Anaconda (1997)

The Confused Breakfast ·

2025/07/17

Remember that when you can’t breathe, you can’t scream. On today’s episode, we discuss a movie that opened at number #1 at the box office and spawned 3 sequels and a spinoff with Lake Placid. Despite all of this it was nominated for 6 Razzie awards, including worst picture, worst director, worst screenplay and worst couple— Jon Voight and the animatronic snake. This movie taught us that even though the jungle makes you horny, you need to stay away because everything else is out to get you.

Street Fighter (1994)

The Confused Breakfast ·

2025/07/10

On today’s episode, we discuss a movie based off of one of the most popular video game franchises of the 90s. A movie with a script that was so disposable that it was rewritten or thrown away daily on set and many of us still aren’t sure what the plot is. JCVD did everything he could to tank the movie, while Raul Julia is quite possibly the only saving grace, despite being his last role prior to passing away. Make you cry July continues with 1994’s Street Figher! •0:00:00

Maximum Overdrive (1986)

The Confused Breakfast ·

2025/07/03

Make you Cry July starts off with an absolute bang. This movie was Stephen King's first and only attempt at directing a movie and the critics didn't like it. Stephen himself hated it. But here we are almost 40 years later, dissecting one of the best bad movies ever made. It caused an irrational fear of soda machines, lawn mowers, drawbridges, trucks and drain pipes.

O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000)

The Confused Breakfast ·

2025/06/26

On today’s episode we discuss a movie loosely based on The Odessey and nominated for 2 Oscars. This movie was the first adapted screenplay by the Coen Brothers and was called a hillbilly musical comedy adventure by John Turturo. It made Dapper Dan a household name, and turned "Man of Constant Sorrow" into a bluegrass banger for the new millennium.

UHF (1989)

The Confused Breakfast ·

2025/06/05

On today’s episode, we’re diving into a cult classic that redefined what it means to be weird, hilarious, and just downright absurd. A movie showing the world that Weird Al Yankovic should be protected at all costs. This movie showed us the greatest hotdog/twinkie combination of all time and taught us that broads don’t belong in braodcasting, that gun control is for wimps and commies, and that life is like a mop.

The Confused Breakfast ·

2025/06/02

Almost 2 months ago, we released a brunch episode recapping the first 2 episodes of Season 2 of HBO’s The Last of Us. It was a trial of sorts, as we may dip our toes in TV series reviews in the future. Well, the problem with doing that episode was that we all obviously kept watching and badly wanted to recap the entire season with each other.HEAVY SPOILERS if you haven’t see all of Season 2. We return to regularly scheduled programming this Thursday with UHF and next Monday with a Brunch

Rounders (1998)

The Confused Breakfast ·

2025/05/29

On the exciting conclusion of May of Damon, we are discussing a cult classic that helped launch the poker boom of the early 2000s, inspired millions of dudes to think they could turn $100 into a Vegas bankroll, and gave us the most unhinged Oreo-eating villain of all time. It’s Matt Damon playing a genius again, Ed Norton being a menace, and John Malkovich going full cartoon Russian mobster.

The Departed (2006)

The Confused Breakfast ·

2025/05/15

Imagine a movie so perfectly crafted that Jack Nicholson improvs half his scenes, Leonardo DiCaprio plays a character in constant panic, and Mark Wahlberg steals the entire film in under 10 minutes of screen time. We're talking Scorsese at his absolute PEAK. We dissect The Departed scene by scene with a modern eye. Which character might be secretly gay? Did you catch the hidden on-screen tell about which characters wouldn’t make it to the end of the movie? Would you rather be Colin or Billy?
