The Confused Breakfast

The Patriot (2000)

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 On this brand new episode, we dive into 2000’s The Patriot and ask if this is peak “Mel Gibson dad-on-a-warpath” or just Revolutionary War Braveheart-lite. We break down whether Jason Isaacs’ Tavington is an all-time hateable villain and if Heath Ledger’s Gabriel is actually the real patriot of this story. Also, we answer important questions like- why is Charlotte single and is their romance even believable?  And could you imagine being “the flute guy” in a war band?

Slap Shot (1977)

Get on the bus with the boys because we finally reviewed Slap Shot.  In this episode we ask the big questions: is Reggie Dunlop actually the hero of this story, or a complete piece of shit who never grows up? Is Slap Shot the greatest hockey movie ever made, or does the lack of actual hockey knock it down a peg? Are the Hanson Brothers as epic as you remember?  Why was Ralphie's mom in bed with Reggie Dunlop?? •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:02:30 - Memories of first viewing •0:06:00  - Pertinent movie details  •0:10:00  -  Critical and fan reviews •0:14:00 - Scene by scene breakdown  •1:29 :00 - Modern day ratings —————————————————————— SPONSORS-  **ASPCA-  To learn more about Pet Health Insurance, visit http://aspcapetinsurance.com/breakfast  **.

Do The Right Thing (1989)

On this episode, we dive into Spike Lee’s Do the Right Thing, a movie that somehow feels like it’s baked into America’s bloodstream. We’re talking oppressive heat, blaring boom boxes, and one summer day that turns a Brooklyn block into a pressure cooker for race, rage, and “doing the right thing.” Is Bugging Out just an early version of cancel culture, or is he the only one calling out a broken system? Did Mookie actually do the right thing when he threw that trash can, and who’s really responsible for Radio Raheem’s death? Is the true villain the cops, Sal, the neighborhood… or the heat itself that pushes everybody past their breaking point? •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:02:30 - Memories of first viewing •0:06:00  - Pertinent movie details  •0:10:00  -  Critical and fan reviews •0:15:00 - Scene by scene breakdown  •1:37 :00 - Modern day ratings —————————————————————— SPONSORS-  **.
