The Confused Breakfast

Is Joe Dirt (2001) secretly one of the greatest comedies of its era, or is nostalgia doing some serious heavy lifting? This week, we're digging into David Spade's mullet-wearing cult classic and asking the important questions. Is Joe Dirt just a white-trash Forrest Gump? Was Kid Rock actually good in this movie? Why do women find Joe Dirt so irresistible? We debate the movie's surprisingly heartfelt message, its endlessly quotable dialogue, and why critics absolutely hated something audiences still love 25 years later. Life's a garden. Dig it.

This week, we're joined by David Wain, the writer, director, and comedic mastermind behind Wet Hot American Summer, Role Models, and Wanderlust! David takes us behind the scenes of some of our favorite comedies, revealing how Wet Hot American Summer went from a box-office flop to a beloved cult classic and why Hollywood seemingly stopped making the outrageous comedies we grew up loving. We also dive into his hilarious new movie, Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass, his success with the Middle Aged Dad Jam Band, and the absurd sense of humor that's made his movies endlessly rewatchable.

We're heading to Japan to revisit 2006's The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift! Is this secretly one of the best movies in the franchise? How good is this soundtrack? Why does the main character look like a 40-year-old high school student? Is Bow Wow's character actually an imaginary friend? Is Han the coolest character in the entire franchise? We touch on all of this and more in front of a live studio audience. Buckle up, crank up the Kid Rock, and get ready to drift through one of the most ridiculous entries in the Fast & Furious universe!

Sometimes there is just no need for a followup movie to a classic. But they do it anyways. And they usually mess it up. Each of the boys drops 5 terrible movie sequels in today's discussion

We're wrapping up spooky season with Zack Snyder's 2004 zombie remake, Dawn of the Dead! Is this one of the greatest opening sequences in horror movie history? Are fast zombies actually scarier, or do we miss the slow-moving undead? Was CJ secretly the smartest person in the entire mall? And how many unbelievably stupid decisions can one group of survivors make before we completely lose our minds? Join us as we revisit the terrifying zombie effects, the unforgettable Johnny Cash opening, the bizarre obsession with saving Chips the dog, and an ending that leaves us with plenty to argue about.
