Episode 462: Movie News LIVE!, Young Woman and the Sea, Jim Henson Idea Man, Robot Dreams

Alonso's at the Mendocino Film Festival promoting his "Hollywood Pride" book this week, but nothing could keep us from meeting up with you here at Breakfast All Day.

Totally coincidentally, it's Disney Friday. We review "Young Woman and the Sea," starring Daisy Ridley as Trudy Ederle, the first woman to swim the English Channel. It's in theaters in limited release.

We also discuss the documentary "Jim Henson Idea Man," from director Ron Howard, which explores the life, career and influence of the mastermind behind "Sesame Street," the Muppets, "Labyrinth" and so much more. It's streaming now on Disney Plus.

Finally, we rave about the Oscar-nominated "Robot Dreams," a seemingly sweet animated tale about a dog and his robot in 1980s NYC, which packs a surprising emotional wallop. It's in theaters. 

And for our Movie News LIVE! segment, we have a lengthy discussion about why the box office has been so dismal this summer. Quick note for next week: We won't be doing our usual Friday livestream because Christy is having ACL surgery after her skiing accident, but we'll be back on June 14. Thanks as always for sharing some of your time with us!
