Breakfast All Day movie reviews

• Episode 545: The Naked Gun (2025), Together (With Tim Grierson), Happy Gilmore (1996), Happy Gilmore 2 (Spoilers!)

  It's an eclectic week around here at Breakfast All Day with comedies old and new, a little body horror, and a good friend stopping by to share his insights. We begin with "The Naked Gun," a reboot of the classic comedy franchise, based on the brilliantly zany "Police Squad!" series. Liam Neeson stars as the bumbling Lt. Frank Drebin Jr., opposite femme fatale Pamela Anderson. We laughed a lot, and it's only 85 minutes long. In theaters. Next, Tim Grierson steps in to help Christy with a review of "Together." Real-life husband and wife Dave Franco and Alison Brie play a longtime couple exploring their co-dependency when they move to the country. In theaters. Finally, with "Happy Gilmore 2" now streaming on Netflix, we reviewed that AND watched the original "Happy Gilmore" from 1996. Somehow, neither of us had seen this essential Adam Sandler comedy. So you get back-to-back reviews of both movies in the second half of the episode. We promise to return to Movie News LIVE! next Friday. It's been a busy few weeks with travel and deadlines, and we appreciate you being here with us as we're scattered about during the summer. Thanks for listening.

• Episode 544: The Fantastic Four: First Steps movie review

  Just a quick pop-in during summer vacation here at Breakfast All Day. But we couldn't leave you hanging without a review of "The Fantastic Four: First Steps." Christy saw it in Boston, Alonso saw it in Los Angeles, and while there isn't a nation-sized gap in their opinions, they also don't agree on how well it works. The latest blockbuster in the Marvel Cinematic Universe stars Pedro Pescal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn and Ebon Moss-Bachrach. Matt Shakman ("WandaVision") directs. It's in theaters this weekend. Will you see it? And for our Patreon subscribers, we wrapped up "Poker Face" season 2, and continued with recaps of "The Bear" and "The Gilded Age." If you're a member of Lunch Date, make sure you join us for our monthly online meet-up, which will be Monday, June 28 at Noon Pacific. More details are available at the Membership tab.

• Episode 543: Eddington, No Deposit No Return: Was It Great of Were You 8?, Superman LIVE Spoiler Chat

  We're both out of town but never far away from you at Breakfast All Day. This week, we begin with a review of Ari Aster's latest, "Eddington," which takes us back to the tumultuous summer of 2020 between the pandemic and the Black Lives Matter protests. Aster follows up 2023's "Beau Is Afraid" with another nightmarish exploration of our current times, placing Joaquin Phoenix at the center once again. This one was designed to be divisive. In theaters now. Then for something a little sweeter, it was Alonso's turn to pick a movie he loved from childhood for the latest round of our favorite game: Was It Great or Were You 8? This time, he chose the 1976 Disney live-action comedy "No Deposit, No Return," starring Don Knotts, David Niven and a pre-Real Housewives Kim Richards. Christy had never even heard of this movie. Have you seen it? Finally, we did a LIVE spoiler chat about "Superman," now that the movie has been out for a week. We had a great turnout, especially given that it's a summer Friday. Apologies in advance for the audio issues toward the end: We both froze and couldn't hear each other, so we wrapped up quickly. Keep an eye out for our review of "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" early next week. Thanks for sharing some of your time with us!

• Episode 542: Superman (2025) Movie Review (NO Spoilers!)

  Just one review for you on the latest episode of Breakfast All Day, but it's a biggie -- probably THE biggest movie of the summer. We couldn't wait to talk about "Superman," writer-director James Gunn's wildly entertaining take on the iconic comic book hero. David Corenswet is a perfect Man of Steel, and he has terrific chemistry with Rachel Brosnahan as a quick-witted Lois Lane. Plus, Krypto is the best good boy. The movie comes out on July 11, and you should definitely see it in IMAX if you have the chance. This is a spoiler-free review, but we're planning on doing a LIVE spoiler chat at some point in the next couple of weeks. We're both in and out of town, but we always love seeing you and hearing your thoughts. Thanks for sharing some of your time with us this summer!

• Episode 541: Jurassic World: Rebirth, In the Mood for Love (2000), This Is Spinal Tap (1984), The Best Movies of the 21st Century

  It's an explosive episode of the Breakfast All Day podcast for you on this Fourth of July holiday. We begin with the big movie of the week, "Jurassic World: Rebirth" which aims to reboot the decades-long "Jurassic" franchise. Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali and Jonathan Bailey are all wildly overqualified for running from freakish, mutant dinosaurs. In theaters. Next up is one of the best movies ever made, and that's not hyperbole: Wong Kar Wai's masterpiece "In the Mood for Love" is back in theaters for its 25th anniversary. If you've never seen this gorgeous, achingly romantic movie projected, here's your chance. The impossibly glamorous Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung co-star. Check here to see if it's playing near you: https://inthemoodforlove25.film/. Then we have another throwback review: "This Is Spinal Tap," which is in theaters for its 41st anniversary. The OG mockumentary about a British rock band on the decline is still hilarious and infinitely quotable all these years later. It's back for a limited run, and you can get tickets here: https://www.fathomentertainment.com/releases/this-is-spinal-tap/. Finally, we did our version of The New York Times' list of the best films of the century. We each picked 10 favorites from the past 25 years, but came at it from different perspectives with very different results. This was a tough but fun assignment! What would you put on your list? Thanks for being here and enjoy the holiday weekend! Subscribe to Christy's Saturday Matinee newsletter: https://christylemire.beehiiv.com/
