The Confused Breakfast

Is this our highest-rated nostalgia movie that we done so far? We were all just babies when this movie came out but it wowed us and entertained us in ways we could never have imagined. But 30+ years later, does it still hold up? It’s going to be tough with so much going against it in our modern-day review- Vanilla Ice, Moms Agains Fun Films (MUFFS), a quick turnaround and no Bebop and Rocksteady?

**This episode was released on Oct 20, 2021 There’s something strange in the neighborhood. So let’s slide down the fire pole, fire up our unlicensed nuclear accelerator proton packs, and make our clients feel uncomfortable! The Ghostbusters became an instant classic, but with an all star cast, questionable special effects, and enough evil psychokinetic energy to make any regular Twinkie seem tiny, does this film still hold up? Time to get this key master and gate keeper together and show this prehistoric b*tch how we do thing downtown. Learn more at http://confusedbreakfast.com Learn more about your ad choices.

It’s time to head back to the mid 90s to a time where hollywood executives wanted you to believe that it didn’t matter how big, strong and athletic you were. As long as you had a first-time coach who knows nothing about the sport and you utilize trick plays, you can and most certainly will beat the best team in the land. We are of course talking about 1994’s Little Giants. •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:04:00 - Memories of first viewing •0:06:45 - Pertinent movie details •0:12:15 - Critical and fan reviews •0:22:00 - Scene by scene breakdown •1:31:00 - Modern day ratings —————————————————————— SPONSORS: ****EveryPlate- Join EveryPlate today and pay only $2.99 per meal, PLUS get 50% off your first box, for all box sizes!

American Beauty came out in 1999 and clearly struck a chord with filmgoers. It became the talk of the nation and ended up winning 5 Oscars including best picture. 25 years later, do we all still feel the same way about it? Are we still inspired by Ricky’s story about the plastic bag? Are we making mental notes about our own meaningless lives because of Lester’s commentary on suburbia and middle age? Or are we feeling slightly confused and wondering what we ever saw in this flick? Regardless, it’s still the 77th highest rated movie on IMDB, so it has to have something special going on, right? •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:03:30 - Memories of first viewing •0:08:00 - Pertinent movie details •0:14:00- Critical and fan reviews •0:22:00 - Scene by scene breakdown •1:49:30 - Modern day ratings —————————————————————— SPONSORS: ****EveryPlate- Join EveryPlate today and pay only $2.99 per meal, PLUS get 50% off your first box, for all box sizes!

The original Alien movie is easily explained by saying that it is Star Wars meets 2001 A Space Odyssey meets The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Basically, Jaws but in Space. And when you can garner comparisons of all of those movies, then it is no wonder why it won an Oscar and is the 51st highest rated movie on IMDB. The movie that made us all afraid of stomach aches.

The demigod, John Candy, partners with one of the 80's most iconic directors, John Hughes, to bring us a larger than life comedy.

Can John Hughes create enough space for Candy's first major lead AND make it out from under his own Brat-pack shadow? either way, one things for sure... he's cooking our garbage. —————————————————————— **Also, we have a Patreon.
