The Confused Breakfast

We’re ending our Summer of ’70s with one of the most controversial movies we’ve ever covered: A Clockwork Orange. Is this an artsy masterpiece or just shock for the sake of it?  Are we supposed to feel sorry for Alex DeLarge? Is Malcolm McDowell giving one of the greatest performances of all time?  One of us gives it a perfect 10 and another basically wants to delete it from his library.  Can you guess who is who?!?!  Grab your droogs, pour yourself a glass of milk and get ready for a bit of the old ultra-violence. We tackle all of this and more! •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:02:30 - Memories of first viewing •0:06:15  - Pertinent movie details  •0:09:30  -  Critical and fan reviews •0:15:00 - Scene by scene breakdown  •1:38:00 - Modern day ratings ————————————————————  LIVE PODCAST-  October 10th in Cedar Rapids, IA-  https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-confused-breakfast-a-live-podcast-recording-tickets-1026951990047  —————————————————————— SPONSORS-  **Butcher Box-  Go to http://butcherbox.com/breakfast to get 20% off your first box plus your choice of free ground beef for life or free chicken thighs on or top sirloins in every box for a year. **Cedar Ridge Distillery-  Go check out our sponsor and order some whiskey.  http://cedarridgewhiskey.com **K12-  See how K12 Powered Schools can help unlock your child’s full potential.  Enroll online today at http://K12.com/confused  **.

We’re heading back to Faber College for 1978’s Animal House. Is this still one of the greatest comedies ever made, or has nearly 50 years of changing tastes finally put Delta House on double secret probation? Are the Deltas lovable underdogs fighting the establishment, or are we actually rooting for a bunch of complete assholes?  Does John Belushi’s cafeteria scene belong in the physical-comedy Hall of Fame? We tackle all this and more.   Grab your toga, fire up the Deathmobile, and remember: fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life.  •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:02:30 - Memories of first viewing •0:06:00  - Pertinent movie details  •0:09:30  -  Critical and fan reviews •0:16:00 - Scene by scene breakdown  •1:24:00 - Modern day ratings —————————————————————— SPONSORS-  **Butcher Box-  Go to http://butcherbox.com/breakfast to get 20% off your first box plus your choice of free ground beef for life or free chicken thighs on or top sirloins in every box for a year. **Cedar Ridge Distillery-  Go check out our sponsor and order some whiskey.  http://cedarridgewhiskey.com **K12-  See how K12 Powered Schools can help unlock your child’s full potential.  Enroll online today at http://K12.com/confused  **.

On today’s new episode, we dive into Rocky II and ask the big question: is this actually better than the original?   We also break down Stallone taking over the director’s chair, Apollo’s wounded pride and hate mail, Adrian’s polarizing storyline, and that absolutely legendary training montage through Philly. •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:02:30 - Memories of first viewing •0:06:00  - Pertinent movie details  •0:09:30  -  Critical and fan reviews •0:15:00 - Scene by scene breakdown  •1:29:00 - Modern day ratings —————————————————————— SPONSORS-  **ASPCA-  To learn more about Pet Health Insurance, visit http://aspcapetinsurance.com/breakfast  **Cedar Ridge Distillery-  Go check out our sponsor and order some whiskey.  http://cedarridgedistillery.com⁠ **K12-  See how K12 Powered Schools can help unlock your child’s full potential.  Enroll online today at http://K12.com/confused  **.

Our month of 70’s movies kicks off with an absolute classic.  Close Encounters of the Third Kind was a revolutionary film and we do a deep, modern-day dive.  Is Roy Neary one of the worst dad/husbands in movie history?  Did you know Carl Weathers was in this movie?   How about Old Man Marley?  Ever had a third-wheel like Larry?  We touch on all of this and so much more! •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:02:00 - Memories of first viewing •0:05:30  - Pertinent movie details  •0:11:00  -  Critical and fan reviews •0:19:00 - Scene by scene breakdown  •1:43 :00 - Modern day ratings —————————————————————— SPONSORS-  **Cedar Ridge Distillery-  Go check out our sponsor and order some whiskey.  http://cedarridgewhiskey.com **QUINCE-  Download the Quince app for app-exclusive offers, or go to http://Quince.com/confused .

When you think of this movie, you don’t remember the plot – you remember the first time you realized a real human being was actually doing all that insane stunt work on your VHS copy.  Is this the most believable “one guy vs. twenty dudes” fighting ever put on film?  Does the awful dubbing ruin the vibe, or is it secretly the thing that makes this movie so endlessly rewatchable?  Is Elaine the most brutally screwed shop owner we’ve ever covered? We tackle all of this and more as we decide whether Rumble in the Bronx actually holds up… or if we’re just here to watch Jackie Chan hit people with refrigerators. •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:02:30 - Memories of first viewing •0:06:00  - Pertinent movie details  •0:10:00  -  Critical and fan reviews •0:16 :00 - Scene by scene breakdown  •1:33 :00 - Modern day ratings —————————————————————— SPONSORS-  **Cedar Ridge Distillery-  Go check out our sponsor and order some whiskey.  http://cedarridgewhiskey.com **K12-  See how K12 Powered Schools can help unlock your child’s full potential.  Enroll online today at http://K12.com/confused  **.

Today's new episode is taking us back to 1978.  It was a beautiful time to world history-  Kiss was the biggest band in the world and there wasn’t a cellphone in sight.  1999’s Detroit Rock City was a major flop when it was released but it certainly found a cult following.  It’s a buddy movie.  A road-trip movie.  A coming of age movie.  And it’s all about KISS!!!  Sounds like a perfect movie right?  Join us as we dissect it with a modern eye to see if it still holds up.  •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:02:30 - Memories of first viewing •0:06:00  - Pertinent movie details  •0:12:00  -  Critical and fan reviews •0:21:00 - Scene by scene breakdown  •1:33 :00 - Modern day ratings —————————————————————— SPONSORS-  **Chubbies-  Chubbies is giving our viewers 20% off their order with our code CONFUSED at http://chubbiesshorts.com  **Cedar Ridge Distillery-  Go check out our sponsor and order some whiskey.  http://cedarridgewhiskey.com **K12-  See how K12 Powered Schools can help unlock your child’s full potential.  Enroll online today at http://K12.com/confused  **.
