    Episode 590: Ready or Not 2: Here I Come review, Movie News

    It's quiet lately as we recover from the Oscars here at Breakfast All Day. We reviewed the week's big, new movie, "Project Hail Mary" in an earlier episode. And we didn't do our usual Friday livestream because of some schedule juggling.  BUT! We did review "Ready or Not 2: Here I Come," the sequel to the 2019 horror comedy hit "Ready or Not." Can you believe there are more Satan-worshipping billionaires trying to kill Samara Weaving? That's in theaters this weekend. And we touched on a few news items off the top, including the big box office opening for "Project Hail Mary," new trailers in the "Spider-Man" and "Dune" franchises (it's Zendaya Day!), and a few thoughts on the passing of Chuck Norris. Thanks for joining us. Come hang out with Christy and Alonso and watch "After Hours" at the Gardena Cinema! We're showing Martin Scorsese's 1985 comedy on Saturday, March 21. Doors open at 6pm, we'll chat with folks in the lobby, then the movie starts at 7. Tickets are available here. Subscribe to Christy's Saturday Matinee newsletter: https://christylemire.beehiiv.com/

    Introducing Mike Cessario: ”No investor was gonna write me a check for the concept.” from Math & Magic: Stories from the Frontiers of Marketing with Bob Pittman. Follow the show: Math & Magic: Stories from the Frontiers of Marketing with Bob Pittman A skull-emblazoned design with a funny slogan is just not what people expect when they’re buying a healthy beverage. But that’s exactly why Liquid Death Founder and CEO Mike Cessario thought there was room for disruption. He didn’t think funny, cool, irreverent marketing should be limited to things that are bad for you. What if this approach could even help people make healthier choices? Now the healthy beverage company trying to “Murder Your Thirst” has expanded to soda-flavored sparkling water, iced tea, and energy drinks and it was valued at $1.4 billion in March 2024. Mike sits down with Bob to talk about how he got from inspiration, to concept, to funding an original order of 150,000 cans. He has great insights on both creativity and analytics, shares lessons from all the surprises and challenges he faced in becoming an entrepreneur and explains why he dislikes traditional marketing as much as most people do.

    Episode 589: 2026 Oscar Reactions LIVE Chat!

    There was so much to talk about at this year's Oscars that we wanted to come back the next day for more. This is the audio of the Monday morning reactions livestream we did on our Breakfast All Day YouTube channel. How accurately did you pick the winners? Did you have "One Battle After Another" or "Sinners" for best picture? And what did you think of the speeches, the gowns, and Conan's wacky sketches? (We did enjoy his Aunt Gladys opening.) Thanks so much for spending awards season with us and sharing your insights! And if you'd like to see us in person, we're showing 1985's "After Hours" at the Gardena Cinema this weekend. Join us on Saturday, March 21. Doors open at 6pm, we'll be there to hang out in the lobby, then the movie starts at 7pm. If you've never seen this weird-ass Scorsese movie projected, this is a great opportunity. Tickets are available here. Support your local arthouse theater!

    Episode 588: Project Hail Mary, It's Dorothy!, Movie News LIVE!

    We're taking it easy as we head into this busy Oscar weekend at Breakfast All Day. Here's what we reviewed in our latest episode: PROJECT HAIL MARY. This is a super-early review of the Ryan Gosling-in-space comedy, which doesn't even come out until March 20. But there's so much expectation for it, we wanted to share our throughts as soon as we could. Phil Lord and Christopher Miller direct from a script by Drew Goddard, based on the Andy Weir novel. In theaters next weekend. IT'S DOROTHY! This documentary provides a fresh and clever perspective on the character of Dorothy Gale and the cultural significance of "The Wizard of Oz" in all its incarnations. Writer-director-editor Jeffrey McHale is a friend of ours (we interviewed him here about his "Showgirls" documentary with the brilliant title "You Don't Nomi"), so we didn't give this a number, but genuinely liked the movie so much that we wanted to tell you about it. Streaming on Peacock. MOVIE NEWS LIVE! Our last one before the Academy Awards. Lots to discuss including Timothée Chalamet angering the ballet and opera communities, a sequel for "KPop Demon Hunters," the George Michael "Faith Tour" movie, a Stewie spin-off from "Family Guy" and more. Join us on Fridays at Noon Pacific at our YouTube channel. A few things to put on your calendar: Join us Sunday for our LIVE Oscar Watch Party! We'll be at our channel starting at 330pm Pacific and we'll be hanging out for the whole show. This is always so much fun every year, so come and share your thoughts. Then come back Monday morning for our Oscars Reaction Live Chat! In case you can't make it Sunday night, or you just want to go over everything that happened, we'll be back at our channel at 9am Pacific.  And on Saturday, March 21, we're showing "After Hours" at the Gardena Cinema. If you've never seen this Martin Scorsese comedy classic and you're in the LA area, this is a great opportunity. Doors open at 6pm, we'll be there for a little meet and greet, and then the film will start at 7. Tickets are available here. Support your local arthouse theater!

    Episode 587: 2026 Oscar Predictions LIVE Chat With Glenn Whipp

    It's one of our favorite days during awards season: when our great friend Glenn Whipp of the Los Angeles Times joins us to help out with Oscar picks. Glenn covers awards races year-round, and always has lots of insider insight. The three of us don't agree on everything -- we're split on best picture, for example -- but other categories like best actress seem pretty clear at this point. What do you hope to see win? What do you think will win? And are those the same thing? Here's a link to a downloadable, printable ballot. Bring it with you on Sunday night, when we'll be doing out annual Oscar livestream. We'll be at our Breakfast All Day YouTube channel starting at 330pm Pacific time on Sunday, March 15, and the ceremony begins at 4. Link to that coming soon. And whether or not you can make it on Sunday night, we're also doing a reaction livestream at 9am Pacific time on Monday. We look forward to seeing you and hearing your thoughts!

    Episode 586: The Bride!, The Voice of Hind Rajab, The Perfect Neighbor, Mr. Nobody Against Putin, Movie News LIVE!

    It's an absolutely packed episode a week away from the Oscars. We're playing some catch-up with nominees and we've got one monster of a new release. Here's what we have for you: THE BRIDE! That exclamation point says it all. Writer-director Maggie Gyllenhaal's wild and bold update of "The Bride of Frankenstein" mixes tones and genres in a way that's dividing critics (including us). Jessie Buckley and Christian Bale co-star. In theaters. THE VOICE OF HIND RAJAB. The last of the five nominees in the best international feature category for us to discuss here. Tunisian filmmaker Kaouther Ben Hania mixes the real-life audio of a 5-year-old Palestinian trapped in a car in Gaza with actors playing the emergency operators on the other end of the line. We don't agree on this film, either, but it has moved many audiences deeply. Available for online rental. THE PERFECT NEIGHBOR. Nominated for best documentary feature, this Netflix film is composed entirely of deputies' body cam footage of a neighborhood where a deadly shooting ripped the multicultural community apart. We think this is the front-runner for the Academy Award, if only because it's probably the one most people saw (plus, it's great). Streaming now. MR. NOBODY AGAINST PUTIN. Russian school teacher Pavel Talankin bravely documents Putin's propagandist efforts to indoctrinate young minds at the start of the Ukraine invasion. You come to really care about him and the kids in his care, particularly the teens who are facing an uncertain future. This is also up for the best documentary feature Oscar. Available for online rental. MOVIE NEWS LIVE! Another busy week between early reactions to "The Bride!", HBO Max and Paramount + merging into one streaming platform, Daryl Hannah's op-ed about how she's portrayed in Ryan Murphy's "Love Story," the "Little House on the Prairie" reboot, and Catherine O'Hara's posthumous Actor Award. Join us here on Fridays at Noon Pacific. Thanks for being here! Make sure to join us Tuesday at Noon Pacific for our Oscar predictions livestream with Glenn Whipp from the LA Times: https://youtube.com/live/PTrb9bx-d4E?feature=share

    Episode 585: Scream 7 (NO Spoilers!), In the Blink of an Eye, Movie News LIVE!

    The end of February is a cinematic wasteland -- you're better off catching up with Oscar nominees -- but if you'd like to see a new movie, we've got you covered here at Breakfast All Day. Here's what we reviewed on our latest episode. SCREAM 7. It's the seventh "Scream" movie, so you can imagine how totally bereft of fresh ideas they are by now. But hey, Neve Campbell is back. This is a non-spoiler review. In theaters. IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE. Legendary Pixar director Andrew Stanton ("Finding Nemo," "WALL-E") makes a rare live-action movie: a maudlin slog about intertwined lives across the past, present and future. Kate McKinnon, Rashida Jones and Daveed Diggs star. Streaming on Hulu. MOVIE NEWS LIVE! So much to talk about, including Skydance Paramount potentially taking over Warner Bros., the Actor Awards on Sunday, "Heated Rivalry" season 2, Rock n Roll Hall of Fame nominees, Gwyneth Paltrow auctioning off her clothes for charity, and more. Join us every Friday at Noon Pacific. Thanks for being here! Have a great weekend. Subscribe to Christy's Saturday Matinee newsletter: https://christylemire.beehiiv.com/

    Episode 584: EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert, Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie, Movie News LIVE!

    We're taking care of business here at Breakfast All Day. Here's what we reviewed for you on our latest episode: EPiC: ELVIS PRESLEY IN CONCERT. Baz Luhrmann digs through the archives to find 59 hours of never-before-seen footage from Elvis Presley's Las Vegas run. The results are thrilling. Whether or not you're a massive Elvis fan, you'll come away with an appreciation for his singular showmanship: They don't call him The King for nothing. Playing exclusively in IMAX for the next week (which is really how you should see it) before opening on more screens Feb. 27. NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW THE MOVIE. So many of our viewers asked us to review this, and we're so glad we did. The cult-favorite Canadian web series is now a full-length feature film. Longtime friends and collaborators Matt Johnson and Jay McCarrol are still scheming to book a gig at the Rivoli in Toronto. You don't need to know a single thing about this show to enjoy this energetic time-travel comedy. In theaters. MOVIE NEWS LIVE! Lots to discuss as always, including the deaths of Robert Duvall, Frederick Wiseman and Eric Dane. Plus: Stephen Colbert standing up to CBS, and the trailer for "The Mandalorian and Grogu." Join us every Friday at Noon Pacific. Thanks for being here, and have a great weekend! Subscribe to Christy's Saturday Matinee newsletter: https://christylemire.beehiiv.com/
