It's our last episode of 2024! If you're out and about running those final few errands and buying last-minute gifts, we'd be delighted to keep you company with some movie reviews here at Breakfast All Day.

First, we catch up with "Carry-On," a lean, mean thriller from Spanish action director Jaume Collet-Serra ("Unknown, "Orphan," "The Shallows"). Taron Eegrton stars as a TSA agent stuck working at LAX on Christmas Eve. Jason Bateman is the menacing voice on an earpiece who makes him put a suspicious suitcase through security -- or else. Hopefuly your travels are less hectic. Streaming now on Netflix.

Then, we review the latest from another Spanish director, the legendary Pedro Almodóvar. "The Room Next Door" is his first English-language feature. Julianne Moore and Tilda Swinton star as old friends who reconnect after many years. When Swinton's character asks Moore's character for a major favor, it tests their bond. In theaters now in limited release, going wider in upcoming weeks.

Thank you so much for being a part of things here all year long. We're about to hit 1 million downloads, and we deeply appreciate having you spend some time with us. Keep an eye (and an ear) out for our top 10 lists at the start of January. Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy New Year, and we can't wait to see you in 2025.
