Well, gosh, of course we had to get all gussied up for ya this week on&nbsp;Breakfast All Day. Christy, Alonso and Matt review “The Eyes of Tammy Faye,”&nbsp;in which Jessica Chastain goes all out to play the flamboyant televangelist Tammy Faye Bakker. We also discuss Clint Eastwood’s latest film in front of and behind the camera,&nbsp;“Cry Macho,”&nbsp;and we had to catch up with James Wan’s&nbsp;“Malignant,”&nbsp;because so many of you raved about how wild it is (and you were right). In&nbsp;news, we talk about&nbsp;Nicki Minaj‘s cousin’s friend’s swollen testicles,&nbsp;Norm Macdonald&nbsp;dying of cancer at 61, California Gov.&nbsp;Gavin Newsom&nbsp;surviving a recall attempt,&nbsp;Ken Jennings and Mayim Bialik&nbsp;hosting “Jeopardy!” for the rest of the year,&nbsp;Britney Spears&nbsp;getting engaged and&nbsp;Christopher Nolan&nbsp;leaving Warner Bros. after 19 years for Universal. And over at our&nbsp;, we recap this week’s homage to “After Hours” on&nbsp;“Ted Lasso,”&nbsp;and we return to&nbsp;“The Morning Show,”&nbsp;which begins its second season. Thanks so much for joining us on this last weekend of summer!

Episode 218: News, The Eyes of Tammy Faye, Cry Macho, Malignant

Pain don't hurt when you're hanging out with us here at Breakfast All Day. We have a quick midweek pop-in for you with a couple of reviews. First, an early look at "Late Night With the Devil," a brilliantly executed indie horror movie that takes place within the confines of a 1970s TV studio. Longtime "that guy" David Dastmalchian is tremendous in a rare leading role. We also look back at 1989's "Road House" to see how it holds up, now that the remake is coming out on Prime Video. Jake Gyllenhaal takes over the Patrick Swayze role, and we'll have a review later this week. Is the original "Road House" so bad it's good, or just plain bad? Let us know! And thanks for sharing some of your time with us. &nbsp;   * Our friends at Coffee Bros. have a couple of great new roasts you're going to want to try: Their first single-origin Sumatran coffee since 2022 and a very special Futuro Espresso from Brazil.

It's the '80s all over again here at Breakfast All Day -- but then again, did it ever stop being the '80s? First, Christy and Alonso review "Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire," which is not good, but at least it does a better job of blending the old and the new than 2021's "Ghostbusters: Afterlife" did. It's in theaters. Then we review "Road House," a remake of the 1989 cult favorite with Jake Gyllenhaal taking over the Patrick Swayze role. It's streaming on Prime Video. Finally, our good friend Tim Grierson from Screen International fills in on a review of "Immaculate," the new Sydney Sweeney horror movie which makes being a nun in Italy seem super dangerous. It's in theaters. And we start the whole episode off as we always do on Fridays with Movie News LIVE! Christy flies solo this time while Alonso's off recording his audiobook. Among the topics of discussion are trailers for "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice," "Furiosa" and the "Star Wars" prequel series "The Acolyte." Thanks so much for sharing some of your time with us and have a great weekend.

It's another Arthouse Tuesday here at Breakfast All Day, with two movies from the daring folks at Neon. First, Christy and Alonso review Alice Rohrwacher's "La Chimera," starring Josh O'Connor as a grave robber with a magical ability to find hidden Etruscan artifacts. It's in theaters starting March 29. Then, Christy and the always entertaining Tim Grierson of Screen International offer a spoiler discussion of "Immaculate," the Sydney Sweeney horror movie that opened over the weekend. So much happens that we knew we had to go in-depth, especially on that shocking ending. Thanks for checking in with us!

Episode 447: La Chimera Review, Immaculate Spoiler Talk With Tim Grierson

Spring break is upon us, but we had to stop by for one last visit here at Breakfast All Day. Alonso is still recording his audiobook, so Christy did another solo edition of Movie News LIVE! Lots to talk about, including Yorgos Lanthimos' "Kinds of Kindness," "A Simple Favor 2," Jerry Seinfeld's Pop-Tarts movie and Jeremy Allen White possibly playing Bruce Springsteen in a "Nebraska"-inspired biopic. Then, the always delightful Dave White (a.k.a. Alonso's husband) filled in on a review on "Godzilla x Kong: A New Empire," which is exactly the kind of big, dumb fun you want from a monster movie like this. Dave is always witty and insightful, so you don't want to miss his appearance. We're sort of all over the place the next week or so, but we'll have another podcast episode for you next Friday. Until then, thanks so much for being here, and hope you're getting some much-needed time off, too!

It's spring break, but we're still here with a new episode of our Breakfast All Day podcast. So you've got that going for you, which is nice. This week, we review the documentary "Remembering Gene Wilder," which is a warm and affectionate look back at the legendary comic star of "Willy Wonka &amp; the Chocolate Factory," "The Producers," "Blazing Saddles" and so many more. Our good friend Ben Mankiewicz is all over it, offering his insights. It's in theaters now and will be available on VOD starting April 30. We also play another round of our favorite game, "Was It Great or Were You 8?" This time, Christy chose "Caddyshack," the infinitely quotable comedy classic from 1980. Was this actually a great movie, or is she just remembering it fondly because of nostalgia? Let us know! For our Patreon subscribers,  starring Andrew Scott as Patricia Highsmith's covetous grifter. All eight episodes are streaming, but we're taking them two at a time. Thanks for hanging out with us. And if you missed Christy's Spring Break Livestream from her ski vacation in Whistler, here's a link to it over at our YouTube channel:  &nbsp;

Both movies we review on the latest episode of Breakfast All Day are about feuding -- totally by accident, but they offer an intriguing contrast. First, we have a major disagreement about "Civil War," the latest from "Ex Machina" writer-director Alex Garland. This graphic and harrowing thriller envisions an America in which sections have seceded and are attacking the federal government. Kirsten Dunst and Cailee Spaeny co-star; it's in theaters April 12. Then, we discuss a very different movie about squabbling: the charmingly profane and very British arthouse comedy "Wicked Little Letters," starring Olivia Colman and Jessie Buckley. It's in theaters now. And for , we've started recapping "Shōgun" on Hulu after receiving so many requests for it. We recap the first two episodes and will share two more over the next few Tuesdays.

BAD Podcast 4.12.24 - 41224 8.48PM

Arthouse Tuesday is back! We know how much you love it, so we review a couple of indies this week that are in limited release before expanding nationwide. We have a slightly early review of "We Grown Now," which received Spirit Award nominations this year for best feature, cinematography and editing. The gorgeous coming-of-age drama follows a friendship in flux between two tween boys in Chicago's Cabrini-Green housing project. It opens Friday in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago before going wider on April 26. Click here to find out more:  Then we discuss "Sasquatch Sunset," the latest ambitious project from the filmmaking Zellner brothers, David and Nathan. Jesse Eisenberg and Riley Keough lead a pack of Bigfoots (or is it Bigfeet?) as they traipse through the forest. This extremely languid dramedy is daring and dialogue-free. It's currently in a few cities before going nationwide this Friday. Click here to see if it's playing near you:  And for our Patreon subscribers, we catch up with episodes 3 and 4 of "Shōgun" on Hulu. Blackthorne is now the hatamoto, show him some respect!

Episode 452: We Grown Now, Sasquatch Sunset reviews

This is one of those weeks on Breakfast All Day where we end up with an accidental theme: Movies about ragtag bands of misfits who come together to pull off a mission. And we happen to disagree on both of these movies, which is always fun. First, we review the latest action comedy from Guy Ritchie, "The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare," based on the true story of a secret British scheme during World War II. It stars Henry Cavill, Alan Ritchson, Alex Pettyfer, Eiza González and more. Then, we review "Abigail," a horror comedy about a kidnapped ballerina who turns out to be a vampire. It stars Melissa Barrera, Dan Stevens, Kathryn Newton, Angus Cloud and more. Both are in theaters now. But we start out, as always on Fridays, with Movie News LIVE! Anong today's topics: the new Taylor Swift album, Quentin Tarantino and the Sundance Film Festival. And for , a recap of "Ripley" episodes 5 and 6. Thanks as always for spending time with us!

It's the arthousiest of Arthouse Tuesdays here at Breakfast All Day with reviews of two bold and distinctive indies. First, we catch up with A24's "Problemista" now that it's available for streaming. Comedian Julio Torres makes his feature filmmaking debut as writer, director and star in this absurdist comedy set in the New York art world. Tilda Swinton and RZA co-star. Then we review the French animated farce "Chicken for Linda!" from GKIDS, which is an absolute charmer. It features a retro-cool design and surprising emotional poignancy. In theaters now. And for&nbsp;, we revisit "The Talented Mr. Ripley" for April's Off the Menu review and recap episodes 5 and 6 of "Shōgun." Thanks as always for sharing some of your time with us!
