Episode 213: News, The Suicide Squad, Annette, Pray Away, Vivo

Grab your ballot and join us for Oscar predictions! This was a super fun YouTube livestream Christy did with the great Glenn Whipp, veteran awards columnist for the Los Angeles Times. Alonso unfortunately has Covid so he couldn't make it, but we still had a great time going category by category and picking who we think will win in each one. We also really enjoyed hearing what our viewers hope to see happen, too. So come hang out with us and win your Oscar pool!

The Academy Awards are on Sunday, March 10 at 4pm PDT on ABC. (The show is earlier this year because it's the first night of Daylight Saving Time). How will you spend the evening? Let us know. And if you don't have any plans, Christy is doing a LIVE Oscar watch party on our Breakfast All Day YouTube channel as a way to have fun with their new vertical livestream feature. Details and link coming soon! Look forward to seeing you.

We have a special musical episode of Breakfast All Day for you as we review two very different movies about two very different pop culture icons. First, "This Is Me ... Now: A Love Story," Jennifer Lopez's trippy cinematic odyssey to accompany her new album. It's streaming on Prime Video. Plus we discuss "Bob Marley: One Love," a frustratingly superficial music biopic about the reggae legend. It's in theaters. We begin once again with Movie News Live!, which we're really enjoying. Be sure to join us every Friday at Noon PST at our YouTube channel. And for our Patreon subscribers, a recap of this week's emotional episode of "Feud: Capote vs. The Swans." Enjoy your three-day weekend and thanks for sharing some of your time with us.

Dakota Johnson wants neither the great power nor the great responsibility that come with being a superhero in the Spider-Man world, but she's stuck with them in "Madame Web." This movie is getting savaged critically -- as of this posting, it's at 16% on Rotten Tomatoes -- but we didn't think it was completely terrible, and that's mainly thanks to Johnson's amusingly blasé performance. Speaking of movies that got awful reviews, we revisit Britney Spears' "Crossroads" from 2002, because it will be streaming for the first time ever starting Thursday on Netflix. The coming-of-age road trip drama was supposed to catapult the pop star to movie stardom; instead, it's a bittersweet time capsule of a more innocent time in Spears' life. And for our Patreon subscribers, we recap the extremely eventful penultimate episode of "True Detective: Night Country" on HBO. Thanks for sharing some of your time with us here at Breakfast All Day!

Super Bowl weekend means slim pickings at the movie theater, so we've got a review for you of "Lisa Frankenstein," a stitched-together horror movie/dark comedy/rom-com from writer Diablo Cody that never quite works. Individual pieces had promise, though, including Kathryn Newton's performance and a great soundtrack of '80s goth tunes. We're also continuing to do our news segment live over at our Breakfast All Day YouTube channel, with today's topics including "Coyote vs. Acme," Gina Carano's lawsuit and the new best casting category at the Oscars. And for our Patreon subscribers, we have recaps of the "Echo" finale on Disney+ (which we're very divided on) and this week's episode of "Feud: Capote vs. The Swans," which we both loved. Thanks so much as always for being here!
