We're here to stuff your stocking (and stock your stuffing) with a lengthy, mid-week episode of Breakfast All Day.

First, we review "Mufasa: The Lion King," a live-action prequel that traces the origin of the leader of the Pride Lands. Academy Award winner Barry Jenkins ("Moonlight") directs, and while we're looking all over for his artistic stamp, we're sadly not finding it. In theaters this weekend.

Then, our great friend Tim Grierson helps out with an early review of "A Complete Unknown," James Mangold's Bob Dylan biopic. Timothée Chalamet is tremendous as the iconic folk singer, and he'll surely be in the conversation for the best-actor Oscar. In theaters Christmas Day.

And speaking of the holiday, we wanted to share the audio from our annual Christmas Movie Livestream with the expert himself. This is always a great time, and Alonso loves answering your questions and hearing your thoughts about his favorite topic. Thanks to all the lovely folks who joined us live.

Keep an eye (and an ear) out as we wrap up the year in the upcoming days. Thanks for sharing some of your time with us during this busy season!
