Black Hawk Down (2001)

It’s officially Christmas season, so why not start it off with a bang! Gremlins was the 4th highest grossing film of the year in 1984 and spawned a whole franchise after it’s surprising success. Did this movie single-handedly help create the PG-13 rating? Is this more of a Christmas movie than Die Hard? Did one of these scene inspire Tarantino to write Inglourious Basterds? Where are the parents? •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:04:45 - Memories of first viewing •0:09:45 - Pertinent movie details  •0:15:00- Critical and fan reviews •0:25:00 - Scene by scene breakdown  •1:43:00 - Modern day ratings —————————————————————— **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.

You can’t deny the power of a Hallmark Christmas movie. Stick to the formula, release it to the public and watch the cash roll in. What if they let us make one? Who would we cast in the movie? What would the premise be? It sounds easy but wait till you hear what we come up with.   —————————————————————— **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.

On a brand new episode, we dissect 2001’s ‘Black Hawk Down’ with a modern eye. It was the first war movie to be released after 9/11. It worthy of it’s accolades and awards? Is this one of the most-stacked casts of actors that we have ever done? Why does Mike love helicopters so much?  This is a heavy episode but we still have a good time. Enjoy! •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:03:00 - Memories of first viewing •0:08:30 - Pertinent movie details  •0:12:00- Critical and fan reviews •0:22:00 - Scene by scene breakdown  •1:47:00 - Modern day ratings —————————————————————— **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.

This movie really needs no introduction and it's a wonder why we waited so long to do it. Is it a Thanksgiving movie? No. But are you going to be using a blade to cut your turkey soon? Ehh? Ehhhh?!?! Coincidence or not- this movie taught us to avoid "Blood Raves". That sunscreen and motorcycle helmets protect vampires from exploding and that Wesley Snipes is the ultimate bad-ass.

This is a re-airing from November 24, 2021. The definitive Thanksgiving movie, right?? The travel, the trouble, the good the bad, and laughably maddening scenarios that can only come from the mind of John Hughes. With two comedic giants at the forefront, does this buddy-travel movie hold up and speak through generational lapses? What’s Neal’s wife’s problem? What’s in Del’s trunk?? How many f**ks does it take to f**k yourself? All this and more while we break down Planes, Trains, and automobiles. •0:00:00-  Introductions/Reviews/Chats •0:05:45- Pertinent movie details  •0:09:15- Memories of first viewing  •0:13:00  - Critical and fan reviews •0:21:00 - Scene by scene breakdown  •1:20:15- Modern day ratings —————————————————————— Learn more about your ad choices.

How is it possible to give us a more-hatable emperor than Commodus? We dive into our experience with this new movie! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On the verge of Gladiator 2 hitting theaters, we decided that it was finally time to review one of the most beloved movies of the last 25 years. This movie is in fact so loved that it is the #35 highest rated movie on IMDB. It won 5 Oscars and is the fourth highest-grossing film worldwide to win the Academy Award for Best Picture. Join us as we dissect 2000’s Gladiator with a modern eye.   •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:03:00 - Memories of first viewing •0:06:30 - Pertinent movie details  •0:12:00- Critical and fan reviews •0:22:00 - Scene by scene breakdown  •1:45:00 - Modern day ratings —————————————————————— **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.

There aren’t many true ‘Thanksgiving-themed’ movies that have been made. Especially when compared to other holidays like Christmas and Halloween. Sure there are the classics like ‘Planes, Trains and Automobiles’ and ‘Son in Law’ but alot of people like to add the movie ‘Dutch’ to the list of Turkey day film lists.  So we decided to give it a go. Spoilers…. it wasn’t as good as people made it out to be. This one might get a little rough. Buckle up. —————————————————————— **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.

Spoilers- This was an "I've Never Seen" for us, so I'm guessing many of you have not seen it as well. The Player is one of those movies that flew under the radar but deserves a watch. It was nominated for 3 Oscars and has more Oscar-winning actors and actresses in the cast than any other movie in history. The player also holds the record for most cameos in any movie in history.  Come on and listen as we dissect it with a modern eye! •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:03:15 - Memories of first viewing •0:06:30 - Pertinent movie details  •0:09:45- Critical and fan reviews •0:18:30 - Scene by scene breakdown  •1:41:00 - Modern day ratings —————————————————————— SPONSORS: **** HelloFresh- Get 10 FREE meals at http://HelloFresh.com/freeconfusedbreakfast - - Applied across 7 boxes, new subscribers only, varies by plan. —————————————————————— **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.
