D2: The Mighty Ducks (1994)

Its time to grab your rollerblades and slap on some neon windbreakers, so we can talk about a movie that basically brainwashed an entire generation of kids into thinking they could go from the worst Pee Wee Hockey team ever to world champions.   This movie gave us the Bash Brothers, the Knucklepuck and tried to sell us on the fact that Iceland was not only good at hockey but was a major villain.  And of course, it gave us Gordon Bombay at his most unhinged — ditching practices for photo shoots, forgetting his players exist, and then swooping in with a last-minute inspirational speech like an alcoholic stepdad who suddenly remembers it’s Christmas morning.  But hey, anything is possible because we are Team USA baby. •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:03:30 - Memories of first viewing •0:07:00  - Pertinent movie details  •0:11:00  -  Critical and fan reviews •0:22:00 - Scene by scene breakdown  •1:43:00 - Modern day ratings —————————————————————— **Support us at http://patreon.com/confusedbreakfast for bonus weekly episodes, voting on upcoming movies, giving your modern-day ratings on our movies and much more. **Mail us something   The Confused Breakfast PO Box 10016 Cedar Rapids, IA 52402-9802 Special thanks to our executive producers- Josh Miller, Starling, Michael Guiliano and NicMad.

Love this podcast! I first discovered it off of TikTok of all places. Decided to give it a listen and ended up listening to every single one in just 3 days. I was delighted to hear what others guys around my age think about the movies and shows I grew up on. The added bonus was finding out that they are Iowa boys just like me. I can’t wait to hear what they will cover in the future!
