Imagine a movie so perfectly crafted that Jack Nicholson improvs half his scenes, Leonardo DiCaprio plays a character in constant panic, and Mark Wahlberg steals the entire film in under 10 minutes of screen time. We're talking Scorsese at his absolute PEAK.  We dissect The Departed scene by scene with a modern eye.   Which character might be secretly gay?  Did you catch the hidden on-screen tell about which characters wouldn’t make it to the end of the movie?  Would you rather be Colin or Billy?  So grab your cranberry juice, tell your mom you’re not gonna make it home for supper.   •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:03:30 - Memories of first viewing •0:07:30  - Pertinent movie details  •0:12:30- Critical and fan reviews •0:21:00 - Scene by scene breakdown  •1:50:00 - Modern day ratings —————————————————————— SPONSORS- ****Hungryroot-  Get 40% off your first box PLUS get a free item in every box for life.

Matt Damon stars in "The Bourne Identity," a spy thriller that asks: What if your midlife crisis involved accidentally being a government-trained assassin instead of buying a sports car? Join us as we unpack how Jason Bourne turns amnesia into an extreme sport, complete with epic fight scenes, a Mini Cooper chase that defies physics, and more identity crises than a therapist's convention.

We can't be the only people who has wondered what a modern-day recasting of "Forrest Gump" would look like, right? Instead of having Forrest Gump be born in the 40's, our new Forrest could be born in 80s. This would give him a whole new set up historical and cultural events to be a part of. Join us as we all bring some ideas to the table and we ultimately pick the actors who will step into those iconic roles. Enjoy! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On today’s episode, we discuss the #11 highest rated movie of all-time on IMDB.. It was the highest-grossing film of 1994 domestically in a year absolutely stacked with movies. It was the winner of 6 Oscars and spent an insane 42 weeks in movie theaters. We dive deep. Is Jenny actually as terrible as we think she is? Is it just a fun story or can we actually learn anything from Forrest? Did all of this actually happen or is Forrest an unreliable narrator? •0:00:00 - Introductions•0:03:30 - Memories of first viewing•0:08:00 - Pertinent movie details •0:13:30- Critical and fan reviews•0:25:00 - Scene by scene breakdown •1:59:00 - 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 BreakfastPO Box 10016Cedar Rapids, IA52402-9802Special thanks to our executive producers- Josh Miller, Starling, Michael Guiliano and NicMad.Welcome to our newest members - Will Perry-Parks, Aunt Tuddys bar tender, Adam Trammeo, Patrick Allen, Travis Callan, Ccline23, Jason Recevuto, MYKKE, Nolan Carroll, Jeremy Hauskins,  Learn more about your ad choices.

Ladies and gentlemen, you’ve made a bold choice today. Instead of going to work, doing chores, attending school, or paying bills — you chose us. You chose to fake sick, throw on a bathrobe and spend your day with three grown men dissecting a 1986 teen comedy in order to get clout on the internet. Today, we live like Ferris. No responsibilities. No guilt. No Cameron whispering “I’m dying.” We’re eating pancreas at fancy restaurants, crashing parades, and joyriding in a priceless Ferrari we have no business touching. And if you don’t stop and listen to this podcast once in a while... you could miss it.
