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!

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!

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.

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.

Two star-studded streaming movies are out there for your weekend viewing, and we have reviews of both of them here at Breakfast All Day. First, we're extremely split on Jerry Seinfeld's Pop-Tart comedy "Unfrosted," which features Melissa McCarthy, Jim Gaffigan, Amy Schumer, Hugh Grant, Fred Armisen, Peter Dinklage and many, many more. It's on Netflix. Then, we're more in agreement on the romantic charmer "The Idea of You," starring Anne Hathaway as a 40-year-old divorced mom who unexpectedly falls for the 24-year-old lead singer of a boy band, played by Nicholas Galitzine. It's on Prime Video. But we begin with Movie News LIVE!, with topics including Dwayne Johnson, Daniel Radcliffe, Ryan Gosling, the "Mufasa" trailer and Christy's skiing accident in Mammoth.

It's a jam-packed episode full of summertime treats on the latest Breakfast All Day. For your weekly dose of blockbuster escapism, we review "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes," which we were just so-so on, especially given how satisfying "War for the Planet of the Apes" was seven years ago.
