The Confused Breakfast

On today’s episode, we once again dive into a movie that was maybe not as well known as it should’ve been, but to those who have seen it, it is a revered classic. This movie includes three Oscar winners and gives us one of our favorite reoccurring versions of Brendan Frazer- a fish out of water. What would it really be like to emerge into the world after 35 years in a bunker? Did Adam ever, ya know, do the thing we do when we are alone sometimes? Why was Eve such a bitch? Is Troy the best third wheel ever?

It's no secret that we usually disagree with IMDB and think that a movie should be rated much higher. But sometimes, there are movies that are rated SO LOW that we have to step in and say something.

Today's new episode is going to prove without a doubt that 'My Cousin Vinny' is still an enjoyable movie. The evidence in this episode is going to show that Marissa Tomei deserved her supporting actress award win and that Joe Pesci inspired a whole new generation of attorneys with his modern day take of a lawyer in a crusty, old, southern boomer world. You will hear the testimony’s of 3 passionate podcast hosts who most likely stole all their commentary and thoughts from other movie podcasts. As a listener, your verdict of this movie is gonna depend on what you think of the sworn testimony. Not what we think. What we think don't count. You're the jury. It's your job to decide what your modern day take is. We're gonna be asking you to return a verdict of not only a good modern day rating for this movie but we are also going to be asking your for a 5-star rating on Spotify and Apple Podcasts when you are done listening.

The description of the movie made us immediately press play and we were glad we did! We highly recommend this flick!

Picture this- your dad is captured by a fake country. You have never flown an F-16 by yourself before. Using a rag-tag group of friends, all under the age of 18, you figure out how to rescue him on your own, while demonstrating how vulnerable US Air Force bases are and committing serious war crimes deserving of jail time in multiple countries. None of it possible without the cassette player strapped to your knee blasting "One Vision" by Queen.

This movie really needs no introduction and it's a wonder why we waited so long to do it. Is it a Thanksgiving movie? No. But are you going to be using a blade to cut your turkey soon? Ehh? Ehhhh?!?! Coincidence or not- this movie taught us to avoid "Blood Raves". That sunscreen and motorcycle helmets protect vampires from exploding and that Wesley Snipes is the ultimate bad-ass.

This is a re-airing from November 24, 2021. The definitive Thanksgiving movie, right?? The travel, the trouble, the good the bad, and laughably maddening scenarios that can only come from the mind of John Hughes. With two comedic giants at the forefront, does this buddy-travel movie hold up and speak through generational lapses? What’s Neal’s wife’s problem? What’s in Del’s trunk?? How many f**ks does it take to f**k yourself? All this and more while we break down Planes, Trains, and automobiles. •0:00:00- Introductions/Reviews/Chats •0:05:45- Pertinent movie details •0:09:15- Memories of first viewing •0:13:00 - Critical and fan reviews •0:21:00 - Scene by scene breakdown •1:20:15- Modern day ratings —————————————————————— Learn more about your ad choices.

On the verge of Gladiator 2 hitting theaters, we decided that it was finally time to review one of the most beloved movies of the last 25 years.

There aren’t many true ‘Thanksgiving-themed’ movies that have been made. Especially when compared to other holidays like Christmas and Halloween. Sure there are the classics like ‘Planes, Trains and Automobiles’ and ‘Son in Law’ but alot of people like to add the movie ‘Dutch’ to the list of Turkey day film lists. So we decided to give it a go. Spoilers…. it wasn’t as good as people made it out to be. This one might get a little rough.

Spoilers- This was an "I've Never Seen" for us, so I'm guessing many of you have not seen it as well. The Player is one of those movies that flew under the radar but deserves a watch.

It happened again. We reviewed the sequel of a movie before the original. It seemed fitting on the 40 year anniversary that we should go back to give The Terminator a modern day review.

On today’s episode, and for the conclusion of Spoojy Season, we discuss the original film of a franchise consisting of nine films, a television series, novels, comic books and various other media.

This movie flopped at the box office when it was released but it became a true cult classic in the years to follow. I think we speak for many of you when we say that this movie was terrifying the first time we saw it as kids. Does Event Horizon have one the lowest nostalgic ratings we have given? Why did they waste so much money on terrible affects? Is the ship still haunted at the end of the movie?
