Breakfast All Day movie reviewsEpisode 190: News, Wrath of Man, Here Today, The Water Man, The Boy From Medellin Sure, it’s Mother’s Day weekend, but Christy, Alonso and Matt have a bunch of movies about dudes to review on Breakfast All Day. Guy Ritchie and Jason Statham re-team for the heist thriller “Wrath of Man.” Billy Crystal directs and stars as an aging comedian with dementia in “Here Today.” David Oyelowo directs and has a supporting role in the Spielbergian fantasy “The Water Man.” And J. Balvin is “The Boy From Medellin,” a documentary that takes an intimate look at the Colombian reggaeton superstar.

Ben Falcone also wrote the aggressively mediocre “Thunder Force,” starring McCarthy and Octavia Spencer as childhood best friends who become superheroes. Alonso, Matt and I also review “Voyagers,” which is essentially “Lord of the Flies” in space, and the one great film of the week, the moving South African drama “Moffie.” In news, we discuss the deaths of DMX, Prince Philip and Anne Beatts; California on the verge of ending covid restriction tiers; an update on Tiger Woods’ car accident...2021-04-091h 17Breakfast All Day movie reviewsEpisode 150: Election news, Mank, Freaky, Chick Fight, Dating Amber The whole gang got back together — all too briefly — to talk about “Mank” on this week’s episode of Breakfast All Day. We couldn’t possibly have a discussion of this film without our old friend and co-host Ben Mankiewicz, grandson of “Citizen Kane” screenwriter Herman Mankiewicz, who’s the subject of David Fincher’s lush homage to classic Hollywood. Christy, Alonso and Matt also review the body-swap horror-comedy “Freaky”; “Chick Fight,” which might be the year’s worst film; and “Dating Amber,” a sly charmer of an Irish comedy. In news, we finally have a president — hooray! — which leads to a lengthy discussion of Four Seasons...2020-11-141h 23Breakfast All Day movie reviewsEpisode 126: Coronavirus update, California Split, The High Note, The Vast of Night It’s a crazy world we’re living in lately so we’re especially happy to see each other’s friendly faces this week on Breakfast All Day. Plus we have the added bonus of Ben joining us for Coronavirus news and a revisit of the Robert Altman 1974 classic “California Split” — which is now available for streaming on Amazon Prime — and it’s always a treat to see him. As for new movies, Alonso, Matt and Christy review “The High Note,” which was surprisingly delightful, and the ambitious sci-fi indie “The Vast of Night.” (If you’d like to jump right to our new review...2020-05-301h 30Breakfast All Day movie reviewsEpisode 122: Coronavirus update, Bad Education, The Half of It, All Day and a Night The band is back together!

Plus! We go back and revisit “Dirty Dancing,” which for some reason Matt had never seen. And over at our Patreon, we discuss the first three episodes of the insane Netflix series “Tiger Kin...2020-03-281h 10Breakfast All Day movie reviewsEpisode 031: John Wick: Chapter 3 -- Parabellum, The Sun Is Also a Star, The Souvenir, Charlie Says Just like Keanu Reeves, we’re unstoppable here at the Breakfast All Day Podcast. Matt, Alonso and Christy review the completely gnarly action thriller “John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum”; the swoony YA romance “The Sun Is Also a Star”; “The Souvenir,” an exquisitely acted British drama; and “Charlie Says,” the story of the Manson family from the perspective of his “girls.” And if you head on over to our Patreon, you can hear us talk about the penultimate “Game of Thrones” episode with Ben and say farewell to some Hollywood legends, including Doris Day and Tim Conway.2019-05-1745 minBreakfast All Day movie reviewsEpisode 029: Pokemon Detective Pikachu, The Hustle, Wine Country, Knock Down the House, All Is True, The Biggest Little Farm It’s been a while, but all four of us are at the table this week to enjoy a little Breakfast All Day.

Alonso, Ben, Matt and I are together again -- three weeks in a row! -- with reviews of the sci-fi extravaganza "Alita: Battle Angel," the horror-comedy sequel "Happy Death Day 2U" and the extremely meta rom-com "Isn't It Romantic." We also discuss "Fighting With My Family," the feel-good Dwayne Johnson wrestling comedy, and we play catch up with Steven Soderbergh's excellent "High Flying Bird" on Netflix.
