The Confused BreakfastLast Action Hero (1993)Last Action Hero was considered major FLOP when it debuted in 1993. It could have been that it was just ahead of it’s time and people weren’t ready for it. It also could have been that Jurassic Park came out right before this.

The Confused BreakfastPredator (1987)
Get to the choppa!!!!!!! Time to casually blast a boom box in a helicopter for a covert mission that we don’t actually know anything about. What are we doing? Who’s out there? Who is this lady and why are we letting her tag along? Why are we just randomly dying? Probably to keep us from asking any more questions. This isn’t going to end well. Unless your Arny obvi. Stick around you son of a b*tch. ET’s got nothing on Predator. And it definitely doesn’t come in peace.•0:00:00- Introductions/Reviews/Chats•...2022-05-251h 47
The Confused BreakfastTop Gun (1986)
I feel the need, the need for speed. It’s time to buzz the tower, before we call the ball. I think our egos just cashed another check.. Top Gun has inspired us to take on new call signs and take off our shirts for volleyball. Don’t let the hair fool you, we’re dangerous, sweaty, and inverted. •0:00:00- Introductions/Reviews/Chats•0:05:30 - Call Sign Ceremony•0:08:30- Memories of first viewing•0:12:15- Pertinent movie details •0:17:00- Critical and fan reviews•0:25:00- Scene by scene breakdown •1:37:00- Modern day ratings...2022-05-181h 48

The Confused BreakfastSpaceballs (1987)
This podcast has officially gone from suck to blow. Mel Brooks’ 1987 space adventure parody takes a not so subtle jab at some of the biggest titles in the genre. Too bad about the merchandising… So close down the 3 ring circus, secure all the animals in the zoo, and prepare for ludicrous speed! We’re about to go plaid through the 4th wall right NOW now!

The Confused BreakfastThe Big Lebowski (1998)
Sometimes theres man. Not a hero, but a man. Ah F**k it dude. Let’s go bowling. The chronicled tale of the Dude is both pointless and imperative. A movie wrapped in its own feelings more than it’s own story. So let’s pack a ringer with our whites, mix up another Caucasian, and bash up a corvette after we botched a random handoff. Turn off the Eagles and crank the Creedence tapes and relax while we break down The Big Lebo… hey do you have any Kahlua?•0:00:00- Introductions/Reviews/Chats•0:04:30 - Memories of f...2022-04-131h 57
The Confused BreakfastTommy Boy (1995)
Holy Schnikes, they finally gave Chris Farley a lead role in a movie and he delivered a performance of a lifetime.

The Confused BreakfastTremors (1990)
Can you fly you sucker?? Some how comedy, sci-fi, and horror came together to give us what might be one the most iconic performances of Kevin Bacon, Fred Ward, and the rest of the surrounding cast. These crawly things make for one wild ride in the bustling metropolis of Perfection.

The Confused BreakfastI'VE NEVER SEEN... Cocktail (1988)
In talking about what movies to review next, we started noticing that there were a few instances where one of the hosts felt passionate about a particular movie from childhood, and the other 2 hosts had never seen it. So we came up with a new idea for an episode. We will be reviewing a classic movie from 2 different perspectives. First, from the perspective of someone who has seen the movie countless times. And secondly, from the perspective of 2 people that have JUST watched the movie for the first and only time. Today's episode will focus on 1988’s ‘Cocktail.’ Whether you have se...2022-03-231h 11
