Batman

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.

The Electric Grandmother

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 her finger and then age kids with a single hug. Let's be gentle with her, huh? And let's never talk about this terrifying film again - it's 1982's The Electric Grandmother.

The Color of Money

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 tell us if we are wrong. It happens a lot. Ladies and gents, it's the 1986 Martin Scorsese film The Color of Money.

Summer School

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.

Teen Wolf

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.

Jumpin' Jack Flash

It's a gas, gas, gas? Well, I never... 
Whoopi deserved so much more with this film, but here we are, huh? It's 1986's cyber thriller/comedy Jumpin' Jack Flash. Tune in as we decode the madness, dive into the fabulous fashion, and ask the real question: did anyone actually understand that plot—or were we all just vibing with Whoopi?

Sleeping With the Enemy

This week on Confidently Controversial, we take off our shoes, grab our trowels and head to the ocean to watch 1991's Sleeping With the Enemy, a film that gave many of us our first brush with domestic violence, obsessive compulsive disorder, and Van Morrison. Tune in as we unpack the ups and downs of this movie, while also trying to determine if that neighbor guy was hot or not.

Honey, I Shrunk the Kids

Full disclosure, this ep happens over the course of two days because we get tired and silly real easily and it was late and we just couldn't handle it. That being said, join us as we watch a Disney staple from our youth that explores the treachery of being small in a great big world, the idea that our parents are just people, too, and the joyful concept that everyone adds value in their own way. Even you. Yes, you. It's 1989's Honey I Shrunk the Kids.

The Running Man

The Running Man is a popular hip-hop move, widely believed to have originated in the late 1980s in Oakland, California. It was popularized by award-winning rapper, dancer, entrepreneur, and occasional actor MC Hammer. Jk...I truly wish I could tell you that we are discussing one of the true highlights of the 1980’s -  the amazing dance called the running man, howmever, our moves and grooves podcast has yet to make it to air, so I guess we’ll chat about the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie instead… Connies, it’s 1987’s The Running Man!
