Aubrey Plaza, Giancarlo Esposito, Shia LaBeouf and Kathryn Hunter are among the massive ensemble cast.
Then, we review "The Wild Robot," the latest features from DreamWorks Animation. It's breathtakingly beautiful and features some great voice performances from Lupita Nyong'o, Pedro Pascal, Kit Connor and Catherine O'Hara. A strong choice for the whole family, even if it does turn a bit heavy-handed toward the end.
Check back with us on Friday for reviews of "Will & Harper" on Netflix and "Wolfs" on Apple TV+. And thanks for sharing some of your time with us!

We're always more than meets the eye here at Breakfast All Day.
First, we're split on "Transformers One," the animated prequel that explores the friendship that once existed between Optimus Prime and Megatron. Chris Hemsworth, Brian Tyree Henry and Scarlett Johansson are among the all-star cast. In theaters.
Then, we review "His Three Daughters," an indie drama that features incredible performances from Carrie Coon, Elizabeth Olsen and Natasha Lyonne as estranged sisters dealing with their father's imminent death. In select theaters and streaming on Netflix.
Finally, we finish with this week's Movie News LIVE! Among the topics we discussed were Diddy's indictment, Jane's Addiction canceling their tour, the upcoming Hallmark Christmas lineup and "Time Bandits" season 2 being canceled. We always love chatting with our folks!
And if you'd like to meet up with us in person, we're hosting a screening of John Carpenter's 1980 horror classic "The Fog" at The Frida Cinema in Santa Ana, CA.

It's the arthousiest of Arthouse Tuesdays here at Breakfast All Day. It's also one of those weeks where we wind up with a theme: Both movies we review are about people who undergo radical transformations to become more beautiful and youthful versions of themselves. And both are in theaters this Friday, Sept. 20.
We loved "The Substance," in which Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley play two versions of the same ambitious starlet. Writer-director Coralie Fargeat's thriller is so insane that we did a non-spoiler review, but we're also planning a live spoiler conversation down the road at our YouTube channel. Keep an eye out for details.
We also both really liked "A Different Man," starring Sebastian Stan as an aspiring actor with a serious facial deformity. An experimental drug trial turns him into ... Sebastian Stan, essentially. But he's still not happy. Renate Reinsve and Adam Pearson co-star in this prickly dark comedy.
And mark your calendar for Sunday, Oct. 27 at 2pm Pacific, when we're doing our first LIVE event! Come to The Frida Cinema in Santa Ana for a screening we're hosting of John Carpenter's 1980 horror classic "The Fog." Then stick around afterward and watch us record a podcast review of the film. Tickets are available here. We can't wait to see you!

It's a truly random cross-section of films on this week's Breakfast All Day as we await prestige movie season.
First, our old friend Kristian Harloff joins Christy to review "Speak No Evil," a remake of the Danish thriller about an American family visiting an English family they barely know at their remote farm. James McAvoy gives a delightfully deranged performance. In theaters.
Then, Christy and Alonso absolutely loved "My Old Ass," a high-concept coming-of-age comedy about an 18-year-old (Maisy Stella in a star-making performance) meeting her 39-year-old self (Aubrey Plaza) during a mushroom trip. It's hilarious and surprisingly emotional. In theaters.
For our final review, we catch up with "The Front Room," about a battle between a pregnant Brandy and her diabolical mother-in-law (Kathryn Hunter). It had potential, but fizzles. In theaters.
And in movie news, we remember the legendary James Earl Jones, who died this week at 93. Plus: "Megalopolis," Cameron Crowe's lost Tom Petty documentary, the Emmys on Sunday night and more. Join us every Friday at Noon Pacific.
You can also join us Saturday morning for our coffee livestream. We're meeting up at the Farmer's Market at 9am Pacific on Sept. 14, and we thought we'd say hello to our folks out there while we're at it. Here's a link to our YouTube channel. We hope to see you!

Alonso's back from the Venice Film Festival and we're ready to jump into fall here at Breakfast All Day.
First, we review "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice," a sequel that's coming out 36 years after Tim Burton's original, which remains one of his best. We had fun with this one, too, but were mixed over whether it works consistently. In theaters.
Then, we review the documentary "Lover of Men: The Untold History of Abraham Lincoln," which offers evidence that the 16th president of the United States was gay. People are super angry about this one in the comment section of our YouTube review. In theaters.
Finally, we're back with Movie News LIVE! Among the topics we discuss are Alonso's Venice experience, Oasis reuniting, "Megalopolis" in IMAX, the trailer for "A Minecraft Movie" and more. Join us at the channel every Friday at Noon Pacific.
And over at our Patreon, we recap the first two episodes of "Only Murders in the Building" season 4. It's so nice to be back with Charles, Mabel and Oliver, and we already have theories as to what's really going on here. We'd love to hear your thoughts, too. Thanks for being here!

Spoilers abound in this long weekend edition of the Breakfast All Day podcast. Proceed at your own risk! But do give us a listen if you've seen these movies and want to dig deeper.
Alonso's at the Venice Film Festival, but before he left, we recorded an "Alien: Romulus" spoiler discussion, where we get into all the gnarly stuff we didn't want to reveal in our non-spoiler review. That's in theaters now.
Also, our good friend William Bibbiani steps in to help with a heavy spoiler review of "Strange Darling," a twisty thriller about a sexy one-night stand that goes horribly awry. We both loved it and have so much to say about it. That's also in theaters.
And with "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" premiering at Venice (where Alonso saw it and offered a quick review right out of the theater), we revisited Tim Burton's original "Beetlejuice" from 1988. Let us know what you think of this classic Michael Keaton movie. Thanks so much for being here, and enjoy the end of summer!

We're grasping at the last vestiges of summer here at Breakfast All Day and we're glad to have you along with us.
First, we review of "The Crow," a re-imagining of the tragic 1994 action movie based on the comic book series. Bill Skarsgård and FKA Twigs co-star. It's not terrible, but the studio didn't need to be cagey about it with critics. In theaters now.
Then, we have a spoiler-free review of "Blink Twice," which we both thought was pretty awesome. Zoë Kravitz's directorial debut is a tense and twisty thriller with a terrific cast, led by Channing Tatum, Naomi Ackie and Adria Arjona. Also in theaters.
We wrap up with Movie News LIVE!, the last one of the month, since Alonso's heading to the Venice Film Festival on Monday. Among the topics we discuss are those fake "Megalopolis" critic quotes, "The Acolyte" season 2 being canceled and the end of Bennifer 2.0. We'll be back with another livestream in early September, so keep an eye out for details.
And for our Patreon subscribers, we recap episodes 7 and 8 of "Time Bandits" on Apple TV+, which were both pretty great. We'll finish up the series next week, so stay tuned. Thanks as always for sharing your time with us!
