Breakfast All Day movie reviews

It's our favorite morning of the year! Or one of them, at least. We had a great turnout for our annual Oscar nominations livestream on our YouTube channel. In case you missed it, here it is in podcast form.
Ryan Coogler's Southern Gothic vampire musical "Sinners" made history with 16 nominations, including best picture, director and the new category of casting. Paul Thomas Anderson's "One Battle After Another" was second with 13.
We woke up bright and early to talk about the nominations that excited us (Delroy Lindo! Amy Madigan!) and the omissions that surprised us (nothing for "Wicked: For Good" or "No Other Choice").
What were your thoughts on today's Oscar nominations? Was your favorite film honored? Let us know, and mark your calendar for Tuesday, March 10 at Noon Pacific, when LA Times awards expert Glenn Whipp will return to help make predictions, category by category. Thanks for being here!

We're taking a trip to The Bone Temple this week on Breakfast All Day, but don't worry. Ralph Fiennes has great taste in music, it'll be super fun. Here's what we've reviewed lately:
28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE. This picks up right where Danny Boyle's "28 Years Later" left off in 2025, but Nia DaCosta's film is very different: thrilling and terrifying in its own way, but also more somber, but also funny ...? Fiennes is insane here. In theaters.
THE RIP. Matt Damon and Ben Affleck lead an all-star cast as Miami cops whose team stumbles upon a massive stash of drug money in this twisty thriller. This is the kind of substantial, mid-budget action movie we used to see a lot of in the '80s and '90s. Streaming now on Netflix.
THE SECRET AGENT. We knew we wanted to catch up with Brazil's entry in the Oscar international feature category, and this was the perfect time. It just won Golden Globes for best motion picture - non-English language and best actor for Wagner Moura. We admire it but don't love it as much as our fellow critics do. In theaters.
Movie News LIVE! Always a good time on Fridays. Among this week's topics were Kathleen Kennedy leaving LucasFilm; "Dune: Part Three" and "Avengers: Doomsday" competing on Dec. 18, aka "Dunesday"; and Matthew McConaughey trademarking his famous phrase, "Alright, alright, alright."
Thanks for being here with us on the three-day weekend (if you're in the U.S.)!

So much happened at this year's Golden Globes that we decided kinda last minute to do a reaction livestream the next day. Thanks so much to the folks who joined us and shared their thoughts on everything from the winners to Nikki Glaser's monologue to the inane running commentary as celebrities walked to the stage. We also wondered about the conspicuous absence of any kind of political commentary, particularly during this time of turmoil.
Did you watch the Globes? What did you think? We turned the audio from our livestream into a podcast episode, but if you'd like to watch the video instead, here it is.
And make sure to join us for our Oscar nominations livestream on Thursday, Jan. 22 at 7am Pacific time. Thanks for being with us during awards season!

We have an extra-long episode to kick off 2026 here at Breakfast All Day. Earlier this week, we posted our lists of the best and worst movies of 2025. Now, we're looking at new movies and chatting about movie news and spoilers:
PRIMATE. A brilliant, highly-trained chimpanzee gets bitten by a rabid mongoose and goes on a homicidal rampage. It's the first week of January, but this gory horror movie is better than its calendar placement would suggest. In theaters.

SONG SUNG BLUE. We're catching up with this crowd-pleaser from writer-director Craig Brewer ("Hustle & Flow," "Footloose"), inspired by a true story. Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson co-star as musicians who fall in love with each other and the music of Neil Diamond while performing as a tribute band. In theaters.

MOVIE NEWS LIVE! So much to discuss on this first news livestream of 2026, including the state of awards season, the "Stranger Things" finale, Mickey Rourke, Spencer Pratt and Ashley Tisdale's scathing mom group essay. Join us at our YouTube channel at Noon Pacific on Fridays.

MARTY SUPREME SPOILER CHAT. We got into everything -- starting from the ending -- in our in-depth, live discussion of "Marty Supreme." What did you think of the Timothée Chalamet movie? Have you seen it more than once, as well? We love doing deeper analysis like this, so keep an eye out for more spoiler chats.

Thanks for starting the year with us!

Sure, the calendar says 2026, but we couldn't begin the year in earnest without looking back at the best and worst movies of 2025. This is an event, so it gets its own separate episode. What are your favorite movies from last year? What was the biggest waste of your time? Let us know if your picks align with ours, and here's to all good things in the new year!
