We've got more zombies than you can shake a stick at this week on Breakfast All Day.

First off, we review "28 Years Later," the long-awaited reunion of Danny Boyle and Alex Garland in a Britain plagued by rage virus. This is a non-spoiler review, but we're doing a live spoiler chat at our YouTube channel on Wednesday, June 25 at Noon Pacific, so check back with us then and share your thoughts. In theaters now.

Then we catch up with the two films that preceded it: "28 Days Later" (2002) and "28 Weeks Later" (2007). We realized in retrospect that you don't need to have seen either of these movies to get into the new one, but we were glad to have the conversations.

If you're looking for something a little more lighthearted for the whole family, there's "Elio," the latest animated adventure from Disney Pixar. It's a sweet, gentle film for these stressful times about a misfit kid who dreams of having aliens abduct him. This is minor Pixar, but it's beautiful. In theaters.

Finally, we wrap up with a lengthy Movie News LIVE! Among the topics we discuss are the "Jaws" 50th anniversary, the "Brokeback Mountain" 20th anniversary, the trailer for the new Bruce Springsteen biopic "Deliver Me From Nowhere," and Francis Ford Coppola taking "Megalopolis" on the road. Thanks for joining us!

It's a mixed bag of summer movies with a special guest stopping by on the latest episode of Breakfast All Day.

We begin with a review of "Materialists," Celine Song's follow-up to her Oscar-nominated 2023 drama "Past Lives." Dakota Johnson plays a New York City matchmaker who must choose between Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal. It's the eternal conundrum. In theaters.

Then our good friend William Bibbiani drops in to help out with a review of "How to Train Your Dragon." If you've seen the beloved animated original, you've seen this live-action remake. Mason Thames, Nico Parker and Gerard Butler co-star. In theaters now.

And we wrap up with a re-watch of "Rogue One," the 2016 "Star Wars" movie about the mission to steal the Death Star plans. Now that the phenomenal prequel series "Andor" has finished, we wanted to see how this film plays with fresh perspective. Have you seen "Rogue One" lately? Let us know your thoughts.

No news this week, but we hope to catch up with you next Friday. Have a great weekend, and if you're going to a No Kings protest on Saturday, stay safe!

School's out for summer, so we've got a jam-packed episode of Breakfast All Day to help you fill those lazy days. This time we review:

• "Ballerina," the "John Wick" spin-off starring Ana de Armas. It's silly fun. In theaters in wide release.
• "The Life of Chuck," a feel-good drama that didn't make us feel particularly good. In limited release now, opening wide June 13.
• "Mountainhead" a deliciously mean satire about tech billionaires from "Succession" creator Jesse Armstrong. Streaming on HBO Max.
• "Dogma," the 1999 Kevin Smith religious comedy that's back in a 4K restoration on 1,500 screens: https://dogmamovie.com/
• Movie News LIVE! Lots to discuss including Pedro Alodovar's Christmas movie, Will Ferrell doing a "Eurovision" Broadway musical and the $80 Galactus popcorn bucket.

We've got a grab bag of summer movies and a guest star filling in this week on Breakfast All Day.

We begin with "The Phoenician Scheme," the latest overstuffed, star-studded extravaganza from Wes Anderson. The ensemble cast this time features some old and new Anderson players: Benicio Del Toro, Michael Cera, Tom Hanks, Bryan Cranston, Jeffrey Wright, Scarlett Johansson, Riz Ahmed, Benedict Cumberbatch and Mia Threapleton, who steals the show. In limited release this weekend, opening nationwide next weekend.

Next, Alonso's husband, Dave White, helps out on a review of the A24 horror movie "Bring Her Back." The Philippou brothers follow up their 2022 hit "Talk to Me" with another deeply disturbing film about loss, grief, and a desire to connect supernaturally with the other side. Sally Hawkins stars as the world's worst foster mom. In theaters now.

And we wanted to share the audio from our live spoiler chat about "Mission: Impossible -- The Final Reckoning." We has a great turnout earlier this week to dig into all the ways the eighth Ethan Hunt adventure ties into previous installments, as well as who lives and who dies. We love doing these spoiler talks and we'll be sure to plan more as the summer progresses. Thanks for being here!

It's Friendship Week here at Breakfast All Day. And we've come to cause delightful and adorable chaos over the long holiday. If you're looking for our review of the new "Mission: Impossible," we did that in last week's episode.

First, we discuss the new "Lilo & Stitch," which is an awful lot like the old "Lilo & Stitch." Disney is once again redoing their animated favorites as live-action features. We're mixed on it, but families will enjoy it, and the casting is great. In theaters.

Then we catch up with the cringe comedy of "Friendship" from A24. Tim Robinson and Paul Rudd co-star as neighbors who become unlikely pals really quickly, then have a really ugly falling out. We don't agree on how well this movie works. It's been playing in limited release but expands nationwide this weekend.

Finally, we have our first Movie News LIVE! in a few weeks, now that things are getting back to normal for Christy, health-wide. Lots to talk about including the Cannes Film Festival, Alex Garland's "Elden Ring" movie, Michael Bay's "Skibidi Toilet" movie, trailers for Darren Aronofsky's "Caught Stealing" and "The Bear" S4, Billy Joel's sad medical diagnosis and more. We're hoping to get back to these livestreams more consistently now, so stay tuned.

Thanks for sharing some of your time with us!

Getting back to normal just in time for the summer movie season to heat up here at Breakfast All Day. Thanks for your patience.

We begin with a super-early, spoiler-free review of "Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning," the eighth and supposedly final film in the action franchise. Tom Cruise delivers an even more extreme version of the insane stunts you've come to expect from the series. It's exhausting, and overlong, but fun. In theaters May 23.

Next up is "Final Destination Bloodlines," which is also insane, and fun. You don't have to have seen any of the previous five movies to enjoy the elaborate, meticulously paced kills, but there are Easter eggs for the fans. In theaters now.

We wrap up with "Hurry Up Tomorrow," starring The Weeknd as a version of himself: a pop star with a self-destructive streak who has an intense, emotional connection with a fan (Jenna Ortega). There's some artistry on display but the movie is mostly cringe. In theaters.

And for our Patreon subscribers, we have a lengthy recap of the last three episodes of "Andor," and more. We're gonna miss that show, but we don't have to miss you. Thanks for being here.

Summer's here -- at least at the movie theater -- so we've got a jam-packed episode of Breakfast All Day for you.

We begin with the movie that's kicking off blockbuster season: "Thunderbolts*," with an asterisk. It's the latest film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the best one in a long time. We really enjoyed this. In theaters.

Next up is "Another Simple Favor," the sequel to the 2018 comic thriller "A Simple Favor." Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick reunite, and while there's not much spark left, the clothes are still spectacular. Streaming on Prime Video.

Then, we honor the beautiful work of the late Halyna Hutchins with a review of "Rust." The cinematographer died in an accidental shooting during production on the Western. Now that the film is out -- and that proceeds are going to Hutchins' family -- we wanted to watch and discuss it. In theaters and on VOD.  

Finally, we catch up with "Havoc," which has been the No. 1 movie on Netflix for some reason. Tom Hardy plays a detective in a drug war between the city's corrupt mayor and its corrupt police department. From the director of "The Raid" movies. Streaming now.

Plus, we did a Movie News LIVE! for the last time before Christy's lumpectomy on Monday. We're not sure what May is going to look like, but we wanted to make sure and say hi to our folks one more time. Among the topics we discussed were Jeremy Renner, "Sgt. Rock," John Mulaney's Netflix show and more.

We'll keep you posted on our plans through Christy's Saturday Matinee newsletter. Subscribe through the link below Thanks for your support!

April's gonna April, with a couple of forgettable action flicks we're mixed on as we wait for the summer blockbusters to arrive.

We begin with "The Accountant 2," which is the sequel to "The Accountant," and if you forgot that 2016 movie even existed, you're not alone. Ben Affleck is back as a math whiz with a particular set of skills. Jon Bernthal co-stars. In theaters.

Then, we catch up with "Drop," which several people asked us to review. It's another twisty, high-concept thriller from "Happy Death Day" director Christopher Landon. Meghann Fahy ("The White Lotus" S2) goes on a first date and starts getting menacing messages on her phone. In theaters.

Finally, we're here for you with Movie News LIVE!: Oscar voting changes, the "Heartstopper" movie, the Turner Classic Movie festival and more. We'll try and do this as often as we can over the next couple months on Fridays at Noon Pacific, so keep an eye out and join us.

Thanks as always for being here at Breakfast All Day!

It's a massive catch-up episode of the Breakfast All Day podcast. New stuff! Sorta new stuff! And a lengthy movie news segment to cover all the topics we missed during spring break.

We begin with a review of the epic "Sinners," one of the year's most anticipated films, which lives up to the hype and more. Ryan Coogler re-teams with his frequent muse, Michael B. Jordan, who plays dual roles as identical twins in 1930s Mississippi. We loved it. In theaters (and see it in IMAX if you can.)

Next up is "A Minecraft Movie," which has been out for a couple of weeks but we missed it over vacation. We were surprised how much we enjoyed it (and behaved ourselves during the chicken jockey of it all). In theaters.

Next: We review Andrew Ahn's remake of the 1993 Ang Lee arthouse classic "A Wedding Banquet." Bowen Yang, Lily Gladstone and Kelly Marie Tran are among the cast in this romantic comedy about queer couples juggling love and cultural traditions. In theaters.

And then, we wanted to include the audio from our "Secret Mall Apartment" review from a couple weeks back. This thoroughly entertaining documentary follows a group of artists who found a hidden spot in the middle of the Providence Place Mall and called it home for several years in the early 2000s. Find out here when it's playing near you: https://secretmallapartment.com/buy-tickets

Finally, Movie News LIVE! is back. Lots to discuss, including the new "Fantastic Four" trailer, "The Breakfast Club" reunion, Aimee Lou Wood, Fyre Festival 2 and more. We'll try to be as consistent as possible with news over the busy next couple of months. Thanks for being here!

We couldn't have imagined a more random episode to leave you with before spring break, but hopefully there's a little something for everyone here at Breakfast All Day.

We begin with "The Friend," a warm and wise drama about grief, healing, and a 150-pound Great Dane. We don't totally agree on how well this movie works, but the dog is amazing. Starring Naomi Watts, Bill Murray, Carla Gugino and Ann Dowd. In theaters.

Next up is the four-part anthology "Freaky Tales," from "Captain Marvel" filmmakers Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, returning to their indie roots. Pedro Pascal, Ben Mendelsohn, Jay Ellis, Dominique Thorne and Too $hort are among the stars of this intertwined homage to 1987 Oakland. In theaters.

Finally, we catch up with "Holland," but you're welcome to avoid it. Nicole Kidman, Matthew Macfadyen and Gael García Bernal star in this overly familiar dark comedy about secrets lurking beneath the pristine veneer of small-town America. Streaming on Prime Video.

No news this week because Christy's on vacation. But if you're a member of our Patreon, keep an eye out for our recap of "The White Lotus" season finale on Monday morning. Thanks for being here!
