The Confused Breakfast podcast is an absolute delight to listen to. As a fan of movies, it's refreshing to hear the hosts, Mike, Sean, and AJ, discuss and dissect films from the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s with such enthusiasm and humor. It feels like sitting down with a group of friends and reminiscing about our favorite movies. I love that they have episodes dedicated to specific films, which allows me to watch the movie beforehand and then listen to their review immediately after. It adds a new layer of enjoyment to my movie-watching experience.
One of the best aspects of The Confused Breakfast podcast is the chemistry between the hosts. Their banter is hilarious and their dynamic keeps you engaged throughout each episode. They have a great balance of discussing the plot, characters, and production of the film while also injecting their own personal anecdotes and opinions. I appreciate that they go beyond just reviewing movies and provide interesting insights, theories, and trivia about each film. It's evident that they are passionate about movies and it shines through in their discussions.
Another positive aspect is how relatable the podcast is for anyone who grew up during these decades. The hosts often talk about their own nostalgia for these films and it brings back memories for listeners as well. They have a knack for capturing that sense of nostalgia while also offering a fresh perspective when rewatching these movies as adults. It's like revisiting your childhood favorites with newfound appreciation.
If there was one drawback to this podcast, it would be that they tend to shy away from horror films. While I understand that not everyone enjoys horror, it would be great to hear their take on some classic horror flicks from this era. However, this is just a minor critique in an otherwise fantastic podcast.
In conclusion, The Confused Breakfast podcast is an absolute gem for movie lovers looking for a mix of nostalgia and insightful discussion. The hosts' passion, humor, and chemistry make each episode a joy to listen to. Whether you're a fan of 80s teen comedies, 90s action films, or early 2000s cult classics, this podcast has something for everyone. I highly recommend giving it a listen and joining the journey down memory lane with Mike, Sean, and AJ.

"This is your life and it's ending one minute at a time." Welcome to Thursday, our new release day and we have a doosie for you. Fight Club is one of those movies that defined the late 90s/early 00s.

Picture this- your dad is captured by a fake country. You have never flown an F-16 by yourself before. Using a rag-tag group of friends, all under the age of 18, you figure out how to rescue him on your own, while demonstrating how vulnerable US Air Force bases are and committing serious war crimes deserving of jail time in multiple countries. None of it possible without the cassette player strapped to your knee blasting "One Vision" by Queen. It's something only 80s kids can believe. •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:03:30 - Memories of first viewing •0:06:15 - Pertinent movie details •0:11:45- Critical and fan reviews •0:24:00 - Scene by scene breakdown •1:31:30 - 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. **Mail us something The Confused Breakfast PO Box 10016 Cedar Rapids, IA 52402-9802 Special thanks to our executive producers- Josh Miller, Starling, Bud Larsen and Michael Guiliano.

If you have been following this show for awhile, you know our history with The Boondock Saints. We reviewed the first one and mostly still loved it as much as we did nostalgically. But our history with Boondock Saints 2: All Saints Day is much darker. What can largely be viewed as one of the worst sequels ever, Mike and Sean sentenced it to some jail-time in our “On-trial” episode. It's out and we figured it was time to talk about it again.

Home Alone 2 might be better than the first. It's the same movie, with the same characters and same plot…. but then they went and added Tim Curry. Join us as we breakdown this classic on Christmas Day. Is this better than the original? Why is Kevin's family so bad at traveling and why do they treat him so badly?

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?

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?

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?!?!
