Show Notes
Today’s brand new episode is a full review of 1985’s After Hours. It’s quite possible that you have never heard of this movie, but before you dismiss it, listen to this- Directed by Scorsese. Starring Catherine O’Hora, Rosanna Arquette, John Heard, Cheech and Chong, Bronson Pinchot, Dick Miller and more. It could be described as having the anxiety of the original Uncut Gems. It’s fun and we think you will like it.

**This is a re-airing of an episode that we recorded in October of 2023. Simply to help enhance your enjoyment of the season.
This week, we're revisiting 28 Days Later (2002), the movie that helped reinvent the zombie genre and made running zombies everyone's worst nightmare. Why does this movie look like it was filmed on a flip phone? Could the entire outbreak have been prevented if the scientist hadn't called the virus "rage"? And is this one of the scariest opening sequences in horror history? We're breaking down the terrifying moments, questionable decisions, bizarre filmmaking choices, and whether this low-budget horror classic still holds up over 20 years later.
It's a special Halloween double feature as the guys revisit Hocus Pocus, the very first movie they ever reviewed on The Confused Breakfast, and pair it with Disney's Halloweentown (1998)! They break down the bizarre obsession with virgins in Hocus Pocus, the ridiculous rules surrounding the Sanderson sisters' resurrection, and why the three witches are still so iconic. Then it's off to Halloweentown, where the guys debate whether nostalgia is the only thing keeping this Disney Channel classic alive, question the town's bizarre residents, and roast its questionable special effects. Plus, plenty of hilarious tangents about Halloween traditions, childhood fears, and whether living in a town where it's Halloween every single day would actually be a nightmare.

This week on The Confused Breakfast, we're heading back to 1998 to revisit the star-studded sci-fi horror classic, The Faculty! Does this movie actually have one of the greatest casts of the '90s? What the hell is going on with Josh Hartnett's haircut? Is Elijah Wood the most uncoordinated runner in movie history? Why does becoming an alien automatically make everyone hotter? And could an alien invasion actually IMPROVE your lives?
After a live podcast recording of The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift in Cedar Rapids, IA (dropping in November), we decided to involve the audience and drop a single elimination tournament bracket. We were trying to find out what iconic movie car would be the one that we would want to take home with us and drive around town. Maybe pick the kids up from school in it, take it tailgating, go on a date in. Join us as we narrow the field down until one car wins the whole thing!
