Episode 601: The Mandalorian and Grogu (NO Spoilers!), Obsession reviews
Breakfast All Day movie reviewsShow Notes
It's not exactly an Arthouse Tuesday, but it is a Tuesday here at Breakfast All Day. Here's what we've got for you on our latest episode: THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU (NO Spoilers!). We had a lot of fun with this standalone "Mandalorian" movie, a big-screen version of the Disney+ series. (We recapped all three seasons, in case you'd like to revisit the show with us at our Patreon; these videos are also available for individual purchase for our free members, as is the whole collection.) Pedro Pascal returns as the stoic bounty hunter, alongside his gifted, green sidekick, Grogu. They go on adventures across the galaxy. Summer is here! In theaters Friday.
OBSESSION. So many of you asked us to review this, so of course we had to do just that, even though Alonso is admittedly a chicken about horror movies. We both dug this one though, from YouTuber-turned-filmmaker Curry Barker. A meek guy (Michael Johnston) is too afraid to tell the girl of his dreams (a tremendous Inde Navarrette) that he's interested in her, so he buys a novelty item and makes a wish for her to fall in love with him instead. Things do not go as planned. In theaters now.
Mark your calendars for Noon Pacific on Friday, May 22, when we'll be back with Movie News LIVE! at our YouTube channel. And join us again at Noon Pacific on Tuesday, May 26, when we'll do a LIVE spoiler chat about "The Mandalorian and Grogu." See you then!

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
