Best in Show (2000)

Three Amigos! (1986)

One for each other and all for one! The brave Confused Breakfast are we! Three Amigos gave us the dynamic duo of Steve-Martin-Short. Did this give us the best Chevy Chase as a 3rd wheel performance?

Iron Eagle (1986)

Picture this- your dad is captured by a fake country. You have never flown an F-16 by yourself before. Using a rag-tag group of friends, all under the age of 18, you figure out how to rescue him on your own, while demonstrating how vulnerable US Air Force bases are and committing serious war crimes deserving of jail time in multiple countries. None of it possible without the cassette player strapped to your knee blasting "One Vision" by Queen. It's something only 80s kids can believe. •0:00:00 -...

If you have been following this show for awhile, you know our history with The Boondock Saints. We reviewed the first one and mostly still loved it as much as we did nostalgically. But our history with Boondock Saints 2: All Saints Day is much darker. What can largely be viewed as one of the worst sequels ever, Mike and Sean sentenced it to some jail-time in our “On-trial” episode. It’s out and we figured it was time to talk about it again.

The Holiday is one of the rare gems. It's love at first sight for Rom-Com fans but the talent and story is something that everyone can get behind. This movie is what every single modern-day Hallmark movies wishes it could be. How did Amanda find the strength to get over such tragedy? Was all of this just an elaborate setup by Graham and Iris?
