Confidently Controversial

Cocoon

Oh boy, guys... I have some great news for you. If you thought deeply buried psychological trauma wasn't a thing, this episode is here to prove otherwise. How do we know, you ask? Well, we watched 1985's old people go to space drama, Cocoon and Kim had a nervous breakdown on mic. You'll love it - we promise.

Back to the Beach

Somebody get me Annette! This week on the pod, we're going Back to the Beach to watch this quirky 1987 film starring Frankie Avalon, Annette Funicello and Lori Loughlin. It's campy, it's silly, it has Pee Wee Herman in it - what more do  you guys want?

The Great Outdoors

John Candy and Dan Aykroyd being silly in the woods with a big bald butted bear and some sassy-mouthed raccoons - this is all we needed in the 80s to be happy. What can I say? It was simpler time. Today on the pod we are watching 1988's The Great Outdoors - a fine, fine film and one we will happily fist fight the haters on. You've been warned.

Pump Up the Volume

Hey you guys... we're back, Con Connies! Greetings and salutations, friends - we've missed you so very much and greatly appreciate your patience while we took a much longer than anticipated break. Don't worry, in no way, shape or form did we get our shit together while we were off, so you can expect the same level of madness and procrastination you loved in season 1! This week we jump right in with 1990's Pump Up the Volume starring my one true love (don't tell my husband), Christian Slater. True to form, one of us absolutely hated this movie and it's high cringe factor, while the other only partially paid attention while she tried to come to terms with the fact that Christian Slater is only 5'9" and our spooning game would be weak at best. Either way, we are happy to see you and can't wait to spend season two with you!

Best of Con Con Season 1 - Flowers in the Attic

If you listen to this show you know that if there's one thing Kim and I hate, it's a bucket list. However, watching this movie together would have been on ours if we approved of such things.
Listen to us try to talk about a movie that makes no sense to anyone and probably shouldn't exist...but we are so glad it does. BONUS: You also get to hear us talk about another V.C. Andrews book a lot in this episode - My Sweet Audrina. We may actually talk more about that book than this movie, but who's counting? Not us. 
We are cooking up Season 2 and can't wait to share it with all of you!!
KIT, Emily 
 
 

Best of Con Con Season 1 - One Crazy Summer

Look, we are silly people. We laugh uncontrollably at the dumbest things. We spent a week cracking up about a meme that alluded to a toilet getting married. At the end of the day, we are basically 10 year old boys trapped in the bodies of wildly elegant and beautiful middle aged women.
All that being said, I think we held back a little on some of our early episodes and didn't fully let that red freak flag fly... until this episode. One Crazy Summer is a goofy movie, a goddamn delight and the film that helped us stop pretending to be normal and start acting like our weirdo selves. If you haven't listened yet, do yourselves a favor and give it a go. We talk about fart-related deaths, dog doctors, and other funny stuff - you'll love it. 
We will be back with season 2 real soon. In the meantime catch up with us on Instagram, TikTok and more - you know how to find us.
xo, Kim

Best of ConCon Season 1 - Steel Magnolias

Why do we love this episode? Is it because we learn about Emily's fears of confrontation at the post office? Maybe it's the deep dive we take into lawn skeletons? Or maybe it's because we are two ladies who keep our emotions locked down real tight and we need a movie like Steel Magnolias to feel. Probably the last one, but if you haven't heard this one or even if you have, you should tune in again for the joy, the tears, and the diabetes.

Pretty in Pink

Happy 50th episode, friends! Thanks for joining us in this thing called podcasting for over a year now - we are truly grateful. In our final episode of season 1, we are bringing Mr. James Spader back to the pod, this time in the role that gave women everywhere confusing feelings in their hearts, minds, and second-hand prom dresses. Join us as we posit that 1986's Pretty in Pink was never a love triangle, but in fact a square and truthfully, one where the wrong wig won in the end.

Project X

Ssssshock the Monkey with us as we explore the evils of animal testing and the scariness of chimpanzees with the 1987 film Project X. This movie has it all - Matthew Broderick,  Helen Hunt, sign language, chimpanzees addicted to cigarettes, actors doing animal sound voiceovers, the list goes on and on. Was this episode was worth the two week wait and the $16.99 to purchase the DVD on Amazon? You be the judge!

Rerun: Eddie and the Cruisers

It's a rerun! No new ep this week, but why not listen to an old fave with a new intro?
 
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?
