The Confused Breakfast

So we got turned on to a special movie that is generating some buzz. Sean Astin and Sandy Martin listed on the cast made us turn our heads. The description of the movie made us immediately press play and we were glad we did! We highly recommend this flick! Sean Prior got a chance to sit down with the writers/directors to chat about the film. This is a fun conversation about a fun movie. See the de...

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 strapp...

Is this the most-quoted movie in history? In the early 2000’s, you couldn’t go anywhere without hearing someone say, “meow” or “you boys like Mexicoooo.” This movie captured our hearts back then with it’s non-stop laughs and quotes but when is the last time you watched it with a critical eye? Does this movie actually hold up by today’s standards? Join us as we review Super Troopers with a modern l...

Last week, we talked about movies that were ruined by questionably bad endings. On today's brunch, we each pick 5 movies that do the opposite. Movies that are made special by how good the ending is. Movies discussed in order: Sabrina, The Usual Suspects, Whiplash, Shadow of a Doubt, Lucky Number Slevin, There Will Be Blood, The Sixth Sense, The Village, Shutter Island, Once Upon a Time in Hollywoo...

**This is a re-airing of an episode recorded in February of 2022. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Time to pack up the family and forcefully make them sit through a Colorado winter nightmare in a haunted hotel so you can try to not fail at writing. The Shining will show us the darker side of getting snowed in. It’s not all cuddles and cocoa. Heeeeeere’s JOHNNY! Come play with us…. Check...

Our good friend Gareth Reynolds is back as a special guest, so you know we had to pick a banger of a movie to review. Demolition Man gives us everything we could ever want in a movie. Cryo-prisons, underground rat-burger restaurants, no physical touch, Taco Bells on every corner, Los Angeles in perfect harmony, seashells for toilet paper. Sounds like the ideal future to us and this episode is hila...

There is nothing worse than a great movie that is ruined by a bad ending. On today's brunch, we each pick 5 movies that have the worst endings. Movies discussed in order: The Wolverine, I Am Legend, Matrix Revolutions, 10 Cloverfield Lane, The Happening, Nightmare on Elm St, Casino Royale, It: Chapter 2, Big, Remember Me, The Butterfly Effect, Don’t Worry Darling, The Number 23, Contact, The Devil...

Ready some early 2000’s nostalgia? A Knight’s Tale is one of the quintessential action-fueled, rom-coms of our lifetime. It masterfully blends ancient medieval sporting with modern rock music. We finally have a Heath Ledger movie under our belts, so join us while we strip away the nostalgia and see if this movie is as good as we remember it.   •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:03:00 - Memories of first...

Well friends, we are finally doing it.  On today’s episode, we discuss the #9 highest rated movie on IMDB, winner of 4 Oscars, the first film in a trilogy that is widely regarded as one of the greatest and ost influential film series ever made and the highest-grossing film series of all time, having grossed over $2.9 billion worldwide. We are of course talking about 2001's The Lord of the Ring - F...

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...

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? It was our #1 rated nostalgic movie and we have at least 3 punchable faces, so tune i...

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. Join us as we dissect this movie with a modern-eye to see if we still like it as much as we did when we were kids.

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...

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 th...

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?...

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 upcom...

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 firs...

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. Join us as we giv...

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...
