What a weird week! But we're here for all of it, for you, at Breakfast All Day. Here's what we reviewed on our latest episode. RESIDENT EVIL (2026). A "Resident Evil" movie that's actually good? Zach Cregger has done the impossible. You don't need to have seen any of the previous films, or played the video game, to have a blast here. This horror movie is insane and hilarious. You'll scream, you'll squirm. Austin Abrams stars as a medical courier having a very bad day. In theaters. THE UPRISING. We're catching up with this action epic from writer-director Paul Greengrass, which came out last week. Andrew Garfield stars as a man known only as the Ploughman, who leads the peasants' revolt of 1381 against England's King Richard II. Co-starring Thomasin McKenzie, Jamie Bell and Cosmo Jarvis. In theaters. THE HISTORY OF CONCRETE. If you enjoyed the HBO series "How To With John Wilson," you'll love this feature debut, which feels like an extended version of his low-key comedy in all the best ways. Wilson does indeed explore the history of concrete in his beloved New York City, but ties in numerous other ideas, themes and oddball characters in the process. We loved it. In theaters now in New York, opens wider in upcoming weeks. Find out here when it's playing near you. MOVIE NEWS LIVE! We went extra long on a number of topics including Ed Sheeran, the Elon Musk documentary, the Toronto International Film Festival, Duncan Sheik and Bob Mackie. Join us on Fridays at Noon Pacific.

Charles Spurgeon's beloved “John Ploughman” returns – plain-spoken, sharp-witted, and full of gospel truth. Following the tremendous response to John Ploughman's Talk, Spurgeon offers this second volume of plain counsel for everyday people. With colorful illustrations drawn from rural life and seasoned with humor, he speaks straight to the heart – warning against folly, exposing hypocrisy, encouraging honest labor, and encouraging all to turn to Christ. Written “in the simplest form of our mother tongue,” John Ploughman's Pictures uses pointed proverbs and everyday situations to make biblical wisdom stick. Whether rebuking drunkenness, urging integrity, or lifting hope for the prodigal, Spurgeon is ever the master with words. Both warm and bold, humorous and deeply serious, this classic reminds us that the gospel is for ordinary people and for daily living – and that plain truth is often the best kind. About the Author Charles Haddon (C. H.) Spurgeon (1834-1892) was a British Baptist preacher. He started preaching at age 16 and quickly became famous. He is still known as the “Prince of Preachers” and frequently had more than 10,000 people present to hear him preach at the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London.

What's for dinner? A handful of grated cheese? Some olives and a croissant? A whole crab, eaten in bed? This one goes out to all the exhausted girlies who can't be arsed to cook. What wonders emerge when women find moments of freedom from compulsory and unpaid domestic labour? Ladies, gentlemen and nonbinary pals, welcome to the cursed/blessed super-trend that was, and is, GIRL DINNER. This week Dan and Kasia are joined by a very special guest, writer and academic Eli Davies, whose authorial debut The Spinster Cookbook is published today! Together we ask: is ‘girl dinner' infantilising, or a moment of feminist liberation? How do people eat differently when their lives are affected by chaos, stress and being a bit ‘goblin-like' – and why might Girl Dinner offer a relief, and comfort, when life feels unrelenting? And how does it intersect with gendered notions of ‘what women should eat' – are women still performing a role in service of patriarchy if there are just a few chaotic scraps on the plate, and no protein? We talk about the meaning of the word 'spinster' - and why Eli thinks it is preferable to ‘single'. And ask the vital question: was the Ploughman's Lunch the original girl dinner?  Also: “What about ‘mum dinner'?”, as Laura Thomas asked in a recent essay?   Buy THE SPINSTER COOKBOOK: Culture, Politics and Pleasure in the Single Woman's Kitchen – which is OUT NOW. It's a book which draws on Bridget Jones, Annie Ernaux, Sex and the City and Doris Lessing with equal enthusiasm, along with Nigel and Nigella, Delia and Jamie. And we love it. Also do subscribe to Eli's Substack!   Also, do subscribe to the Cursed Objects Patreon! You'll be supporting this work we otherwise do UNPAID, and it's only £4 a month - in exchange for which you get exclusive bonus episodes, in between the free ones on the main feed.

"John Ploughman" speaks of being firm but kind, and of patience. Down-to-earth yet very Spurgeonese...

Spurgeon addresses in a homely way, the criticisms many have of things and people in the church. In a second talk, we hear him speaking to preacher's attire on Sunday mornings.
