"What are you eating?"
"Donut stuffed with M&Ms. That way, when you finish your donut you don't have to eat any M&Ms."
He's one of the most popular antagonists of all time. Satan, Beelzebub, The Morning Star, Lucifer, Mephistopheles, Louis Cypher, John Milton — whatever you call him, the Devil has captured the imagination of storytellers for centuries. Filmmakers are no different. Dave and Tom take a look at some of the best portrayals of the dark one in movies (not TV) and try to zero in on who played the absolute best incarnation of THE DEVIL.

Did you ever do...lewd things with GI Joes and Barbies when you were a kid? We discuss this important topic and how it really sucks hating a movie that so many people like — we couldn't stand Killers of the Flower Moon...and DiCaprio really pissed Tom off...like, a lot.
It's over. The well has run dry. It's time, for the love of all that is good and sweet in this world, to stop making Terminator movies. Every avenue has been explored, every iteration probed, every avenue trodden. It's. Over. And any further attempts can only get worse. Dave is joined by his old college buddy and extreme movie nerd, Vinnie, who will break down exactly why the Terminator series is LONG past due for a final finale.
A lot of people make fun of Tom Cruise, but he might be one of the last true movie stars left who is making consistently good stuff. And his career has been nothing short of amazing.
At this point, there are several generations of Star Wars fans - but the OG fans are the ones who grew up with nothing but the original trilogy, a bunch of novels, and a few ancient video games. We saw the prequel trilogy come and go, and then the sequel trilogy — but the one thing we always wanted, we never got. And now, it can never be. But Disney could at least give us the original Star Wars trilogy before George "Toy Boy" Lucas...
There have been a few good comedy sequels, but how many? You can probably count them on one hand off the top of your head. Maybe. Making a good sequel to a popular film is hard enough, but it seems like the special magic imbued upon popular comedies is even harder to capture for a second go-round, from the abomination that was Caddyshack II to the horror of Zoolander 2, we examine why that follow-up round of laughs is so elusive.
Dave is joined by his old friend and extreme film nerd, Vinnie, to talk about the recently announced Blair Witch Project remake coming from Lionsgate and Blumhouse. They get into why Hollywood really has to get its head out of its ass when it comes to choosing IPs to remake or reboot and why the chances that this won't suck are really, really low.
In our first episode ever, Dave did his best to convince Tom that Rob Zombie's version of Halloween (2007) was worth his time — because he'd never seen it, and he should have. Tom took the advice and watched this divisive remake of a horror classic. Find out what he thought and if he'll ever trust Dave for a horror movie pick ever again.
Dave doesn't speak Dune very well. He's finally seen the entirety of Dune: Part One (2021) in one sitting, sober, in anticipation of seeing Dune: Part Two (2024), and the recently announced and forthcoming third chapter, Dune: Messiah. He also rewatched David Lynch's Dune from 1984. And he has some question.
Luckily, Tom is a huge nerd and has read all EIGHT Dune books. He provides a crash course in the basics of the Duniverse — ok...
There are a lot of bad movies out there, and most of them have equally shitty endings. It's expected. But every once in a while, you get a good movie, a really solid film that just gets mucked up by a bad ending. On this episode of Yipee-Ki-Yay Mr. Falcon, we go through a few of those and get to ranting and raving about some of the worst endings in movie history tacked on to equally shit films. We couldn't help it.
The guys get to talking about Walk Hard and the legend of Dewey Cox before Dave tells a story about how he kinda sorta accidentally stole a car one time.
The horror classic, The Thing (1982), is one of the crowning achievements of director John Carpenter's career, but the ending has had people arguing for decades. In a movie where anyone can be the monster, you can have a cut and dried finale. So how 'bout it? Was Childs infected after the arctic research station is destroyed? Could MacReady be infected? Both?
You find some weird shit when you randomly watch buried titles on streaming services, but this was one of the best we've ever come across. After finding the made-for-TV cautionary tale classic (in my mind, now, at least) Cocaine: One Man's Seduction (1983), I just had to watch it.
It's like an after-school special for adults, a mediocre budget for TV at the time, and a cast with some surprising names. The lead, a down-on-his-luck ...
We get to talking about our absolute favorite serial killer movies of all time, and we get into that by talking about the recently concluded fourth season of HBO's True Detective: Night Country, starring serial-killer movie alum Jodie Foster alongside Kali Reis. This season have proved controversial, mostly because a lot of media outlets heaped praise upon it, while many fans were left wondering how anyone could accept it as an ent...
There have been eight films that can be called “Rocky Movies” since the original Rocky was released in 1976, and a ninth if you’re stretching it, including a spin-off series that now has a life of its own.
Everyone has their favorites — if you grew up in the 1980s and ‘90s, you probably loved Rocky III and Rocky IV as a kid and that has translated over to adulthood. But how does this series of films about relationships, coming bac...
Welcome to the first episode of Yipee-Ki-Yay Mr. Falcon, a movie podcast for working-class Xennials who love movies! We're introducing our podcast and one of our favorite formats with this first installment. Welcome to "The Laundry List," in which Dave convinces Tom, a busy dad who works full-time, to use his one movie slot a week to watch something specific he's never seen before. This time, Dave is selling Tom — a big fan of ...
