The Confused Breakfast

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.

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?  Enjoy! •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:03:30 - Memories of first viewing •0:07:00 - Pertinent movie details  •0:10:30- Critical and fan reviews •0:23:00 - 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!

**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!
