It's Halloween Week, so we've got a combination of serial killers, zombie pirates and frightening '70s and '80s fashion here at Breakfast All Day.
First, we catch up with Anna Kendrick's gripping thriller "Woman of the Hour." Kendrick directs for the first time and stars in this drama inspired by serial killer Rodney Alcala's appearance as a contestant on "The Dating Game" in the middle of his 1970s crime spree. It's streaming now on Netflix.
Then, we're delighted to share the review we recorded after our first live event: a screening of John Carpenter's 1980 horror classic "The Fog" at The Frida Cinema in Santa Ana. This is part of our Was It Great or Were You 8? series. We had a great crowd over the weekend, and it was so nice to meet so many of our longtime viewers and listeners in person. Thanks to the fine folks at The Frida for hosting us so warmly -- go support your local arthouse theater! (FYI, there are a few little jumps in the recording, so apologies in advance. )
And for our Patreon subscribers, we recap episode 6 of "The Penguin" on HBO. Only two more to go! Thanks for watching along with us, and we'll see you back here on Friday for reviews of "Blitz," "Here," "Juror #2 " and "A Real Pain."
