Happy June! We've got a couple of reviews to kick off your month here at Breakfast All Day: PRESSURE. We're catching up with this ultimate dad movie, which looks like it's about D-Day, but it's actually about weather. A solid, old-fashioned World War II drama. Andrew Scott, Brendan Fraser, Kerry Condon, Damian Lewis and Chris Messina star. In theaters. BACKROOMS LIVE SPOILER CHAT. There's so much we didn't want to ruin in our spoiler-free review of the A24 horror movie last week. But now that it's out -- and so many people have seen it -- we thought it was time to go more in-depth. This was a great conversation. Keep an eye out for more spoiler livestreams throughout the summer. Thanks for being here with us midweek! Subscribe to Christy's Saturday Matinee newsletter: https://christylemire.beehiiv.com/
We're kicking off the weekend with an absolutely packed episode of Breakfast All Day. Here's what we've got for you: BACKROOMS. There's so much buzz and expectation about this steadily creepy horror movie from 20-year-old YouTuber Kane Parsons. It's definitely effective in creating a feeling of unease that lingers long afterward, and it's a wonder of production design. Chiwetel Ejiofor stars as the owner of a furniture store who discovers a sprawl of surreal office spaces. Renate Reinsve is his therapist who tries to save him. Check back for our LIVE spoiler chat on Tuesday at Noon Pacific at our YouTube channel. In theaters. POWER BALLAD. Paul Rudd and Nick Jonas co-star in the latest from writer-director John Carney ("Once," "Sing Street," "Begin Again"). Rudd is a wedding singer who never made it big; Jonas is a pop star who wants to prove he's a serious artist. A night of drinking and collaborating leads to a smash hit, but the credit is in question. We don't agree on this one. In theaters in limited release before opening nationwide June 5. THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU LIVE SPOILER CHAT. Here we go into everything we didn't want to ruin in our non-spoiler review of the latest in the "Star Wars" saga. It's getting wildly mixed reviews -- have you seen it? Listen and let us know your thoughts. MOVIE NEWS LIVE! Lots to talk about as always, including the huge opening night for "Backrooms," early reactions to Spielberg's "Disclosure Day," Armie Hammer's attempt at a comeback, and all the musical acts pulling out of the Freedom 250 concerts.

It's a long holiday weekend, so an extra-long episode of our Breakfast Al Day podcast seems fitting. Here's what we reviewed as we head into Memorial Day: I LOVE BOOSTERS. Boots Riley is back with another maximalist, absurdist comedy. He follows up 2018's "Sorry to Bother You" with the story of a group of women who steal designer clothes and sell them at discount prices. Starring Keke Palmer, Taylour Paige, Naomi Ackie and Demi Moore. In theaters. TUNER. The best new movie of the week. Oscar-winning documentarian Daniel Roher ("Navalny") makes his narrative feature debut with the story of a New York piano tuner (Leo Woodall) who uses his super-sensitive hearing to work as a safecracker on the side. Co-starring Dustin Hoffman and Havana Rose Liu. In limited release now, opening nationwide May 29. IS GOD IS. We got a ton of requests to catch up with this stylish Southern thriller from last week, and we're so glad we did. Writer-director Aleshea Harris adapts her stage play about twins who go on a cross-country road trip of revenge against their father, who tried to kill their mother. Kara Young and Mallori Johnson are both tremendous. This is a must-see. In theaters. MOVIE NEWS LIVE! We're back with lots to discuss, including "The Mandalorian and Grogu," "The Boys" series finale, the last Stephen Colbert show, Tom Hardy getting fired from "MobLand," the Cannes Film Festival and more. Join us on Fridays at Noon Pacific. Thanks for starting your weekend with us! Subscribe to Christy's Saturday Matinee newsletter: https://christylemire.beehiiv.com/
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 our 600th episode! And we're marking this auspicious occasion with one of our more random episodes. Here's what we reviewed this week on Breakfast All Day: MORTAL KOMBAT II. This sequel was a huge hit last weekend, so we decided to catch up with it. Plus, we apparently reviewed the first "Mortal Kombat" five years ago, which wasn't a particularly memorable experience for either of us. Karl Urban IS Johnny Cage. As video game adaptations go, it's not terrible, but it's also not stupid enough. In theaters. MARTY, LIFE IS SHORT. The delightful Martin Short is the subject of this warm and affectionate documentary. Name someone you love from the Canadian comedy world and they're probably in this movie. Lawrence Kasdan's film features intimate home movies and candid interviews. Streaming on Netflix. THE PUNISHER: ONE LAST KILL. This one-off installment in the Punisher franchise finds Frank Castle contending with old demons and taking on new foes. Jon Bernthal is a formidable presence as always, and he co-wrote the script with director Reinaldo Marcus Green. Streaming now on Disney+. This is the kind of TV recap we do every week on our Breakfast All Day Patreon, so if you enjoyed this conversation, come join us here. Thanks for hanging out with us! Keep an eye out next week for reviews of "The Mandalorian and Grogu," "Obsession" and more. Subscribe to Christy's Saturday Matinee newsletter: https://christylemire.beehiiv.com/
Birds of a feather stick together -- and so do sheep -- on this week's episode of the Breakfast All Day podcast. Here's what we reviewed for you: THE SHEEP DETECTIVES. Hugh Jackman stars as a shepherd at a cozy English farm. When he's murdered, the sheep try to figure out who committed the crime. This movie is shockingly great. Co-starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Bryan Cranston, Nicholas Braun, Emma Thompson and Nicholas Galitzine. In theaters. BILLIE EILISH - HIT ME HARD AND SOFT: THE TOUR (LIVE IN 3D): The title is clunky but the movie is thrilling. Eilish co-directed this concert film with James Cameron, captured over four nights in Manchester during her "Hit Me Hard and Soft Tour." It's beautiful and vibrant, intimate and awe-inspiring at once. In theaters. MOVIE NEWS LIVE! We're back after a week away to discuss "The Boys," "The Bear," "The Odyssey," the Met Gala, Ted Turner and more. We're off again next Friday, but come on back on May 22.

It's s super-stylish Saturday here at Breakfast All Day. We took Friday off to honor the May Day work stoppage, but we're back to kick off your weekend. Here's what we reviewed: THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA 2. Twenty years later, everyone's back at Runway magazine, but Runway magazine is a shell of its former self. This is a sad movie about the state of modern journalism, but the clothes are still fun. Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Stanley Tucci and Emily Blunt star. This one's gonna be huge. In theaters. THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA (2006). Of course we had to go back and review the original film, which was a massive, crowd-pleasing hit that remains infinitely meme-able. It's the definition of the breezy, escapist rom-com. The sequel is very different. HOKUM. Adam Scott goes to Ireland and stays in a charming, countryside inn. Weird things start happening. Writer-director Damian McCarthy's film is a trip, and Scott is great in it. In theaters. MILE END KICKS. We both loved this romantic comedy, which takes place in the cool Montreal neighborhood of Mile End. Barbie Ferreira stars as a young music critic who moves to the city in the summer of 2011 to cover its indie rock scene. From writer-director Chandler Levack. In theaters.

We reviewed the big movie of the weekend, the Michael Jackson biopic "Michael," on Tuesday. But there are plenty of other new releases as we await the summer crush. Here's what we discussed in the latest episode of our Breakfast All Day podcast: OVER YOUR DEAD BODY. Samara Weaving and Jason Segel play a miserable married couple who go on a weekend getaway to work on their relationship -- or so they've told each other. Timothy Olyphant and Juliette Lewis co-star in this twisty action comedy from director Jorma Taccone ("Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping"). In theaters. I SWEAR. Robert Aramayo was the surprise best actor winner at the BAFTAs this year for his portrayal of John Davidson, a Scottish man with Tourette syndrome. Writer-director Kirk Jones' film is formulaic in its depiction of adversity, but its heart is in the right place. Maxine Peake, Shirley Henderson and Scott Ellis Watson co-star. In theaters. MOVIE NEWS LIVE! Always a lot to talk about, including "Michael" reactions, early footage of "The Mandalorian & Grogu," casting on Alex Garland's "Elden Ring" movie and more. We won't be here next Friday in solidarity with a nationwide labor strike, but come back on May 8. Thanks for sharing some of your weekend with us!
