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?

We can't be the only people who has wondered what a modern-day recasting of "Forrest Gump" would look like, right?

Ladies and gentlemen, you’ve made a bold choice today. Instead of going to work, doing chores, attending school, or paying bills — you chose us.

"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.

2025/03/26

On today’s episode, we once again dive into a movie that was one of many of the year 1999’s bangers. This movie tells us that you probably in fact can only peak in high school, a movie that gives a whole new meaning to the saying “I get older, they stay the same age, and a movie that yet again tells us in order to fall in love you have to dye your hair blonde and change your overall appearance and personality in order to be the least bit fuck-able. Today we are talking about Drew Barrymore in Never

The Confused Breakfast ·

2025/03/24

2025/03/19

On today’s episode, we once again dive into a movie that was maybe not as well known as it should’ve been, but to those who have seen it, it is a revered classic. This movie includes three Oscar winners and gives us one of our favorite reoccurring versions of Brendan Frazer- a fish out of water. What would it really be like to emerge into the world after 35 years in a bunker? Did Adam ever, ya know, do the thing we do when we are alone sometimes? Why was Eve such a bitch?
