On today’s episode, we’re diving into a cult classic that redefined what it means to be weird, hilarious, and just downright absurd. A movie showing the world that Weird Al Yankovic should be protected at all costs. This movie showed us the greatest hotdog/twinkie combination of all time and taught us that broads don’t belong in braodcasting, that gun control is for wimps and commies, and that life is like a mop.

Jun 2, 2025 · 41 minBRUNCH: The Last of Us (Season 2 RECAP)
Almost 2 months ago, we released a brunch episode recapping the first 2 episodes of Season 2 of HBO’s The Last of Us. It was a trial of sorts, as we may dip our toes in TV series reviews in the future. Well, the problem with doing that episode was that we all obviously kept watching and badly wanted to recap the entire season with each other. HEAVY SPOILERS if you haven’t see all of Season 2. We return to regularly scheduled programming this Thursday with UHF and next Monday with a Brunch about famous movie curses. ————————————————— **Support us at http://patreon.com/confusedbreakfast for bonus weekly episodes, voting on upcoming movies, giving your modern-day ratings on our movies and much more. **Mail us something The Confused Breakfast PO Box 10016 Cedar Rapids, IA 52402-9802 Special thanks to our executive producers- Josh Miller, Starling, Michael Guiliano and NicMad.
