The Confused Breakfast

On today’s episode, we’re diving into a cult classic that redefined what it means to be weird, hilarious, and just downright absurd.  A movie showing the world that Weird Al Yankovic should be protected at all costs.  This movie showed us the greatest hotdog/twinkie combination of all time and taught us that broads don’t belong in braodcasting, that gun control is for wimps and commies, and that life is like a mop.    We are of course talking about 1989’s UHF •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:03:30 - Memories of first viewing •0:08:00  - Pertinent movie details  •0:12:00- Critical and fan reviews •0:22:00 - Scene by scene breakdown  •1:28:00 - Modern day ratings —————————————————————— SPONSORS- ****ASPCA-  To learn more about Pet Health Insurance, visit http://aspcapetinsurance.com/breakfast  ————————————————— **Support us at http://patreon.com/confusedbreakfast for bonus weekly episodes, voting on upcoming movies, giving your modern-day ratings on our movies and much more. **Mail us something   The Confused Breakfast PO Box 10016 Cedar Rapids, IA 52402-9802 Special thanks to our executive producers- Josh Miller, Starling, Michael Guiliano and NicMad.

Almost 2 months ago, we released a brunch episode recapping the first 2 episodes of Season 2 of HBO’s The Last of Us.  It was a trial of sorts, as we may dip our toes in TV series reviews in the future.  Well, the problem with doing that episode was that we all obviously kept watching and badly wanted to recap the entire season with each other. HEAVY SPOILERS if you haven’t see all of Season 2.   We return to regularly scheduled programming this Thursday with UHF and next Monday with a Brunch about famous movie curses. ————————————————— **Support us at http://patreon.com/confusedbreakfast for bonus weekly episodes, voting on upcoming movies, giving your modern-day ratings on our movies and much more. **Mail us something   The Confused Breakfast PO Box 10016 Cedar Rapids, IA 52402-9802 Special thanks to our executive producers- Josh Miller, Starling, Michael Guiliano and NicMad.

On the exciting conclusion of May of Damon, we are discussing a cult classic that helped launch the poker boom of the early 2000s, inspired millions of dudes to think they could turn $100 into a Vegas bankroll, and gave us the most unhinged Oreo-eating villain of all time.  It’s Matt Damon playing a genius again, Ed Norton being a menace, and John Malkovich going full cartoon Russian mobster. We are of course talking about 1998’s Rounders. •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:03:30 - Memories of first viewing •0:09:00  - Pertinent movie details  •0:12:30- Critical and fan reviews •0:20:00 - Scene by scene breakdown  •1:30:00 - Modern day ratings ————————————————— **Support us at http://patreon.com/confusedbreakfast for bonus weekly episodes, voting on upcoming movies, giving your modern-day ratings on our movies and much more. **Mail us something   The Confused Breakfast PO Box 10016 Cedar Rapids, IA 52402-9802 Special thanks to our executive producers- Josh Miller, Starling, Michael Guiliano and NicMad.
