Episode 487: Joker: Folie à Deux (NO Spoilers!), Saturday Night, Movie News LIVE!

We're far from the shallow now as we enter fall movie season in earnest here at Breakfast All Day.

First, we review the much-anticipated and highly polarizing "Joker: Folie à Deux." Todd Phillips' sequel to his Oscar-winning 2019 drama "Joker" finds Joaquin Phoenix returning to the Batman villain role with Lady Gaga at his side as Harley Quinn. And did we mention that it's a musical? This is a spoiler-free review, but we're hoping to do a live spoiler chat soon, so keep an eye out for details. In theaters.

Then, we review "Saturday Night," Jason Reitman's star-studded, high-energy recreation of the first episode of "Saturday Night Live," which aired on Oct. 11, 1975. It's famous people pretending to be other famous people in an engaging cosplay. In limited release now, opening nationwide next Friday.

And we're back with Movie News LIVE! Among the topics we discussed today were the "Babygirl" trailer, "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives," "Magazine Dreams," and what Alonso ate at the Texas State Fair last weekend. We'll keep you posted on whether we'll have a livestream next Friday, since Christy may have jury duty. Fingers crossed! Thanks for being here.
