Ghost Rider (2007)

Ghost Rider gives us Nic Cage riding a possessed motorcycle with his skull on fire. This has to be the best movie of all-time right? Well…. spoilers- someone on this episode calls this the worst Marvel movie ever. It’s not great but the conversation around it is hilarious.  Enjoy!•0:00:00 - Introductions•0:07:30 - Memories of first viewing•0:12:30 - Pertinent movie details •0:16:30- Critical and fan reviews•0:28:00 - Scene by scene breakdown •1:54:00 - Modern day ratings——————————————————————SPO

Three Amigos! (1986)

One for each other and all for one! The brave Confused Breakfast are we! Three Amigos gave us the dynamic duo of Steve-Martin-Short. Did this give us the best Chevy Chase as a 3rd wheel performance? Does Martin Short steal the show in his first major role? Is "My Little Buttercup" the best song ever written. We’re just going to assume this is the singing bush.. so say your chant and fire your pistol STRAIGHT UP IN THE AIR! •0:00:00 - Introductions•0:03:30 - Memories of first viewing•0:08:00 -

Iron Eagle (1986)

Picture this- your dad is captured by a fake country. You have never flown an F-16 by yourself before. Using a rag-tag group of friends, all under the age of 18, you figure out how to rescue him on your own, while demonstrating how vulnerable US Air Force bases are and committing serious war crimes deserving of jail time in multiple countries. None of it possible without the cassette player strapped to your knee blasting "One Vision" by Queen.It's something only 80s kids can believe.•0:00:00

If you have been following this show for awhile, you know our history with The Boondock Saints. We reviewed the first one and mostly still loved it as much as we did nostalgically.  But our history with Boondock Saints 2: All Saints Day is much darker.  What can largely be viewed as one of the worst sequels ever, Mike and Sean sentenced it to some jail-time in our “On-trial” episode.  It’s out and we figured it was time to talk about it again.  Did it get any better with age?  —————————

American Beauty (1999)

American Beauty (1999)

American Beauty came out in 1999 and clearly struck a chord with filmgoers. It became the talk of the nation and ended up winning 5 Oscars including best picture. 25 years later, do we all still feel the same way about it?  Are we still inspired by Ricky’s story about the plastic bag? Are we making mental notes about our own meaningless lives because of Lester’s commentary on suburbia and middle age? Or are we feeling slightly confused and wondering what we ever saw in this flick? Regardless, it

Alien (1979)

Alien (1979)

The original Alien movie is easily explained by saying that it is Star Wars meets 2001 A Space Odyssey meets The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Basically, Jaws but in Space. And when you can garner comparisons of all of those movies, then it is no wonder why it won an Oscar and is the 51st highest rated movie on IMDB. The movie that made us all afraid of stomach aches. Does it still hold up? Does AJ think it is too spooky? Do we think about this movie every time we have a bad stomach ache? All this an

Bio-Dome (1996)

Bio-Dome holds a special place in many of our hearts because of the joy and laughter that it brought us when we were younger, but the critics and general public really seem to think that this is a BAD movie. Why was it so enticing to us as kids? What does ‘If you were Yogurt, would you be fruit at the bottom or stirred mean? Could they have hired a better sidekick than Stephan Baldwin? Was Pauly Shore just phoning it in on set? We dive into all of this and so much more, enjoy!•0:00:00 -

Everyone loved this scary/thrilling adventure movie as a kid. However, after a modern-day rewatch, we have a lot questions. Does Matt Frewer outshine Rick Moranis? Why is there a destructive laser sitting unprotected in Ray’s attic? Is the ant scene still one of the most heartbreaking death scenes in movie history? What would have happened if they never got rescued? Why did Ray think that pitching this idea to the scientists was actually a good idea? •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:03:15 - Memories
