Remember that when you can’t breathe, you can’t scream.  On today’s episode, we discuss a movie that opened at number #1 at the box office and spawned 3 sequels and a spinoff with Lake Placid.   Despite all of this it was nominated for 6 Razzie awards, including worst picture, worst director, worst screenplay and worst couple— Jon Voight and the animatronic snake.  This movie taught us that even though the jungle makes you horny, you need to stay away because everything else is out to get you.    Make you cry July is in full effect.   Join us for 19997’s Anaconda.   •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:04:00 - Memories of first viewing •0:10:00  - Pertinent movie details  •0:14:00- Critical and fan reviews •0:24:00 - Scene by scene breakdown  •1:35:00 - 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.

Street Fighter (1994)

On today’s episode, we discuss a movie based off of one of the most popular video game franchises of the 90s.  A movie with a script that was so disposable that it was rewritten or thrown away daily on set and many of us still aren’t sure what the plot is.  JCVD did everything he could to tank the movie, while Raul Julia is quite possibly the only saving grace, despite being his last role prior to passing away.   Make you cry July continues with 1994’s Street Figher! •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:04:00 - Memories of first viewing •0:07:15  - Pertinent movie details  •0:12:00- Critical and fan reviews •0:21:00 - Scene by scene breakdown  •1:42:00 - Modern day ratings —————————————————————— SPONSORS- ****NordVPN-  Grab your EXCLUSIVE eal by going to http://nordvpn.com/breakfast to get a Huge Discount off your NordVPN Plan + 4 additional months on top!

Maximum Overdrive (1986)

Make you Cry July starts off with an absolute bang. This movie was Stephen King's first and only attempt at directing a movie and the critics didn't like it. Stephen himself hated it. But here we are almost 40 years later, dissecting one of the best bad movies ever made. It caused an irrational fear of soda machines, lawn mowers, drawbridges, trucks and drain pipes. Join us as we chat about 1986's Maximum Overdrive! •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:04:00 - Memories of first viewing •0:08:30  - Pertinent movie details  •0:15:00- Critical and fan reviews •0:23:00 - Scene by scene breakdown  •1:35:00 - Modern day ratings —————————————————————— SPONSORS- ****NordVPN-  Grab your EXCLUSIVE deal by going to http://nordvpn.com/breakfast to get a Huge Discount off your NordVPN Plan + 4 additional months on top!

O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000)

On today’s episode we discuss a movie loosely based on The Odessey and nominated for 2 Oscars.  This movie was the first adapted screenplay by the Coen Brothers and was called a hillbilly musical comedy adventure by John Turturo.  It made Dapper Dan a household name, and turned "Man of Constant Sorrow" into a bluegrass banger for the new millennium.

True Lies (1994)

Today’s new episode is a full-blown review of the first movie ever to cost more than $100 million to make.  This movie taught us some important lessons like kids are 10 seconds of joy and 30 years of misery, that women can’t be lived with nor killed and that a vet will get em wet.   We are of course talking about 1994’s True Lies •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:03:30 - Memories of first viewing •0:07:30  - Pertinent movie details  •0:12:00- Critical and fan reviews •0:25:00 - Scene by scene breakdown  •1:38:00 - Modern day ratings —————————————————————— SPONSORS- ****NordVPN-  Grab your EXCLUSIVE eal by going to http://nordvpn.com/breakfast to get a Huge Discount off your NordVPN Plan + 4 additional months on top!
