The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006)

We're heading to Japan to revisit 2006's The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift! Is this secretly one of the best movies in the franchise? How good is this soundtrack?

We touch on all of this and more in front of a live studio audience. Buckle up, crank up the Kid Rock, and get ready to drift through one of the most ridiculous entries in the Fast & Furious universe! •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:02:30 - Memories of first viewing •0:06:00 - Pertinent movie details •0:12:00 - Critical and fan reviews •0:18:00 - Scene by scene breakdown •1:31:00 - Modern day ratings ———————————————————— SPONSORS- **Chubbies- $20 off your order with the code CONFUSED at http://chubbiesshorts.com **ASPCA- To learn more about Pet Health Insurance, visit http://aspcapetinsurance.com/breakfast **Cedar Ridge Distillery- Go check out our sponsor and order some whiskey. http://cedarridgewhiskey.com **Ethos- Get your free quote at http://ethos.com/breakfast **Butcher Box- Go to http://butcherbox.com/breakfast to get 20% off your first box plus your choice of free ground beef for life or free chicken thighs on or top sirloins in every box for a year. **PROGRESSIVE- Visit http://progressive.com **FABLETICS- Get 80% off everything when you sign up as a VIP!

Dawn of the Dead (2004)

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- **Chubbies- $20 off your order with the code CONFUSED at http://chubbiesshorts.com **ASPCA- To learn more about Pet Health Insurance, visit http://aspcapetinsurance.com/breakfast **Cedar Ridge Distillery- Go check out our sponsor and order some whiskey. http://cedarridgewhiskey.com **Ethos- Get your free quote at http://ethos.com/breakfast **Butcher Box- Go to http://butcherbox.com/breakfast to get 20% off your first box plus your choice of free ground beef for life or free chicken thighs on or top sirloins in every box for a year. **PROGRESSIVE- Visit http://progressive.com **FABLETICS- Get 80% off everything when you sign up as a VIP!

The Blair Witch Project (ReIssue From 2023)

**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?

28 Days Later (2002)

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. •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:02:30 - Memories of first viewing •0:05:30 - Pertinent movie details •0:15:00 - Critical and fan reviews •0:16:00 - Scene by scene breakdown •1:26:00 - Modern day ratings —————————————————————— SPONSORS- **ASPCA- To learn more about Pet Health Insurance, visit http://aspcapetinsurance.com/breakfast **Ethos- Get your free quote at http://ethos.com/breakfast **Butcher Box- Go to http://butcherbox.com/breakfast to get 20% off your first box plus your choice of free ground beef for life or free chicken thighs on or top sirloins in every box for a year. **Cedar Ridge Distillery- Go check out our sponsor and order some whiskey. http://cedarridgewhiskey.com **TruDiagnostics- Our listeners can get 20% off at http://TruDiagnostic.com using code CONFUSED at checkout. **NordVPN- Grab your EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal by going to http://nordvpn.com/breakfast to get a Huge Discount off your NordVPN Plan + 4 additional months on top!

BRUNCH: Hocus Pocus x Halloweentown

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)

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?

Female Listener Entering the Chat

Hey guys…millennial woman here, yes you read that right, a woman that not only listens to your podcast but loves it. Side note: I actually have quite a disturbing story involving a blockbuster experience, but we shall save that for another time. I just wanted to say I absolutely love your recaps as well as your ranking guide episodes, such as best movie, worst movie ending, etc. I will say true to the female stereotype…I’m not much into action movies, but because of your recaps, banter and suggestions, I have watched action movies you guys have covered and have discovered some gems that are movie game changing! Keep up the great work, but don’t let that go to your head because remember at the end of the day you all are still…just…(insert spooky music)…MEN. mic drop. 🤣❤️ P.S. Die Hard IS a Christmas movie!
Awesome podcast

Terrible breakfast content…

Oct 8

MickJonesOfficial

These guys are terrible. They are always talking about the movies I’ve watched through my childhood and giving them reviews that I couldn’t agree with more. It’s like they are trying to be my best friends and relate to me through movies. I guess I’ll keep listening; only because they talk about movies, are from Iowa, they drink Cedar Ridge whiskey, and they keep bringing TOTAL AWESOME GOONIES CONTENT. Keep up the great work guys!

A nostalgic journey back to the movie rental store era and the amazing movies from our childhood that we all know and love. With the benefit of 20+ years of hindsight, we revisit and dissect these classic movies to see if they still move us the way they did as kids. Full movie review episode released every Thursday. Bonus Brunch episode every Monday.
