Growing up in the 80s was super weird. Join us as we rewatch the movies that shaped our youth and likely damaged our tiny brains and contributed to subpar levels of self esteem. It'll be fun - we promise

  1. Santa Claus: The Movie

    Santa Claus: The Movie

    Well, Emily is back on her bullsh*t... In our first and possibly last Christmas episode of the season, we're watching a fanciful fever dream of a film - 1985's Dudley Moore vehicle - Santa Claus: The Movie. Inexplicably, a British fave, this movie struggles to find it's plot and may have been written by someone who has never seen a movie before. All that being said, bravo to the set designer of the film - they really went for it and by it we mean all of it. No expense spared, no color unused.

  2. The Princess Bride

    The Princess Bride

    Guys, I feel like we don't say this very often on this podcast, but you know what? In the spirit of the holiday season, we are going to do it today. By golly, we love this movie so so so so so so so much. You'll be able to detect our affinity for it by all the crying we do in the second half of the episode. It's just wonderful and sometimes you need that, you know? Life is kinda hard, and the cold weather makes you sad, and the darkness is so, well... dark and you're just tired. So tired. And every now and again you need to watch a movie that leaves you feeling nice and sparkly on the inside and makes you smile and sigh and scream BOOOOOOO at all your friends and family for the rest of the week. So yeah, this is The Princess Bride from 1987 and we like it. A lot. Tell us how much you like by sending us an email confidentlycontroversial@gmail.com

  3. Rocky IV

    Rocky IV

    All you Rocky gals are going to be pumped for this week's episode! What? THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A ROCKY GIRL?!?! I mean, yeah obviously and yet, inexplicably, Emily brought Rocky IV to the podcast this week. We went ahead and watched it, but we don't have many nice things to say about the experience and we are ladies who love a good montage. I found it highly unbelievable that anyone on earth cares this much about boxing, Emily disagrees. Come hear about that and James Brown and people wearing jeans for the wrong activities - AGAIN! You should totally send us a message confidentlycontroversial@gmail.com

  4. The Doors

    The Doors

    Much like the sand we have in our jeans from wearing them to the beach, this movie made us very uncomfortable. In this episode, we dive into 1991's The Doors biopic - a chaotic swirl of psychedelics, Native American imagery, drug-fueled egos, and whatever Oliver Stone thought subtlety was, this film has everything and nothing all at once. We unpack Val Kilmer’s wild-eyed performance as Jim Morrison/Ron Burgandy, the film’s questionable choices with casting, run time, story, and why this movie feels more like a fever dream than a good time. Yay. Hang with us on Instagram @confidentlycontroversial

    Hairspray

    Goodbye spooky season, hello movie musicals! Our regularly scheduled programming is back and this week we are watching John Water’s 1988 mainstream madness movie - Hairspray. While certainly not the best movie we’ve ever seen and likely not the segregation solving saga he imagined, at least it introduced us and the world to Divine and we like that. Watch with us and then be cool and visit our TikTok @confidentlycontro.

    Death Becomes Her

    gHoUls. GhOsTs. dRY bOnES. Happy Halloween and welcome to our final sPoOky episode of season 4! This week we are putting on our under-eye patches, sliding into our Spanx, and settling in to watch 1992's Death Becomes Her. And spoiler alert, guys. We loved it. A lot. Like, so much. I mean, you have to love a movie that boldly calls out America's obsession with looking and staying young a full 30 years before people are literally getting new faces - we see you KJ. Plus, it's filled with Hollywood's heaviest of hitters - Meryl Streep, Goldie Hawn, Bruce Willis, Isabella Rosellini, and, of course, Fabio.

    An American Werewolf in London

    Is it funny? Sure. Is it scary? Also, sure. But you wanna know what it is most of all? Kinda gross. The werewolf transformation is not something you want to get involved in. Your clothes are ruined. Your skin is busted. Your nails? Forget about it. And all the Hair, Skin and Nails in the world isn't going to fix your problem. Guys, we are watching 1981's An American Werewolf in London. See our cool new merch - confidentlycontroversial.com
