It may seem like a random week between "The Fabelmans," "Spirited" and "Falling for Christmas," but we contain multitudes here at Breakfast All Day. Plus movie news of course, which includes Kevin Conroy, Andy Taylor, Chris Evans, Jimmy Kimmel and Aaron Carter. Over at our , we recap a couple of incredible episodes of television: the season finale of "The Handmaid's Tale" and this week's prison break on "Andor." And don't forget to join us Saturday afternoon for out live spoiler discussion of "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" at our YouTube channel.

Episode 317: Movie News, The Fabelmans, Spirited, Falling for Christmas

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!

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!

Episode 454: Problemista, Chicken for Linda! reviews

We already did an early review of the big movie of the week --&nbsp; -- but there's plenty more to talk about here at Breakfast All Day. First, we look at Ethan Hawke's "Wildcat," in which he directs his daughter, Maya Hawke, in an inventive biopic about the writer Flannery O'Connor. We're mixed on it but admire the ambition as well as Maya Hawke's performance. It opens in limited release on May 3 before going wider the following week. But this weekend, you can see Ridley Scott's sci-fi masterpiece "Alien" in the theater. The 1979 film is having a brief but wide run in honor of its 45th anniversary, so if you haven't seen it in a while or you've never seen it projected, this is a great opportunity. Send us pictures if you end up checking it out -- we're @bfastallday on Instagram. Here's a ink to where you can find "Alien" near you: &nbsp; And for , we go in-depth on the last two episodes of "Ripley." We're extremely conflicted about the finale, but love the Netflix series as a whole. What are your thoughts? Let us know! We're back on Tuesday at Noon Pacific with a LIVE "Challengers" spoiler chat, so make sure you join us. 'Til then, have a great weekend.

Episode 455: Wildcat Review, Alien (1979) Back in Theaters

Summer movie season has begun, and we're here for every escapist moment of it at Breakfast All Day. First, we have an early review of "The Fall Guy," the ultimate popcorn flick, full of over-the-top explosions and self-aware humor. Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt have crazy chemistry in David Leitch's ode to stuntmen and women. It's in theaters Friday. Then, we had a lengthy and in-depth spoiler conversation on our YouTube channel about "Challengers," now that the film is in theaters. The Zendaya-Mike Faist-Josh O'Connor love triangle inspired lots of thoughtful analysis. If you've seen the movie, we'd love to hear your thoughts. And for our Patreon subscribers, we recap the very dramatic (and bloody) episodes 7 and 8 of "Shōgun." Thanks for watching along with us!
