Bio-Dome (1996)

Bio-Dome holds a special place in many of our hearts because of the joy and laughter that it brought us when we were younger, but the critics and general public really seem to think that this is a BAD movie. Why was it so enticing to us as kids? What does ‘If you were Yogurt, would you be fruit at the bottom or stirred mean? Could they have hired a better sidekick than Stephan Baldwin? Was Pauly Shore just phoning it in on set? We dive into all of this and so much more, enjoy! •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:03:15 - Memories of first viewing •0:08:45 - Pertinent movie details  •0:11:00 - Critical and fan reviews •0:20:30 - Scene by scene breakdown  •1:22:00 - Modern day ratings —————————————————————— SPONSORS: ****Astepro - Go to http://AsteproAllergy.com for a discount so you can get relief of nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing and itchy nose due to allergies. **ExpressVPN - Go to http://expressvpn.com/confused to get an extra three months of ExpressVPN for free! —————————————————————— **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.

BRUNCH: The History and Legacy of Nickelodeon

Nickelodeon was an important part of all of our childhoods. A reliable ‘friend’ that was always there for us. The impact that this tv studio had on our lives with the incredible lineup of shows and cartoons can not be denied.  Unfortunately, much of it’s legacy has been tarnished by the recent documentary called, “Quiet On Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV.” In an effort to go back to the mini-byte days, we start this brunch off with the history of Nickelodeon, followed by some discussion of all of our favorite shows. Then we dive into the disturbing documentary.   Learn more about your ad choices.
