Confidently Controversial
Growing up in the 80’s was super weird. Together we will rewatch movies that made us laugh, made us cry, and made us make poor choices with boys, friends, and life in general.

Isn't peanut butter always the solution to life's problems? Maybe, but it might also give you luxurious locks and pubes that just cannot be contained by your pants. This week Emily and Kim watch 1985's The Peanut Butter Solution and boy oh boy, you do not want to miss this one. If the hair thing hasn't made you curious, maybe the ghosts, bad parenting, weird older sister or god awful paintings about birds and tennis will grab ya.

Who knew? A movie about two men dragging a dead guy around for the weekend isn't for everyone. On this week's episode of Confidently Controversial, Kim breaks Emily's streak and makes her watch 1989's Weekend at Bernie's. Starring Andrew McCarthy, Jonathan Silverman, and Terry Kiser this classic film makes Kim laugh a lot and causes Emily to question her closest friendship.

If you think you know what to expect from 1982's Secret of NIMH you surely have no idea. NIMH, an acronym for National Institute of Mental Health, is not some far off fantasy land, but a place where animals were tested and rats were TAUGHT HOW TO READ... This animated Don Bluth classic features poor, sad Mrs. Frisby who everyone treats like crap as she attempts to save the life of her sick child, meets a clumsy crow called Jeremy, and hooks up with a rat with BDE. Listen as we explore this frantic tale of adventure, magic(?), and more.

Two people brought together by chance who ended up becoming besties... sound familiar? Yes, I am talking about Emily and me, but also about the two Coreys - the focus of this week's Confidently Controversial podcast.
Corey Feldman and Corey Haim were a hallmark of the 80s appearing in 9 films together in their careers and countless shows, commercials, and films individually. As teen heartthrobs they caused a stir, but the pair were marked by fame and rife with controversy as they settled into adulthood. Tune in to learn more about this dynamic duo and one the movies they made: 1988's License to Drive.

So, Eddie in the Cruisers is a movie about a band that sings songs that you probably thought were by Bruce Springsteen. The End.
Ok, ok, ok, on this week’s episode of Confidently Controversial Emily shares one of her family faves, 1983’s Eddie and the Cruisers. Starring bad lip syncer Michael Pare, hotsy totsy Tom Berenger, cranky Ellen Barkin, and David Silver’s dad Matthew Laurance, this is a film where not too much happens, but it takes a long time to do so. Swing by to see if you can solve the mystery of what the heck happened to Eddie. Where is he? Who is he with? Is he thinking of me?

It would be "so cool" if you listened to this week's episode of Confidently Controversial when we discuss 1987's Adventures in Babysitting starring Elizabeth Shue, Keith Coogan, Anthony Rapp and a very blonde, very buff Vincent D'Onofrio. Stop by to see how this adventure comedy holds up and if the stress of a child hanging off a skyscraper pushes us over the edge. Ya think?

Well, this one started out normally, but quickly went off the rails - why? Because we just liked this movie so damn much! (And also, it might have been past our bedtime). Join us we watch One Crazy Summer, the 1986 film starring John Cusack and the sensational Bobcat Goldthwait. Oh and sorry for the stuff we said in this episode - we love you all so much.

Delightful children's movie or straight up horror flick? You decide on today's episode of Confidently Controversial when Emily and Kim take a look at the 1988 classic Big staring Tom Hanks and Elizabeth Perkins. Did we cry? Maybe just a little. A lot happens when you turn big and some of it is super scary. Join us to watch - we'll be eating baby corns and sobbing in our NYC motel room.

We never claimed to be good at math, but something doesn't add up in this week's episode of Confidently Controversial when we take on Pretty Woman. This fairytale of a film was released in 1990 and stars Julia Roberts as the messy, but sweet sex worker Vivian Ward as she falls for the rich dude with daddy issues, Edward Lewis, played by Richard Gere. Join us as we say who, we say when, and we say how much of this movie you should watch, but please don't try to kiss us on the mouth.
