The Confused Breakfast

Rocky II (1979)

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.

BRUNCH: Talking Super Troopers 3 with Broken Lizard!!

Go see SUPER TROOPERS 3 this weekend! Not only did we love the movie, but we also had an incredible interview with the Broken Lizard crew. We dig into the “What if Farva married your sister?” idea, wild Brian Cox stories, improv insanity, and why they’re hellbent on cramming a laugh into every single page. If you miss packed theaters laughing at hard‑R comedies, this episode will convince you to get off the couch, grab a liter of cola, and see Super Troopers 3 on the big screen. —————————————————————— 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 .

Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977)

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 .

BRUNCH: Hey Dude! The 90's Called with Christine Taylor and David Lascher

’90s Nickelodeon kids, this one’s for you. Christine Taylor and David Lascher from Hey Dude, The 90s Called are here to talk about shooting Nickelodeon’s first live-action show on a real dude ranch and why Hey Dude is better for kids than what’s on TV now. We swap desert-island VHS picks, dig into the most underrated Ben Stiller movie, and Christine actually names the one Ben Stiller film she never wants to watch again. She also drops a completely insane Tom Cruise home-movie story that you have to hear to believe. —————————————————————— 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.

Rumble in the Bronx (1995)

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.
