Dawn of the Dead (2004)
Show notes
We're wrapping up spooky season with Zack Snyder's 2004 zombie remake, Dawn of the Dead! Is this one of the greatest opening sequences in horror movie history? Are fast zombies actually scarier, or do we miss the slow-moving undead? Was CJ secretly the smartest person in the entire mall? And how many unbelievably stupid decisions can one group of survivors make before we completely lose our minds? Join us as we revisit the terrifying zombie effects, the unforgettable Johnny Cash opening, the bizarre obsession with saving Chips the dog, and an ending that leaves us with plenty to argue about. •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:03:30 - Memories of first viewing •0:07:15 - Pertinent movie details •0:11:45 - Critical and fan reviews •0:17:00 - Scene by scene breakdown •1:47:00 - Modern day ratings ———————————————————— SPONSORS-

The Blair Witch Project (ReIssue From 2023)
Show notes
**This is a re-airing of an episode that we recorded in October of 2023. Simply to help enhance your enjoyment of the season.
When you saw The Blair Witch Project in 1999, you either A: thought it was the scariest movie you have ever seen or B: you didn’t finish it because you puked in the theatre and have to leave. Whatever your thoughts are, this movie deserves our praise for bringing the ‘found-footage’ genre to the masses. We dive deeper than any other podcast and dissect this movie with a modern eye. Why was Heather so hated? Was the Blair Witch the one messing with them? Is this movie a masterpiece?

28 Days Later (2002)
Show notes
This week, we're revisiting 28 Days Later (2002), the movie that helped reinvent the zombie genre and made running zombies everyone's worst nightmare. Why does this movie look like it was filmed on a flip phone? Could the entire outbreak have been prevented if the scientist hadn't called the virus "rage"? And is this one of the scariest opening sequences in horror history? We're breaking down the terrifying moments, questionable decisions, bizarre filmmaking choices, and whether this low-budget horror classic still holds up over 20 years later.

BRUNCH: Hocus Pocus x Halloweentown
Show notes
It's a special Halloween double feature as the guys revisit Hocus Pocus, the very first movie they ever reviewed on The Confused Breakfast, and pair it with Disney's Halloweentown (1998)! They break down the bizarre obsession with virgins in Hocus Pocus, the ridiculous rules surrounding the Sanderson sisters' resurrection, and why the three witches are still so iconic. Then it's off to Halloweentown, where the guys debate whether nostalgia is the only thing keeping this Disney Channel classic alive, question the town's bizarre residents, and roast its questionable special effects. Plus, plenty of hilarious tangents about Halloween traditions, childhood fears, and whether living in a town where it's Halloween every single day would actually be a nightmare.

The Faculty (1998)
Show notes
This week on The Confused Breakfast, we're heading back to 1998 to revisit the star-studded sci-fi horror classic, The Faculty! Does this movie actually have one of the greatest casts of the '90s? What the hell is going on with Josh Hartnett's haircut? Is Elijah Wood the most uncoordinated runner in movie history? Why does becoming an alien automatically make everyone hotter? And could an alien invasion actually IMPROVE your lives?
Grab your Tommy Hilfiger, spray on some CK One, and stay hydrated as we find out if The Faculty still holds up nearly 30 years later!

BRUNCH: What Iconic Movie Car Do You Want To Own (Tournament Bracket)
Show notes
After a live podcast recording of The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift in Cedar Rapids, IA (dropping in November), we decided to involve the audience and drop a single elimination tournament bracket. We were trying to find out what iconic movie car would be the one that we would want to take home with us and drive around town. Maybe pick the kids up from school in it, take it tailgating, go on a date in. Join us as we narrow the field down until one car wins the whole thing!

The Fly (1986)
Show notes
We're stepping inside the telepod this week to revisit David Cronenberg's 1986 body-horror classic, THE FLY! Is this one of the most disturbing horror movies ever made, or is it secretly one of the greatest tragic love stories of the '80s? Could teleportation ever actually work, and would you be willing to try it? Why the heck does he have baboons in his apartment, and more importantly, what does a monthly baboon subscription cost? Is keeping your discarded body parts in a medicine cabinet the most disgusting thing imaginable? How could a movie so gross, make us so emotional? Grab your favorite insect repellent, check your telepod for unwanted passengers, and be afraid. Be very afraid.

Movies, Conspiracies and Creepy Stuff with Ninjas Are Butterflies
Show notes
We traveled to Orlando to hang with our new friends Ninjas Are Butterflies for an incredible crossover episode that goes completely off the rails. Are we looking at Mrs. Doubtfire all wrong? Is Interstellar overrated? Could Bigfoot actually be an interdimensional creature? What's the deal with Mothman, mysterious giants, paranormal encounters and the terrifying idea of cave exploration? We debate our favorite movies, explore some truly bizarre theories, question reality, share plenty of laughs and discover just how much these two podcasts have in common.

Short Circuit (1986)
Show notes
The boys are coming to you from Astoria, Oregon with a review of 1986’s Short Circuit from INSIDE of Stephanie’s house! This is a fun one where we tackle the important questions. Is Johnny Five still one of the most lovable movie robots ever created? How do the practical effects somehow still look this good nearly 40 years later? Is Ally Sheedy secretly doing all the heavy lifting? How did Steve Guttenberg end up feeling like a supporting character? And what do we even begin to do with Fisher Stevens’ performance through a modern-day lens? Grab some input. LET’S GO!

From the extremely crushable 120-pages and the relatable teenage characters to the beautifully, scary cover art and quirky book titles, this series quickly became the 2nd-best selling book series of all-time. The boys discuss their memories of the series, favorite episodes, adaptations and more. Join them for a fun trip down memory lane!

The Truman Show (1998)
Show notes
This week we tackle one of the most ahead-of-it’s-time movies ever made, The Truman Show. What seemed like a fantasy back in 1998 is most certainly conceivable today. We dive deep into all the important questions - What happened when Truman was looking for some private time as a teenager? Did Meryl and Marlon actually care about Truman? Is Sylvia actually in love with him or was she just all about the cause? Would you choose the real world or SeaHaven?

Hot Rod (2007)
Show notes
2007’s Hot Rod. Is this one of the most perfectly stupid comedies of the 2000s, or is it really just a bunch of hilarious Lonely Island sketches loosely stitched together into a movie? Why does Andy Samberg falling down a mountain somehow get funnier the longer it goes? Is “Cool Beans” comedy genius or absolute nonsense? Is Will Arnett the ultimate douchebag boyfriend? Is Danny McBride stealing nearly every scene he’s in? Grab your Jofa helmet, drink some green tea, reinforce the takeoff ramp (or don’t) and prepare to party. Cool beans.

We had the honor of going back to Astoria, OR to tour the inside of Mikey's house from The Goonies. This time, it has been COMPLETELY restored to it's original state from the movie.

Rat Race (2001)
Show notes
We’re racing back to 2001 for Rat Race. Is this an underrated comedy classic, or do you need some serious nostalgia for this kind of dumb, over-the-top slapstick to still work? Does the movie’s decision to keep its foot on the gas for nearly two hours make it more entertaining, or eventually just exhausting? How the hell do these people commit so many felonies and never have the cops come looking for them? And did the Baja Men really think “Rat Race” was going to be their follow-up hit to “Who Let the Dogs Out”? Grab your locker key, stay the hell away from the squirrel lady, and remember: there are no rules. We tackle all of this and more!
