The Confused Breakfast

Our friend Paul Scheer loves Christmas movies just like we do. We kept hearing people talking about a new Netflix movie called 'Hot Frosty' and we figured it would be the perfect time for a review. Hot Frosty talks starts around 15:00 min mark! Learn more about Paul at http://PaulScheer.com Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

**This is a airing of an episode recorded in December of 2020 Home Alone took on a whole new meaning in 2020. But in 1990 this instant holiday classic justified Castle Laws across the country.

The Holiday is one of the rare gems. It's love at first sight for Rom-Com fans but the talent and story is something that everyone can get behind. This movie is what every single modern-day Hallmark movies wishes it could be.  How did Amanda find the strength to get over such tragedy? Was all of this just an elaborate setup by Graham and Iris? Is Mr. Brightside the greatest song ever made? We dive into all this and so much more. •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:03:15 - Memories of first viewing •0:10:30 - Pertinent movie details  •0:15:00- Critical and fan reviews •0:21:30 - Scene by scene breakdown  •1:51:30 - 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.

The holidays are in full swing and I'm sure you have been watching all your favorite Christmas movies. Well, if you tuned into last week's brunch, you heard us attempt to cast our very own Christmas/Hallmark movie. The casting and premise was so unbelievably perfect that we decided to actually write the script out in real-time for you to enjoy. Beware that you just got in on the ground floor of the next big smash-hit Christmas movie. There is a good chance that Hallmark will be buying this off of us for a 2025 release!

It’s officially Christmas season, so why not start it off with a bang! Gremlins was the 4th highest grossing film of the year in 1984 and spawned a whole franchise after it’s surprising success. Did this movie single-handedly help create the PG-13 rating? Is this more of a Christmas movie than Die Hard? Did one of these scene inspire Tarantino to write Inglourious Basterds? Where are the parents? •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:04:45 - Memories of first viewing •0:09:45 - Pertinent movie details  •0:15:00- Critical and fan reviews •0:25:00 - 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.

You can’t deny the power of a Hallmark Christmas movie. Stick to the formula, release it to the public and watch the cash roll in. What if they let us make one? Who would we cast in the movie? What would the premise be? It sounds easy but wait till you hear what we come up with.   —————————————————————— **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.

On a brand new episode, we dissect 2001’s ‘Black Hawk Down’ with a modern eye. It was the first war movie to be released after 9/11. It worthy of it’s accolades and awards? Is this one of the most-stacked casts of actors that we have ever done? Why does Mike love helicopters so much?  This is a heavy episode but we still have a good time. Enjoy! •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:03:00 - Memories of first viewing •0:08:30 - Pertinent movie details  •0:12:00- Critical and fan reviews •0:22:00 - Scene by scene breakdown  •1:47:00 - 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.

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.

**We try to keep this conversation spoiler-free until about 15-20min into the episode and we definitely warn you when spoilers are about to start. We got to see Gladiator 2 on opening night and we have thoughts! Does it live up to the original? Does Denzel Washington give the best performance? How is it possible to give us a more-hatable emperor than Commodus? We dive into our experience with this new movie! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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. This movie is in fact so loved that it is the #35 highest rated movie on IMDB. It won 5 Oscars and is the fourth highest-grossing film worldwide to win the Academy Award for Best Picture. Join us as we dissect 2000’s Gladiator with a modern eye.   •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:03:00 - Memories of first viewing •0:06:30 - Pertinent movie details  •0:12:00- Critical and fan reviews •0:22:00 - Scene by scene breakdown  •1:45:00 - 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.

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. Buckle up. —————————————————————— **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.

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. Do the special effects still hold up? Who was John Connor’s original father before Kyle Reese was sent back in time? Is this actually a horror movie? We dive deep, so you don’t want to miss this! •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:04:00 - Memories of first viewing •0:08:30 - Pertinent movie details  •0:15:00- Critical and fan reviews •0:28:00 - Scene by scene breakdown  •1:52:00 - Modern day ratings —————————————————————— SPONSORS: ****EveryPlate- With affordable dinners for just $5.99 per serving, PLUS 50% off your first box, go to http://EveryPlate.com/podcast and entering code onfused599 ****Shopify- Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial period at http://shopify.com/confused ****Acorns- Head to http://acorns.com/confused or download the Acorns app to start saving and investing for your future today! —————————————————————— **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.

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 single-handedly saved new line cinema from bankruptcy and was the film debut for Johnny Depp.  The movie that made us all afraid to fall asleep. Join us as we dissect 1984’s Nightmare on Elm Street. •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:03:30 - Memories of first viewing •0:07:00 - Pertinent movie details  •0:14:00- Critical and fan reviews •0:23:00 - Scene by scene breakdown  •1:43:00 - Modern day ratings —————————————————————— SPONSORS: ****HelloFresh- Go to http://HelloFresh.com/FREECONFUSEDBREAKFAST for 10 free meals. ****Shopify- Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial period at http://shopify.com/confused ****Acorns- Head to http://acorns.com/confused or download the Acorns app to start saving and investing for your future today! —————————————————————— **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.

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? We tackle all of this and more in today’s brand new episode.   •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:03:00 - Memories of first viewing •0:06:30 - Pertinent movie details  •0:09:45 - Critical and fan reviews •0:18:00 - Scene by scene breakdown  •1:24:00 - Modern day ratings —————————————————————— SPONSORS: ****DraftKings- Download the DraftKings Sportsbook app and use code CONFUSED for new customers to get $200 in bonus bets when you bet just five bucks ****HelloFresh- Go to HelloFresh.com/FREECONFUSEDBREAKFAST for 10 free meals. ****Shopify- Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial period at http://shopify.com/confused ****Acorns- Head to http://acorns.com/confused or download the Acorns app to start saving and investing for your future today! —————————————————————— **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.
