Episode 451: Movie News LIVE!, Challengers (NO Spoilers!), The People's Joker

Breakfast All Day movie reviews

We have reviews of two very different and dazzling spectacles on the latest episode of Breakfast All Day, movies that are extremely original in their own distinctive ways. First, we have a super early review of "Challengers," Luca Guadagnino's thrilling tennis romance starring Zendaya, Mike Faist and Josh O'Connor. It doesn't open until April 26 but we loved it so much that we wanted to share a spoiler-free review now. We'll probably do a spoiler live chat down the road, and we'll keep you posted on details. Then, we review "The People's Joker" from director, editor, co-writer and star Vera Drew. It's an exploration of Drew's transgender journey through the prism of the Batman universe -- an extremely DIY indie, but with deep, vulnerable truths that emerge from the artifice. Check here to see when it's playing near you. Plus, we were back together for Movie News LIVE! for the first time in a month with lots to discuss, including the death of O.J. Simpson, the Cannes Film Festival lineup, new trailers for "MaXXXine" and "Joker: Folie à Deux," and the "Curb Your Enthusiasm" finale. And for our Patreon subscribers, we recap episodes 3 and 4 of "Ripley" on Netflix, which were extremely eventful! Thanks so much for being here with us and have a great weekend.
