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.

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, it's got not one, but two Coreys, and best of all it's got the inexplicably not more famous, but super lovely Jason Patrick. 
You're gonna love it, Michael.

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 for clues and share it with your friends just to be sure.
Anyway, hi! We're back and we're kicking off this season with our spoOoKy Halloween episodes. First up, it's 1984's Nightmare on Elm Street. A movie where we see Johnny Depp debut his incredible dimples, French kiss a telephone, and brush up on our dream skills. You'll love it.

We love Lloyd Dobler and we will not be listening to any arguments to the contrary, so please step away from the microphone.  On this week's episode of Confidently Controversial we're watching 1989's Cameron Crowe classic, Say Anything and it's lovely. Sure, the dad's a real creep, but what can you do? No more questions.

Oklahoma, Oklahoma, Oklahoma. Okay guys, we think this one holds up, but keep in mind we are small-minded children who love a good bout of physical comedy even when slightly questionable and possibly offensive. This week we are watching the 1988 comedy, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. Steve Martin, Michael Caine, good times.

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 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.

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.
