 It's a big day around here because Alonso's latest book, "Hollywood Pride," is out in the world for your enjoyment. We celebrated with a livestream while he was in Palm Springs for the launch, and were so happy to see so many of our viewers stop by and ask questions. In case you missed it, here's our conversation in podcast form. And if you'd like to know more about "Hollywood Pride" and order a copy, either in hardcover or audiobook (which Alonso himself narrates), that link is below. Thanks so much for your support!   https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/alonso-duralde/hollywood-pride/9780762485895/

 Alonso's at the Mendocino Film Festival promoting his  "Hollywood Pride" book this week, but nothing could keep us from meeting up with you here at Breakfast All Day. Totally coincidentally, it's Disney Friday. We review "Young Woman and the Sea," starring Daisy Ridley as Trudy Ederle, the first woman to swim the English Channel. It's in theaters in limited release. We also discuss the documentary "Jim Henson Idea Man," from director Ron Howard, which explores the life, career and influence of the mastermind behind "Sesame Street," the Muppets, "Labyrinth" and so much more. It's streaming now on Disney Plus. Finally, we rave about the Oscar-nominated "Robot Dreams," a seemingly sweet animated tale about a dog and his robot in 1980s NYC, which packs a surprising emotional wallop. It's in theaters.  And for our Movie News LIVE! segment, we have a lengthy discussion about why the box office has been so dismal this summer. Quick note for next week: We won't be doing our usual Friday livestream because Christy is having ACL surgery after her skiing accident, but we'll be back on June 14. Thanks as always for sharing some of your time with us!  Lodge Cast Iron has a huge Father's Day sale coming. From June 2-June 16, take up to 20% off all grill pans and griddles with our link.

Episode 462: Movie News LIVE!, Young Woman and the Sea, Jim Henson Idea Man, Robot Dreams

 It's Netflix Day here at Breakfast All Day -- totally by accident, that's just the way it shook out -- but that provides us with a wide variety of movies to review. We discussed the big new movie of the week,  "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga," in an earlier episode, so make sure you check that out. Dave White was kind enough to help out on a couple of reviews while his husband, Alonso, was nursing a cold. First: "Hit Man," a sexy, modern-day noir from Richard Linklater which gives Glen Powell a great showcase of a performance. It's in theaters now and streaming on Netflix starting June 7. Then, we reviewed the empty sci-fi thriller "Atlas," starring Jennifer Lopez. JLo in space should be much more fun than this. It's streaming now on Netflix. Finally, Alonso and I reviewed the documentary "Power," from the Oscar-nominated director Yance Ford. It's about the history of police brutality, and it's a difficult but necessary watch. This one's also streaming now on Netflix. And of course, we did our weekly Movie News LIVE! segment, which Dave was kind enough to share his thoughts on. Among the topics we discussed were Morgan Spurlock, Scarlett Johansson, Riley Keough and our favorite LA movie theaters.

Episode 461: Movie News LIVE!, Hit Man and Atlas With Dave White, Power

 It's a huge episode of Breakfast All Day, and we're so glad you're here for it. We have a super early review of "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga," which one of us liked a lot more than the other. George Miller's epic is in theaters May 24. We also review the Amy Winehouse biopic "Back to Black" and the pregnancy comedy "Babes," both of which are in theaters now. We start as always on Fridays with Movie News LIVE!, including Cannes Film Festival premieres, a "Legally Blonde" prequel, a "Road House" sequel and more.

Episode 460: Movie News LIVE!, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, Back to Black, Babes

 It's a jam-packed episode full of summertime treats on the latest Breakfast All Day. For your weekly dose of blockbuster escapism, we review "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes," which we were just so-so on, especially given how satisfying "War for the Planet of the Apes" was seven years ago. We also discuss a couple of indies in theaters: the L.A. noir comedy "Poolman," Chris Pine's directorial debut, which is being savaged critically; and the trippy and transporting "I Saw the TV Glow" from transgender director Jane Schoenbrun. But first: Movie News LIVE!, where we talked about John Mulaney's "Everybody's In L.A." series on Netflix, a new "Lord of the Rings" movie, season 3 of "The Bear," the Met Gala and more. And over at our Patreon, we recap episodes 3 and 4 of "The Sympathizer" on Max. Thanks for sharing some of your time with us!
