  Episode #629

  Episode 629: Digger (NO Spoilers!), Verity, Heart of the Beast, East of Eden (1955), Movie News LIVE!

  Oct 2, 20261h 12mS8

  A ridiculously huge episode of Breakfast All Day to kick off October. Here's what we reviewed this week: DIGGER. Tom Cruise teams up with Alejandro G. Iñárritu for a massive, cacophonous climate change parable. We couldn't stand it, but we were also in awe of its cinematography and production design. Riz Ahmed, John Goodman, Sandra Hüller and Jesse Plemons co-star. In theaters. And once you've seen the movie, come to our LIVE spoiler chat at our YouTube channel on Tuesday, Oct. 6 at Noon Pacific. VERITY. Slick, twisty trash for suburban moms, or anyone who enjoys a glass of wine with a movie. (That's a compliment, by the way.) Based on the novel by Colleen Hoover ("It Ends With Us"). Starring Dakota Johnson, Anne Hathaway, Josh Hartnett and a monstrous midcentury-modern house that's essentially a character in itself. In theaters. HEART OF THE BEAST. Last week was so busy that we couldn't get to this Brad Pitt adventure movie, but we liked it so much that we wanted to catch up with it. Pitt stars as a retired special forces officer who fights to survive in the Alaskan wilderness after a plane crash. But the real star is his trusty German shepherd and best friend, the magnificent Odin. In theaters. EAST OF EDEN (1955). With Zoe Kazan's miniseries treatment of the classic John Steinbeck novel streaming now on Netflix. we wanted to revisit the original film that her grandfather, Elia Kazan, directed. This is the movie that put James Dean on the map, and you can see all that beautiful, tormented potential on display. Catch our "East of Eden" recaps here on our Patreon. MOVIE NEWS LIVE! Always a lot to discuss, including early "Digger" reactions and box office, the latest in the Paramount/Warner Bros. merger, new movies from Curry Barker and Zach Cregger, and a "Fast & Furious" series in the works at Paramount+.

  Episode #628

  Episode 628: Primetime, Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother, You Had to Be There, Movie News LIVE!

  Sep 25, 20261h 11mS8

  We are in the thick of fall movie season now, and you're here with us. Here's what we reviewed on this week's episode of our Breakfast All Day podcast. PRIMETIME. Robert Pattinson IS Chris Hansen, host of the NBC series "To Catch a Predator" in the early aughts. The film is lurid and Pattinson gives an enjoyably garish performance. In theaters. YOUR MOTHER YOUR MOTHER YOUR MOTHER. Mahershala Ali stars as a devoutly Muslim hitman trying to find milk for his infant daughter in a dangerous section of Houston. A true original. In limited release now and going wider in upcoming weeks. YOU HAD TO BE THERE. A fascinating documentary about the 1972 Toronto production of "Godspell." Name a Canadian comedian whose work you like, and they probably got their start here. In theaters. MOVIE NEWS LIVE! Lots to discuss as always, including early reactions to "Digger," trailers for "Musk," "Clayface" and "You Can See Everything," and the state of the Paramount/Warner Bros. merger.

  Episode #627

  Episode 627: Resident Evil (2026), The Uprising, The History of Concrete, Movie News LIVE!

  Sep 18, 20261h 21mS8

  What a weird week! But we're here for all of it, for you, at Breakfast All Day. Here's what we reviewed on our latest episode. RESIDENT EVIL (2026). A "Resident Evil" movie that's actually good? Zach Cregger has done the impossible. You don't need to have seen any of the previous films, or played the video game, to have a blast here. This horror movie is insane and hilarious. You'll scream, you'll squirm. Austin Abrams stars as a medical courier having a very bad day. In theaters. THE UPRISING. We're catching up with this action epic from writer-director Paul Greengrass, which came out last week. Andrew Garfield stars as a man known only as the Ploughman, who leads the peasants' revolt of 1381 against England's King Richard II. Co-starring Thomasin McKenzie, Jamie Bell and Cosmo Jarvis. In theaters. THE HISTORY OF CONCRETE. If you enjoyed the HBO series "How To With John Wilson," you'll love this feature debut, which feels like an extended version of his low-key comedy in all the best ways. Wilson does indeed explore the history of concrete in his beloved New York City, but ties in numerous other ideas, themes and oddball characters in the process. We loved it. In theaters now in New York, opens wider in upcoming weeks. Find out here when it's playing near you. MOVIE NEWS LIVE! We went extra long on a number of topics including Ed Sheeran, the Elon Musk documentary, the Toronto International Film Festival, Duncan Sheik and Bob Mackie. Join us on Fridays at Noon Pacific.

  Episode #598

  Episode 626: Buddy, Call My Agent! The Movie, Movie News LIVE!

  Sep 11, 20261h 1mS8

  Three pocast episodes ... in one week? In this economy? We had a lot to catch up on from our time away at the end of summer, and the arrival of September always brings a slew of new releases. Here's what we've got for you this time: BUDDY. This twisted horror comedy came out a couple weeks ago, but this is very much our kind of movie, so we knew we needed to catch up with it. The film from surrealist Casper Kelly (Adult Swim's "Too Many Cooks," "Yule Log") is set in a kitschy '90s kids TV show that looks a lot like "Barney & Friends." But "It's Buddy" is about an orange unicorn who doesn't like it when the young cast members dare to question his authority. Starring Keegan-Michael Key, Cristin Milioti, Delaney Quinn, and Patton Oswalt as a talking backpack named Strappy. In theaters. CALL MY AGENT! THE MOVIE. The French comedy series is now a feature film after four seasons on Netflix. Everyone is back, but now the action has moved from a talent agency to a movie set. Alonso loved this show, but Christy had never seen a single episode, so it was fun to come at it from both perspectives. Camille Cottin, Laure Calamy, Laetitia Casta and George Clooney co-star. Streaming now on Netflix. MOVIE NEWS LIVE! This was an especially somber day, given that it was the 25th anniversary of 9/11. But we hadn't done our movie news livestream in a few weeks, so we wanted to reconnect and reflect with our folks. Among the many topics we talked about were the Venice, Telluride and Toronto film festivals; the passing of Dolly Parton and Tim Curry; the secret Elizabeth Holmes documentary; Chris Hansen's response to "Primetime"; and the new concert film "Oasis: Don't Look Back in Anger," which is excellent.

  Episode #625

  Episode 625: Practical Magic 2, Practical Magic (1998), Hope (2026)

  Sep 10, 202634 minS8

  One more midweek pop-in because there's so much to discuss now that September has arrived. Here's what we reviewed on the latest episode of our Breakfast All Day podcast. PRACTICAL MAGIC 2. It's the sequel to "Practical Magic." But can Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman still cast a spell on us, 28 years later? This time, they travel to England to try and end the family's centuries-old curse. Joey King, Lee Pace, Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest co-star. In theaters. PRACTICAL MAGIC (1998). Alonso had never seen the original movie, and Christy only saw it when it came out, so this was a good opportunity to revisit it. Griffin Dunne's film was not exactly a giant hit with critics or audiences back then, but it's gained a cult following over time, which we try to understand. Streaming and rentable. HOPE. This crazy, overlong Korean horror movie from writer-director Na Hong-jin played at the Cannes Film Festival and is now out there for you to enjoy, as well. Something is rampaging through a small harbor town near the North Korean border, and a group of citizens and police officers try and stop it. We liked it for a while. In theaters.
