Breakfast All Day movie reviews

So many movies! We're here to help you navigate them on the latest episode of Breakfast All Day. Here's what we reviewed: GODZILLA MINUS ZERO. The sequel to the 2023 Oscar winner "Godzilla Minus One" has all the spectacle of the original with an even more ambitious scope. See in in IMAX if you can. In theaters. WILD HORSE NINE. John Malkovich and Sam Rockwell bicker and banter on Easter Island in the latest from writer-director Martin McDonagh. Lots of awards prospects for this one. In theaters. CLUB KID. The feature filmmaking debut from writer, director and star Jordan Firstman is a sweetly raunchy father-son tale, set in the party scene of modern-day Manhattan. We disagree on this. In theaters in limited release. MOVIE NEWS LIVE! We begin with the shocking breaking news of Chilean filmmaker Sebastián Lelio's death at just 52. We also discuss "Heated Rivalry" in theaters, the new "Stranger Things" prequel series, and Taika Waititi's thoughts on film critics. Join us on Fridays at Noon Pacific.

This weekend is so packed with new releases that we wanted to get a jump on it with a couple of early reviews. Here's what we've got for you on this Election Night episode of Breakfast All Day: I PLAY ROCKY. The heartwarming, underdog boxing movie has a heartwarming, underdog back story. Anthony Ippolito totally disappears into the role of Sylvester Stallone as he's fighting to get "Rocky" made. This one's a crowd-pleaser. In theaters Friday. THE CAT IN THE HAT. Bill Hader voices the mischievous Dr. Seuss character in this comic romp from Warner Animation. Alonso reviewed this one solo and liked it more than most critics. In theaters Friday. See you later this week for reviews of "Wild Horse Nine," "Godzilla Minus Zero" and "Club Kid." It's all happening! Thanks for being here.

It's Halloween weekend, so we've got a mixed bowl of fun-sized treats for you. Here's what we reviewed on our Breakfast All Day podcast: CHRISTMAS AT THE KRINGLES. A repetitive and relentless horror comedy about a seemingly bland, suburban family that's actually part of a murderous Christmas cult. This will end up being one of the year's worst films. Ron Livingston, Rachel Bilson, Thomas Lennon and Arden Myrin co-star. In theaters. WILDWOOD. So many people asked us to catch up with the latest from Laika Studios, and we're so glad we did. "Wildwood" is the longest-ever stop-motion animated movie, and it's a glorious spectacle. It's also very scary. Peyton Elizabeth Lee, Jacob Tremblay, Angela Bassett, Mahershala Ali and Awkwafina are among the strong voice cast. In theaters. EVEREST: THE OTHER SIDE. This documentary from Oscar-winning "Free Solo" directors Jimmy Chin and Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi follows another extreme athlete pushing himself to the brink. Elite climber and skier Jim Morrison tries to be the first person climb the treacherous north face of Mt. Everest, then ski back down it. In theaters, and see it in IMAX if you can. MOVIE NEWS LIVE! So much to catch up on since we were gone last week, including the heartbreaking deaths of Patrick Stewart and Eric Bauza. Plus: "Cunk on Cinema" coming to Netflix, a Fleetwood Mac documentary coming to Apple TV, and the suggestive new popcorn bucket for "Dune: Part Three." Join us on Fridays at Noon Pacific.

We had a great turnout for our "You Can See Everything" spoiler livestream at our YouTube channel. In case you missed it, here it is in podcast form for you to enjoy. We touched on so much that we didn't want to ruin in our spoiler-free review of the Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim documentary, including: Who's really telling the truth The way the movie shifts halfway through The film's awards chances (and whether it's even a true documentary) How it's possible that Elizabeth Holmes and Billy Evans have never heard of "Who's on First?" And Billy's shower scene, which earned the film an R rating Let us know what you thought of the movie, and keep an eye (and an ear) out for more in-depth conversations like this, especially as we head deeper into awards season. Thanks for being here!

It's a big, random, fall weekend here at Breakfast All Day. Here's what we reviewed on the latest episode of our Breakfast All Day podcast: CLAYFACE. Tom Rhys Harries stars as the Batman villain: a handsome actor who goes to extremes to get his looks back after a vengeful mob boss cuts up his face. This is super gnarly. Co-starring Naomi Ackie, Max Minghella and Eddie Marsan. In theaters. WICKER. Alexander Skarsgård is the perfect man: loving, kind and attentive to his wife's needs. He also happens to be made out of wicker in this sweetly raunchy fairy tale. Olivia Colman is delightful as the lonely fisherwoman who wishes him into existence. In theaters. POSSIBLE LOVE. South Korea's entry in the Oscar international feature category is one of the year's best films. The latest from "Burning" director Lee Chang-dong focuses on the unlikely friendship that forms between two couples -- one wealthy, one working-class. In select theaters now before streaming on Netflix Nov. 6. No Movie News LIVE! today, but join us next week for a live spoiler chat about YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING.

It's Arthouse Tuesday on a Friday here at Breakfast All Day. We've already reviewed the big movie everyone's talking about this week, the Elizabeth Holmes documentary "You Can See Everything." And as for "Street Fighter," Alonso did a quick out-of-the-theater reaction. But there are always plenty of new movies to discuss. Here's what we reviewed on our latest episode: LA BOLA NEGRA. It's a sweeping historical drama and a queer Spanish romance. And it was a very big deal at this year's Cannes Film Festival, where the directors, known collectively as Los Javis, won the top prize. Playing in theaters now before streaming on Netflix starting Dec. 2. KEN RUSSELL'S THE DEVILS (1971). The fully restored director's cut of this highly controversial British drama is finally out the way Ken Russell intended. We'd never seen it before but we understand why so many people have found this story of religion, sex and power so shocking. Vanessa Redgrave and Oliver Reed star. In theaters for a limited run. CARRIE (1976). With the "Carrie" miniseries streaming on Prime Video, we wanted to go back and review the original Brian De Palma film, which was the first-ever Stephen King adaptation. Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie are chilling, and we're a sucker for a split diopter shot. Make sure to check out our "Carrie" recaps, right here at our Patreon. MOVIE NEWS LIVE! Alonso is on the East Coast, so he was coming to us from the future. Among the topics we discussed were the celebrity support for "Digger," the trailer for Ben Shapiro's star-studded "Confessions," Steven Soderbergh helping Matt Reeves finish "The Batman Part II," and the whole Kelly Clarkson/Brooklyn toy store fiasco.

October means all the movies are very long and important. Well, most of them are. Here's what we reviewed on the latest episode of our Breakfast All Day podcast. YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING. This is a very early look at the Elizabeth Holmes documentary, so it's a non-spoiler review, because there's a lot you're going to want to discover and discuss on your own. Directors Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim spent a month with the disgraced Theranos founder in her home before she had to report to prison for defrauding investors. The results are mesmerizing. In theaters Oct. 16, then come to our LIVE spoiler chat on Tuesday, Oct. 27 at Noon Pacific and we'll really get into it. MUSK. It's the Elon Musk documentary. And it's four hours long (with an intermission). Veteran documentarian Alex Gibney doesn't break any new ground, but he synthesizes everything about the world's richest man and the damage he's caused, and the totality of it is damning. In theaters now. OTHER MOMMY. Universal didn't screen this Jessica Chastain horror movie for critics before opening day, which is never a good sign. But Alonso ran out and saw it Friday morning and shared a few thoughts afterward. You're welcome! In theaters now. MOVIE NEWS LIVE. A great turnout today to discuss the movies we mentioned above, plus the Paramount/Warner Bros. merger being finalized, a "Crazy Rich Asians" TV series in the works, and the death of Eva Marie Saint at age 102.

It's a big midweek episode of our Breakfast All Day podcast. Here's what we've got for you this time: THE SOCIAL RECKONING. Aaron Sorkin's follow-up to David Fincher's searing 2010 drama "The Social Network" focuses on Facebook -- and its founder -- from a different angle. This one's more of a journalistic procedural, and we don't agree on it. Starring Jeremy Allen White, Mikey Madson, Betty Gilpin, Wunmi Mosaku, Bill Burr, and Jeremy Strong as Mark Zuckerberg. In theaters this weekend. FJORD. This thought-provoking Cannes Palme d'Or winner from Romanian writer-director Cristian Mungiu is the kind of movie you'll want to have a conversation about afterward. Sebastian Stan and Renate Reinsve star as a religious couple who move with their five children to a small Norwegian town and find themselves under scrutiny. In theaters this weekend. DIGGER LIVE SPOILER CHAT. We get into all the twists we didn't want to ruin in our non-spoiler review. What's really happening in Alejándro G. Iñárritu's broad satire? Who is Tom Cruise really playing? Lots of strong opinions out there on this film, even though it tanked at the box office. Listen and share your thoughts. See you Friday for reviews of "You Can See Everything," "Musk" and "Animals." Thanks for being here!  

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+.

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!
