Confidently Controversial

Guys, I feel like we don't say this very often on this podcast, but you know what? In the spirit of the holiday season, we are going to do it today. By golly, we love this movie so so so so so so so much. You'll be able to detect our affinity for it by all the crying we do in the second half of the episode. It's just wonderful and sometimes you need that, you know? Life is kinda hard, and the cold weather makes you sad, and the dar...

All you Rocky gals are going to be pumped for this week's episode! What? THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A ROCKY GIRL?!?! I mean, yeah obviously and yet, inexplicably, Emily brought Rocky IV to the podcast this week. We went ahead and watched it, but we don't have many nice things to say about the experience and we are ladies who love a good montage. I found it highly unbelievable that anyone on earth cares this much about boxing, Emily ...

Much like the sand we have in our jeans from wearing them to the beach, this movie made us very uncomfortable. In this episode, we dive into 1991's The Doors biopic - a chaotic swirl of psychedelics, Native American imagery, drug-fueled egos, and whatever Oliver Stone thought subtlety was, this film has everything and nothing all at once. We unpack Val Kilmer’s wild-eyed performance as Jim Morrison/Ron Burgandy, the film’s question...

gHoUls. GhOsTs. dRY bOnES. Happy Halloween and welcome to our final sPoOky episode of season 4! This week we are putting on our under-eye patches, sliding into our Spanx, and settling in to watch 1992's Death Becomes Her. And spoiler alert, guys. We loved it. A lot. Like, so much. I mean, you have to love a movie that boldly calls out America's obsession with looking and staying young a full 30 years before people are literally get...

Is it funny? Sure. Is it scary? Also, sure. But you wanna know what it is most of all? Kinda gross. The werewolf transformation is not something you want to get involved in. Your clothes are ruined. Your skin is busted. Your nails? Forget about it. And all the Hair, Skin and Nails in the world isn't going to fix your problem. Guys, we are watching 1981's An American Werewolf in London.

Grab your candlestick, we're going murdering! Blackmail, boobies, and (dead) bodies abound on this week's episode of Confidently Controversial 'cuz we're watching 1985's film based on a board game - CLUE! Watch with us as Professor Plum, Colonel Mustard, Ms. Scarlet and the rest of our dazzlingly hued suspects clamor around spilling puns, physical comedy, and revenge in their wake. 

What's that you say? An 80's teen drama, but they're vampires? AND they love Jim Morrison? AND the grandpa from Gilmore Girls is the head vamparino? ANNNNDDD this movie is somehow a homage to Peter Pan, and we only just realized it? Where do I send my money? 

Great news, friends - on this week's episode of Confidently Controversial we're watching 1987's The Lost Boys. It's got Keifer Sutherland, it's got Bill S. Preston, Esquire, i...

Well, would you look at that... season 4 of Confidently Controversial is back on the very same day that sweet baby angel Taylor Swift releases her new album. Many would say it is merely a coincidence, but true Swifties know that nothing in Tay's world happens by chance, and everything means something. What does this mean? Well, if you don't know then I certainly cannot help you, but you should probably listen to the whole episode f...

A buh buh buh buh buh buh - it's the last episode of season three, friends! Hop on board as we lovingly watch Kurt Russell build an incredible closet while wearing an equally incredible tank top in one of the best, possibly most confidently controversial movies of all time - it's 1987's Overboard. 

Catch up on all of season three by visiting our website - confidentlycontroversial.com See some fun stuff on Instagram @confidentlycont...

Everybody has a Batman and for us, Keaton is our man! Superhero movies were back in a big way when Tim Burton's caped crusader (Superman, Batman - they both have capes, leave me alone) and kinda weird, not properly therapized bat of a man came on the scene in 1989. Join us as we gather round to watch Jack Nicholson dance to Prince songs! It's the best.

Guys, I don't even know what to say. This movie is messed up in so many ways and I haven't even begun to comprehend it. I do know that I am going to have to be way nicer to Emily now. I mean she watched this as a kid. She was just a baby when she was faced with her mortality packaged in a sarcophagus and dropped off in her yard via helicopter. She was so small and likely freaked out as she watched this faux Grammy shoot milk from h...

I mean, I could make some sort of spicy comment about how the color of money may be green, but the color of our review for this movie is stinky brown, but we try to stay highbrow over here and I would never. Plus, you gotta keep it classy for Paul Newman as he was a kind-hearted soul who gave us some delicious dressings and sauces. Either way, we didn't really care for it and we felt like we were supposed to? I don't know. Please t...

Sometimes you just have to be delighted. You have to stop thinking you are cooler than everyone else and leave the negativity at the door and just enjoy a gosh darn movie. Yeah, we are talking to you, Ebert. You're not better than us... Guys, we are watching the 1987 solid gold film, Summer School, starring the truly talented and extremely handsome, Mr. Mark Harmon. You'll love it - we promise!

He's a teen. But, he is also a wolf. Guys, he's a teen wolf. And before you young folk get all excited, please know that this movie has no relationship to that sassy teen wolf nonsense that took place on MTV a few years ago. Nope, this is the real deal. The Mike Fox wolf. The OG, basketball playing, van surfing, bestie to Stiles wolf that won our hearts way back in 1985. If you can't handle it - look away.
