Confidently Controversial

Teen Witch

Sure, ghosts, ghouls, and dead things are terrifying, but to know absolute horror you must simply watch the rap battle scene in 1989’s mystifyingly wonderful Teen Witch. This Tweed Family fave does not have strong acting or a complete plot line, but what it lacks in quality is made up for in cringiness, iconic 80s fashion, and a little brother acting real gross. Robyn Lively, Dean Gauthier, and Zelda Rubenstein star in this Halloween cult classic that will truly change your life. Don’t believe me? Ask Ryan Reynolds.

Poltergeist

Well, here it is guys, the movie that truly scarred one of your hosts irrevocably for all of time – Poltergeist! We couldn’t traverse the confidently controversial landscape of spooky season without watching this 1982 film that haunts Emily almost daily. Starring our forever coach Craig T. Nelson, snappy dresser in the face of fear JoBeth Williams, America’s psychic Zelda Rubenstein, and of course the most iconic horror movie kid on the planet Heather O’Rourke this movie will have you checking your pool with dry bones, researching clown dolls on eBay, and questioning your husband’s abilities in a crisis.

Pet Sematary

Sometimes dead is better, but it is especially best when you take it upon yourself to bury your pets, children and significant others in a mystical native american burial ground that your weird neighbor told you about. In our first spooky Halloween episode of Confidently Controversial, we're watching 1989's Pet Sematary. It's a Steven King classic that guarantees you'll never leave your achilles unattended ever again.

The Last Starfighter

It’s not Star Wars! While you may be confused by the similarity of many of the space creatures, this movie is not a star war. It’s 1984’s The Last Starfighter starring Lance Guest, Catherine Mary Stewart and ol’ jazz hands Robert Preston. Join your Confidently Controversial hosts as they day dream about being so special that they are whisked away to share their talents in space or somewhere much cooler, like the writing room at SNL.

”Fame”

This episode of Confidently Controversial turned out much like the movie we watched this week - a little all over the place, full of weird comments, and with us blocking traffic. It's 1980's Fame! Join us as we explore life at a NYC dramatic high school, where the kids sing, dance, play music, and do whatever it was that Montgomery and Doris were up to. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll live forever. Fame!

Rain Man

Hot tip for anyone trying to get away with something - don't twin with your partner in crime. It, um, draws attention, looks weird, isn't necessary, costs a lot... Do I need to go on? On this week's episode of Confidently Controversial, Emily and Kim watch 1988's Rain Man featuring Dustin Hoffman and a very angry Tom Cruise. Certainly groundbreaking for its time, this movie introduced much of the world to Autism and garnered award noms for its leads, but leans controversial by today's standards.

Desperately Seeking Susan

Turns out choosing a movie based solely on watching the associated music video doesn't work out very well. This week we watch 1985's Desperately Seeking Susan starring Madonna, Rosanna Arquette, Aidan Quinn, Mark Blum and Laurie Metcalf. While the movie isn't the best, the fashion sure is... bring back the bedazzled fold down bootie! After you listen to this week's episode be sure to watch Madonna's Into the Groove video, which basically tells you the whole story, only quicker and with less foolishness.

The Peanut Butter Solution

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.

Weekend at Bernie’s

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.
