A quick but thrilling episode to end your week here at Breakfast All Day.

First, we review "Black Phone 2," the sequel to 2022's "The Black Phone," and who among us expected we'd be getting one of those? Ethan Hawke returns to make more obscene phone calls. In theaters.

Then, the always brilliant Katie Walsh fills in f...

We'll spin around and wag our tails for a treat -- we're kinda shameless that way here at Breakfast All Day.

October begins with reviews of three very different films:

September winds down in unspectacular fashion here at Breakfast All Day with two new movies you're welcome to avoid.
