    The Best Movie Review Podcast
    I just recently discovered this podcast a couple months ago. I’m about 30 episodes in so far and just having a blast listening to all the childhood classics. It’s funny and entertaining. It’s fun to hear all the deep drive fun facts that you never knew. But mostly, it completely destroys how you thought movies were when you were growing up (in a funny way). Only complaint so far going through the catalog: You guys harsh on the PC and woke culture from movies made 20-30 years ago. Come on. Ha. We already know things are dated. No need to defend yourself for what you watched from an Adam Sandler movie back in the day. But overall, thank you for making this Podcast. I’m hooked on listen to your movie reviews and breakdowns. I’ve been telling a bunch of friends to try this Podcast out.

    Great show
    Needs: Cabin boy Dirty work Screwed Braveheart. Just finished surf ninjas and all I want to do is show it to my kids. Thank you for mindlessness in the mess of a world we are in.

    Sad bassist
    Every time they make fun of cover bands I hide in the corner and cry for hours. Other then that… 5 star. Would do again.

    Trash
    They can’t stop cracking stale jokes to save their lives. They’re here to amuse themselves not entertain you.

    Replacements
    Phyxius ( putting to flight) meaning to leave or run away… like Falco did. Do your research Also it’s hard to hear your sports takes because you don’t love sports. Think it took away from this movie review from you guys.. also need to shorten the bits, start funny but go to long. Especially AJ and his stupid laugh.
  • TomChan87
    Decent show
    The concept is really solid and I love how they deep dive into movies, but the hosts are sometimes borderline insufferable. It feels like you’re listening to a cheap morning radio show about 30% of each episode because of their style of humor and the way they communicate with each other and the audience.

    Nostalgia
    I love the nostalgia these friends bring and it makes me miss Blockbuster!
  • Ainslovey
    Where has this pod been my whole life?
    I think I accidentally stumbled upon this podcast (possibly on TikTok?) but any podcast that reviews my favorite movie of all time (Stand By Me) I’m immediately a fan. I find comfort in so many of these episodes. I can’t get enough! I’m so glad I found this!
  • Ramon707
    Epic podcast
    My sister in law gave me the heads up on your guys podcast and I’ve been binge listening to you guys ever since. You’ve guys have done so many of my favorite movies and I enjoy listening to you guys. I’ve been searching for a great podcast that does what you guys do and you guys haven’t disappointed. Keep it up and I look forward to listening to future episodes.

    Awesome Movie Podcast
    This is one of the best (or THE best) movie review podcasts. It has it all: great choice of movies, humor, fun facts, good analysis of the movie and its stars, and even a bit of those-were-the-days nostalgic memories of the times the movies were released. Best of all, they do summaries of each part of the movie before the analysis so you don’t have to re-watch the movie (which you may have last seen 10-20 years ago) to know what is going on. Good job guys—keep it up!

    Great podcast
    Love the podcast. It’s funny and informative. Just listened to the pcu brunch episode.I’m sure it’s been said by others, but Jeremy piven was the lead in “the goods: love hard sell hard”. Hilarious movie with an awesome cast: ving rhames, Craig Robinson, David Kochner, Ed helms, will Farrell, rob riggle, ken jeong, Kathryn Hahn, etc

    Best part of my morning
    I came upon this podcast after listening to the Brotherly Love podcast and I’ve been obsessed ever since. I listen to it every morning when driving to work. I love all the movies being reviewed because it takes me back to my childhood. Well done guys! Keep it going! :)
  • Greg Booyah
    Fantastic Show
    I stumbled upon this show looking for podcasts based on Dumb And Dumber and I couldn’t have found a funnier pop culture nostalgia show. These guys have mirrored my sense of humor to a T and I look forward to every new episode.
  • deshaned
    Great choice!
    Been listening for a few months now. Only listen to episodes right after watching/rewatching that particular movie. For the most part, I only watch movies that have an episode done about them. However, I was literally gonna watch Role Models today just because it’s hilarious. And you guys go and drop the episode on Role Models. Love it!
  • ThisbeTroy
    Can’t get enough!
    Awesome podcast! It feels like I’m chilling on the couch with friends, talking about our favorite movies every time I listen! Keep up the great stuff! Been listening since episode 1! The most recent episode on St. Elmo’s Fire had me laughing so much! Thank you guys for all the laughs
  • JustListening.00
    It’s okay to laugh, just get on with it
    Honestly the constant laughing at their own jokes didn’t used to bother me until they started mentioning people don’t like it. Now they double down on it and spend even more time making that dumb voice they use to imitate reviewers, and laugh at their own jokes, then continue to talk about how people don’t like when they do that, then do the dumb voice again. Its okay to be loose and have a laugh, but now they talk about it way too much about that and they often lose me before the podcast gets into anything of substance. It’s almost like it’s own segment on the show “Let’s laugh about how people don’t like that we laugh and then let’s imitate them in this dumb voice”. Maybe time stamp where that is so the rest of us can skip it?
  • Russ Sully
    These guys are awesome
    I’m a newer fan. Found you guys from the clips on tik tok and was hooked. I’ve been going back and listening to each episode one by one and it’s been great. You guys are just doing it the right way. Keep it up, I’m gonna keep listening. Gotta go listen to the Pete and Pete episode now. Later. Update - still a huge fan feels like I wrote this review a long long time ago. Just listened to the scream episode and these boys get better and better. Wish I could give it 6 stars.
  • Uberveej
    Love these scary movie eps
    Great episode today! (Blair Witch) So excited for Scream, thank you AJ for embracing the spooky!
  • Hawkfan432

    Worth every minute
    I love everything about this podcast.
  • Deidre701
    This Podcast is everything I’ve been looking for!
    Came across a TikTok of “The Confused Breakfast” in March of 2023. As of today I am basically caught up with their catalog of podcasts. At my job I’m constantly driving around, so I am always listening to their podcast. I get home from work around 3pm I usually pour myself a glass of bourbon (which I started drinking because they made it sound so good…which it really is!) I then put on the movies that they talked about on the podcasts I was able to listen to throughout and just binge them. I’ve always been very into movies but a lot of 80s movies fell through the cracks so this has been just a very fun ride. I highly recommend these guys! Thanks boys!!!

    Nostalgia at its peak
    You guys are awesome! I stumbled upon your podcast from tiktok and love your reviews The explanations , theories, and “I never realized“ moments. It makes me feel exactly how I felt of my favorite movies growing up and rewatching them in my adult years. as a good and nostalgia feelings it puts a smile on my face first thing in the morning on my way to work. You guys have also helped me to discover a lot of 70-90s movies I’ve. Ever seen that I watch for the first time thanks to your episodes. I’m military stationed overseas in Korea and you have made my drives to work so enjoyable and I look forward to every new episode that releases Keep it up guys P.S. if you could do one of my favorite movies as a kid “Small Soldiers” you’d make a very very happy fan
  • WesGtaz
    Cynical Breakfast
    These guys don’t seem old enough to review many of these movies. They’re also very nitpicky and cynical about the dumbest, minute things. I’m also over the forced laughter podcast trope. Not every joke is the funniest thing you’ve ever heard.
  • doctor of radio
    “Uh oh social commentary” “80/100” any one following my math?
    So… everything about this pod is great - especially the topics & conversations. The production is top notch. The structure flows nicely and the extra episodes revolving around side topics besides “cinema” are well thought and researched which is a +. In fact, one might say they are almost better because talking about movies does get a little stale every now and then. The breakup is necessary, and I’m glad to see more brunch (mini bytes) coming back. Lastly, I get the social commentary that comes up every now and then, but only addressing from one side of the aisle and believing that side of the aisle is always correct is not good political commentary at all. 80/100 or 3/5.

    Unlocked a memory
    I just found your podcast and am staring from the beginning and the references to Adventureland Video and the warehouse mini golf course and arcade was the best place in MP!! Keep Up the great Work guys

    The Price Is Right
    Hey guys I’m a new listener to your podcast, and I’m not sure if you found this or not, but Vanna White was a contestant in 1980!
  • Ghakshe
    Hey hey, Ho Ho, This Penis Party’s got to go!
    Just discovered the pod and listened to the PCU and Over the Top podcasts. Exciting back catalog! Thanks for a fun nostalgia machine to get me through the doldrum of adult chores. The pod makes me feel like giving you something deep inside me through Mike Hawke.
  • hector and oats
    Great content
    Movies are well researched, sounds like everyone’s having fun. Getting tired of the cedar ridge plugs, also someone’s voice is cracking CONSTANTLTY. Other than that, great listen.
  • Makutatisayut
    You’re the inspiration!
    Single-handedly motivated my friends and I to take the plunge into the podcast world. Thank you guys for being major motivation for what a podcast with passionate friends who just enjoy each others company can be!

    This show has me cry laughing emoji every episode
    My cousin in-law hosts the Scotch and Splenda podcast, but honestly I don’t love The Office enough to listen to a podcast about it. However he also told me about this show and I have loved every minute of it. It’s right up my lost highway. Please do a Brunch episode about The Final Season, I finally got around to watching that train wreck on Prime last night. They somehow found some decent B-list actors to star in it, spouting out some of the lamest sports platitudes on film. Wikipedia says that movie only grossed $1.1mil at the box office but doesn’t say what the production cost. It must have cost $10mil to produce, (not including the $2mil helicopter they crashed). I need you guys to investigate this one because it must have been one of the biggest box office flops of all time. #PostedOnTheSouthEastSide
  • Tenacious Deek
    Are you not entertained?!
    The nostalgia Mike, Sean, and AJ provide throughout the show makes me want to instantly rewatch these movies I grew up with. As a child of the 80’s the days of Blockbuster were the absolute best. The way they review the movie from what they remember as kids compared to the rewatch is an excellent feature of the podcast. Keep up the good work fellas! P.S. AJ’s impersonation of Beetlejuice’s Michael Keaton had me rolling.

    Story about discovering your podcast and teen Wolf the movie
    Outstanding great to listen 5 stars. Wonderful, nostalgia trip, I just discovered this podcast a couple weeks ago. My name is Sir William from Georgia. I love the fact that it’s just three friends talking about movies. I even called the Voicemail line I jumped into the podcast with the movie airborne. After that, I went to the movie teen Wolf, which is a favorite of my childhood ironically, this past weekend at a convention a chance meeting I had an opportunity to meet the widow of the dad from teen wolf. We had a wonderful discussion she was absolutely delightful, and she told me some behind-the-scenes stories and we actually got to talking about the confused breakfast podcast. And I was telling her how I just discovered it and listen to the teen wolf episode wonderful experience made a little bit more fun bye able to discuss the podcast. Look forward to listening to all of the great shows including the mini bites about pop-culture this is an outstanding podcast for anybody that grew up in the 80s, 90s and early 2000’s
  • Bflow
    Love it!
    Where are the parents?!?? Please make coozies!!! I need a Steve Koozer and Mitchell Goosen coozie!
  • RVos400
    These dudes are hilarious!
    As stated hilarious. As important as that is they are really good at what they do. Their reviews are thorough, and they try to cut through the nostalgia and see if the movie holds up. They do extensive background into the making of, the actors that could of been, and all the crazy stories that led to the movies of my childhood. Amazing show, and a bright spot in my day. My 13 year old son and I do wish they weren’t such wusses when it comes to horror movie.
  • Aaddaammm
    Came for the witty banter and sensible reviews
    Stayed for THE TOMATOMETER
  • Yellow dinosaur
    Love the show
    Keep up the great work 👍
  • Fix please!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Love it!
    I listen to several podcasts about movies, and I just found this one about 2 months ago. It has quickly become one of my favorites. Give it 5 stars everybody, these guys deserve it!
  • db_adv
    Review for the ages.
    I hate these guys so much.
  • Mrbloonhandz
    They told me to leave 5 stars
    They told me to leave 5 stars, so I did. (In all seriousness, I listen every single week, I love these guys, they earned the 5 stars for sure)
  • Dally the Bear
    10/10
    I absolutely love this show. I love hearing the nostalgia ratings and then comparing that to a modern rewatch (sorry Blank Check). The scene by scene discussion pulls me directly into the room with the boys and feels like just another night of talking through old (and new) favorites with my buddies. I can’t overstate how amazing it is rediscovering forgotten movies I loved (TNMT) rethinking childish movies that don’t hold up (hiyah!) and being pointed to old movies I missed (True Romance). This show is great sitting at my desk, riding my bike, or just screwing off around the house. Thanks boys, keep ‘em coming. Oh and please review Breaking Away before the big ride this summer.
  • Wren F.
    Great for the Work Commute!
    I just recently started listening to the show on my way to work, and I am really enjoying it. I grew up in the 90s, so I love how nostalgic it is to revisit these movies. Some future movie suggestions: Little Monsters (1989), Drop Dead Fred (1991), Willow (1988), My Cousin Vinny (1992), Adventures in Babysitting (1987), The Addams Family Values (1993), Dream Team (1989), Night Shift (1982), and to encourage your love for Rick Moranis even more, Strange Brew (1983) and Little Giants (1994).

    Great movie podcast
    Great podcast if you’re a movie lover especially from the 90s/2000s. Wanna watch a movie but don’t have the time? Listen to the episode they sum them up perfectly!
  • CourtRainacorn
    WARNING: SPOILERS… this is a great show
    If you’re a movie lover, you’ve come to the right place. I started listening to the Confused Breakfast boys almost two years ago, and now every week when a new episode drops I feel like I’m getting a chance to pop in with my friends to discuss another film favorite or talk about a movie I’ve never seen before. I don’t think any other podcast has made me laugh as hard as this one - it’s always a good time and always engaging. If this were a movie listing on IMDb I’d give this show a 10/10 EVERY. TIME.
  • lvlivingston
    hehe LOVE YALL
    Found these guys accidentally, and I’m so glad I did. I usually listen to an episode on my afternoon walks, and I love laughing with them as I decompress from work. SssSSssssSsppAAllLlLlllLlLLLLTttttTTtTt 100%🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅 10/10
  • Chris F! :)
    Fun but …
    I’m gay. You guys ever think you could have queer/gay fans? Can you please NOT use a condescending gay “fem” mocking voice when imitating or mocking someone you don’t like or agree with? It’s happened several times while listening and it’s getting annoying. Grow up. Thanks.
  • Primal sin
    1967 guy
    One thing I will say is I sure do feel old at times listening to this pod cast Great reviews on movies from my youth. I’m surprised you have not done field of dreams, being from Iowa .I also live in north east IA and work in AG So theirs times I’m out all night feeding hogs while catching up on some old memories. Great job guys Cheers (of coarse with Cedar Ridge)
  • Turdhearder123
    Great Pod with the occasional audacity
    Just finished the Clue episode. How on earth did y’all make it this far without seeing this?!?! This was a fun one to listen to. I have seen this movie probably 50+ times and enjoyed hearing the reactions. Overall I find this pod refreshingly honest in their opinions. And they all seem to get along well. Very easy to listen to.
  • Joe_Thom
    New listener love the pod.
    You guys are great, I listen to an episode and rewatch that movie I have seen 100 times just so I can relive all the fun commentary you guys bring up. I never get tired of these classic movies and quoting/talking about them. I find myself shaking my head in agreement when you guys talk about movies and laugh at the the very small jokes or details in them. Thanks for the hard work and time you put into this I will now be a weekly listener! If you guys like Jeff Daniel’s have you ever seen Escanaba in da Moonlight? It cracks me up being from Michigan maybe not the best movie but there are some hilarious scenes and quotes.
  • ChadMiracle
    Best Podcast Ever
    I love this podcast! Found you guys on TikTok and I’ve been a fan since the first word. I’ve found myself thinking… I should really watch this movie again while in the middle of an episode but I honestly like listening to you guys talk about it more than I like watching some of these movies! You’ve got yourself another patron! Great show and I look forward to every episode.
