Episode 599: The Sheep Detectives, Billie Eilish - Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour (Live in 3D), Movie News LIVE!
1w ago01:03:19Tap to summarizeBirds 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! We're back after a week away to discuss "The Boys," "The Bear," "The Odyssey," the Met Gala, Ted Turner and more. We're off again next Friday, but come on back on May 22.

Transcribe →Episode 598: The Devil Wears Prada 2, The Devil Wears Prada (2006), Hokum, Mile End Kicks
2w ago00:50:11Tap to summarizeIt'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.

Transcribe →Episode 597: Over Your Dead Body, I Swear, Movie News LIVE!
3w ago00:57:31Tap to summarizeWe 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. We won't be here next Friday in solidarity with a nationwide labor strike, but come back on May 8. Thanks for sharing some of your weekend with us!

Transcribe →Episode 596: Michael (2026), The Christophers reviews
3w ago00:26:59Tap to summarizeName 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. Come back on Friday, when we'll have reviews of "I Swear" and "Over Your Dead Body," plus Movie News LIVE! See you then.
Transcribe →Episode 595: Lee Cronin's The Mummy, Mother Mary, Movie News LIVE!
4w ago01:03:34Tap to summarizeBetween 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. Come back next Friday at Noon Pacific and we'll do it again. Thanks for being here! Have a great weekend. Subscribe to Christy's Saturday matinee newsletter: https://christylemire.beehiiv.com/
Transcribe →Episode 594: Outcome review, The Drama LIVE Spoiler Chat
Apr 1500:45:28Tap to summarizeWe'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." There's so much we didn't want to ruin in our spoiler-free review of the Zendaya and Robert Pattinson movie, but now that it's been out for a little while, it's time to go in-depth. Let us know your thoughts! Come back and see us on Friday, when we'll have reviews of "Lee Cronin's The Mummy" and "Mother Mary." Plus, we're doing our first Movie News LIVE! in about a month, so hang out with us at our Breakfast All Day YouTube channel Friday at Noon Pacific. Hope to see you.
Transcribe →Episode 593: Marc by Sofia, My Undesirable Friends: Part 1 - Last Air in Moscow, Little Darlings: Was It Great or Were You 8?
Apr 1000:44:41Tap to summarizeIt'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 LIVE spoiler chat about THE DRAMA. Join us at our YouTube channel at Noon Pacific time on Tuesday, April 14. Hope to see you then.

Transcribe →Episode 592: The Drama, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie reviews
Apr 300:25:43Tap to summarizeA 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!

Transcribe →Episode 591: They Will Kill You, Forbidden Fruits reviews
Mar 2700:21:05Tap to summarizeIt'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.

Transcribe →Episode 590: Ready or Not 2: Here I Come review, Movie News
Mar 2000:19:52Tap to summarizeIt'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. Tickets are available here. Subscribe to Christy's Saturday Matinee newsletter: https://christylemire.beehiiv.com/
