  • So many memories

    I am a little late to listening to podcasts, but found The Confused Breakfast by accident. I started from the beginning and I am currently listening to The Legend of Billie Jean. I grew up watching this movie in a rotation with Dirty Dancing and Satisfaction!

    I love hearing your takes on how the movies progress and how much you all love so many of the actors that we have lost throughout the years!

    Thanks so much for the laughs, it helps me get through my day while at work!

  • FINALLY A GOOD MOVIE PODCAST

    As a movie obsessed teenager, I often hyper fixate on movies and want to learn more about them. Unfortunately, most movie podcasts are a bunch of 1.sticks in the mud who hate genuinely good movies and are just probably depressed or 2. Can’t go 5 seconds without reminding you of their crazy political ideas. (I’m not joking. I once listened to a podcast where instead of talking about the little mermaid, they talked about how much they hate the police) I love how much fun these guys have with stuff... more

  • Unlistenable

    Absolutely unlistenable. Incessantly laughing and cackling at their own jokes throughout. Can’t get past it. “Roy SCHNEIDER ???”, repeatedly throughout. For god sakes at least know the material you’re discussing. I had downloaded five podcasts, but couldn’t complete one. C’mon guys.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

National Lampoon's Vacation (1983)
Q: What makes this movie memorable for you as a kid versus as an adult?
As kids, the disasters and nonstop road-trip chaos were the draw, but as adults, the focus shifts to Clark's trying to give his family a meaningful vacation and the honesty of family dynamics.
BRUNCH: Dumb and Dumber with KFCbarstool
Q: As we really dive into this, who is the dumber one, Lloyd or Harry, and why does that dynamic work so well?
They agree Lloyd (Jim Carrey) often comes off as the more outrageous, but both characters' chemistry and timing carry the film, with moments where Harry's reactions actually reveal surprising cleverness.
Interviewing Ernie Reyes Jr (Surf Ninjas, TMNT 2: Secret of the Ooze)
Q: What inspired you to push for a vision that blended martial arts with hip hop and video games?
I wanted to create action films that felt authentic and true to my teenage world—martial arts, skate culture, gaming, and music. That unapologetic combination became Surf Ninjas and shaped my future projects, including pursuing ownership and creative control.
BRUNCH: Movies From Sundance Film Festival 2026
Q: How do the host's experiences vary when watching the films at Sundance in person versus online?
While in-person viewing allows for a more immersive experience, they still enjoyed the online accessibility and the opportunity for Q&As after screenings.
BRUNCH: Movies From Sundance Film Festival 2026
Q: What is the significance of the Sundance Film Festival this year?
It was notable for various reasons including the legacy of founder Robert Redford, the transition of the festival location, and the number of exciting independent films showcased.
