    Episode 613: Enola Holmes 3 review, Movie News LIVE!

    Happy Fourth of July, and Happy 250th, if you're in the United States. We're here to keep you company if you're traveling, heading to the beach or just staying indoors and enjoying the AC because it's too damn hot outside. And if you're joining us from elsewhere in the world, we're delighted you're here. Here's what we reviewed on the latest episode of our Breakfast All Day podcast: ENOLA HOLMES 3. It's not as fun as the first two "Enola Holmes" movies, but watching Millie Bobby Brown break the fourth wall and bust out her comic chops is always a joy. This time, the young detective is preparing to marry Tewkesbury on the island of Malta, but a kidnapping derails her plans. Henry Cavill, Louis Partridge and Helena Bonham Carter co-star. Streaming on Netflix. MOVIE NEWS LIVE! So much to talk about as always, including Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding, the "Backrooms" extended edition, the "Werwulf" trailer, Jon Erwin's use of AI in "Young Washington," Mel Brooks' 100th birthday and more. Join us on Fridays at Noon Pacific. Have a blast and stay safe this holiday weekend! Thanks for sharing some of it with us.

    Episode 612: Minions & Monsters, Young Washington reviews

    Wow, it's July! We have a quick little episode to kick off the month and the second half of the year. Here's what we reviewed on the latest Breakfast All Day podcast: MINIONS & MONSTERS. The third Minion movie and the seventh film in the "Despicable Me" franchise is surprisingly hilarious, as those tiny, yellow chaos agents storm Hollywood and invent cinema as we know it. Lots of classic movie references for the adults in the audience and madcap hilarity for everyone, regardless of age. Allison Janney, Trey Parker, Christoph Waltz and Jesse Eisenberg are among the voice cast. In theaters everywhere now. YOUNG WASHINGTON. Before he was the first president of the United States, George Washington was a scrappy upstart with ambitions and mistakes to make. That's the point of this Angel Studios take on the founding father, set in 1755 Virginia. Starring William Franklyn-Miller, Kelsey Grammer, Ben Kingsley and Mary-Louise Parker. Coming soon to a middle school social studies classroom near you, but playing in theaters starting July 3. We'll be back on Friday with a review of "Enola Holmes 3," plus movie news. See you then, and thanks for sharing some of your summer with us. Subscribe to Christy's Saturday matinee newsletter: https://christylemire.beehiiv.com/

    Episode 611: Supergirl, Jackass: Best and Last, Movie News LIVE!

    Supergirl may not save humanity, but we're always here for you at Breakfast All Day. Here's what we reviewed in our latest episode: SUPERGIRL. It's getting mostly mixed-negative reviews, and we're on the lower end of that scale. We enjoyed Milly Alcock as the aggressively blasé Kara Zor-El, and we really liked Jason Momoa as the imposing Lobo, but for the most part this "Superman" follow-up is a mess. Matthias Schoenaerts and Eve Ridley co-star. In theaters. JACKASS: BEST AND LAST. After more than a quarter century, Johnny Knoxville and his rowdy, masochistic friends can still make you squirm and howl with laughter at their elaborate stunts. But this final "Jackass" movie is also surprisingly poignant. Kids, don't try this at home. In theaters. MOVIE NEWS LIVE! Always a lot to discuss, including "The Bear," "The Odyssey," Eddie Murphy's "Donkey" movie, Ken Russell's "The Devils," the death of music mogul Clive Davis and more.

    Episode 610: The Invite review, Best Movies of 2026 So Far

    Come on over for some charcuterie and film criticism on the latest episode of Breakfast All Day. We have an early review of "The Invite," starring Olivia Wilde, Seth Rogen, Penélope Cruz and Edward Norton. They play neighboring couples in a San Francisco apartment building who get together for a hilarious and exquisitely awkward dinner party. Wilde directs from a screenplay by Will McCormack and Rashida Jones, based on the Spanish film "The People Upstairs." Opening in New York and Los Angeles June 26 before expanding nationwide in upcoming weeks. Then, we thought we'd take a moment at the halfway point of the year to highlight our favorite movies so far. We have a little bit of overlap but also some very different titles, including a couple of movies Alonso has seen that we haven't even reviewed yet. What would you put on your list? Let us know! Check back with us on Friday for reviews of "Supergirl" and "Jackass: Best and Last," plus Movie News LIVE! Subscribe to Christy's Saturday Matinee newsletter: https://christylemire.beehiiv.com/

    Episode 609: The Death of Robin Hood, Leviticus, Movie News LIVE!

    We already reviewed the big movie of the week -- that would be "Toy Story 5" -- so we wanted to tell you about a couple of cool, new indies on this Friday edition of Breakfast All Day: THE DEATH OF ROBIN HOOD. Hugh Jackman stars in this darkly violent version of the Robin Hood legend. Specifically, he wants no part of it, and would rather live out his final days in peace. Michael Sarnoski's film is beautiful but brutal. Co-starring Jodie Comer, Bill Skarsgård and Murray Bartlett. In theaters. LEVITICUS. Two young men (Joe Bird and Stacy Clausen) fall in love in a decaying Australian mill town. Religious leaders force them into a conversion therapy that makes them fear an enigmatic, threatening version of each other. Writer-director Adrian Chiarella executes this inspired horror concept extremely well in his feature filmmaking debut. In theaters. MOVIE NEWS LIVE! This went extra long because there was so much to talk about, including the "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" trailer, Amazon dropping Luca Guadagnino's Sam Altman movie, Fox buying Roku, "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" at Sphere Las Vegas, and Ben Stiller's New York Knicks documentary. Join us on Fridays at Noon Pacific. Thanks for starting your weekend with us! Christy is offering discount Cameos for Father's Day! Only $20 from now until 10pm Pacific on Sunday.

    Episode 608: Toy Story 5 review, Disclosure Day LIVE Spoiler Chat

    Got a couple of biggies for you on this midweek drop here at Breakfast All Day. First, we review "Toy Story 5," the latest installment in the beloved Pixar Animation franchise. This is a step up from the fourth film, with some great new additions alongside the characters you know and love. Tom Hanks, Joan Cusack, Greta Lee, Tim Allen and Conan O'Brien co-star. In theaters June 19. We also did a live spoiler chat about "Disclosure Day." There's so much we didn't want to discuss in our non-spoiler review of Steven Spielberg's new sci-fi epic, particularly the ending. But now that the film has been in theaters for several days, it's time to go in-depth. Listen and share your thoughts. Keep and eye (and ear) out on Friday for reviews of "Leviticus" and "The Death of Robin Hood," as well as our usual Movie News LIVE! Thanks for being here.

    Episode 607: The Furious review, Movie News LIVE!

    The big movie of the week is, of course, "Disclosure Day," which we reviewed in our last Breakfast All Day podcast episode. But other movies do exist, namely "The Furious," a thrilling action film hitting theaters with a ton of well-justified buzz. It's as bloody as it is beautifully choreographed. Co-starring Xie Miao and Joe Taslim as unlikely allies teaming up to infiltrate a child trafficking ring in Southeast Asia. In theaters. We also did our weekly Movie News LIVE! Always a lot to discuss, including early "Disclosure Day" reactions, our picks for top 5 Spielberg films, the trailer for "The Social Reckoning" and more. Join us at our YouTube channel on Fridays at Noon Pacific. Thanks for sharing some of your weekend with us!

    Episode 606: Disclosure Day (NO Spoilers!), Cape Fear (1962), Cape Fear (1991)

    "Disclosure Day" is finally here, and we've got an early, spoiler-free review on this midweek episode of our Breakfast All Day podcast. Steven Spielberg's latest sci-fi summer blockbuster finds Emily Blunt and Josh O'Connor trying to understand their connection with the alien world, and each other. Co-starring Colin Firth, Colman Domingo and Eve Hewson. It's in theaters June 12, but we wanted to talk about it as soon as we possibly could. Come back next Tuesday, June 16 for a "Disclosure Day" LIVE spoiler chat. That'll be at Noon Pacific over at our Breakfast All Day YouTube channel. We also reviewed both versions of "Cape Fear" -- the films from 1962 and 1991 -- in preparation for the Apple TV series, which we've begun recapping right here at our Patreon. Watch along with us and share your thoughts, as well as your memories of Robert Mitchum and Robert De Niro in the terrifying Max Cady role. Thanks for spending some of your time with us!
