Episode 294: Movie News, Beast, Orphan: First Kill

Idris Elba will save us all this week on Breakfast All Day. Our good friend Kristian Harloff joins Christy to review the thriller “Beast” (and if you’re not already subscribed to his YouTube Channel, you should be). Alonso and Christy also review the nutty horror prequel “Orphan: First Kill.” In news, we discuss Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, Jonah Hill, “Wednesday,” “Jaws,” “Sesame Street” and more. And we’ve got a ton of great stuff over at our Patreon: recaps of the first episode of “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law” and the second-to-last episode of “Only Murders in the Building,” plus a back-to-school Off the Menu discussion of 1973's “American Graffiti,” the movie that put George Lucas on the map. Hop in your car, crank it up and cruise the boulevard with us.

* Our latest Movie House Shout-Out goes to the historic and beloved Manor Theatre in Pittsburgh, where they’re celebrating their 100th anniversary. They’ve also got a fantastic array of films planned for their End of Summer Blockbuster Fest, running from Aug. 26-Sept. 1. To buy tickets and learn more about the Manor, visit them here.
