Episode 229: News, Licorice Pizza, House of Gucci, Encanto, tick, tick ... Boom!, The Humans

It’s Thanksgiving week so of course we have a veritable smorgasbord of delights here on Breakfast All Day. Alonso and Christy start off with one of our absolute favorite movies of the year — the absolute best, Christy says — in Paul Thomas Anderson’s “Licorice Pizza.” We also review Ridley Scott’s “House of Gucci,” Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Netflix musical “tick, tick … Boom!” and “The Humans,” based on the Tony-winning play. Also, our good friend and fellow critic Carlos Aguilar makes his Breakfast All Day debut to help Christy review the latest animated Disney musical, “Encanto.” In news, we discuss Ridley Scott’s reaction to low box office numbers for “The Last Duel,” Eddie Redmayne’s regrets about “The Danish Girl,” Kid Rock’s ridiculous new song, Will Smith’s memoir confessions and Aaron Rodgers’ covid toe. We’ll be back on Friday with this week’s Brunch offerings, including the first two episodes of “Hawkeye” on Disney+ and November’s Off the Menu review of Jon Favreau’s “Chef.” We hope you’re having a delicious time with those you love, and we’re thankful to be a part of things.
