Yipee-Ki-Yay Mr Falcon

Dave and Vinnie expound on their very different opinions on the final season of Stranger Things and talk about the legacy the landmark Netflix series will leave behind. 

Happy New Year Mr. Falconers! 

Today we dig into what makes a good biopic as Vinnie prepares for the release of Michael (2026) and Dave reacts to seeing Springstee: Deliver Me From Nowhere (2025) for the first time. Then we get into what actually separates the shitty biopics from the good ones. 

You about sick of the season? Sick of the music? Sick of the shopping and the cooking and the whining and the family and the going here and getting there? There's a place where all this bullshit exists in a tidy square on a screen...that you can turn the fuck off. Merry Christmas you filthy animals. 

Why do we do it? There are some film franchises that have strayed so far from their roots that fans of the originals have no real business keeping up with the latest installments, but sometimes, we old heads just can't help ourselves. We're junkies who will begrudgingly watch every new Terminator, every new Predator, and every new Alien movie....and we are the worse and more exhausted for it. 

We get into some serious shit on this one, kids. Talking about Quentin Tarantino burning fuckers down for no reason, digging into what's wrong with movies today and what the pending WB buyout might mean for movie lovers. And has the theater experience finally outlived its time for most people? 

Sometimes a director's filmography is a rich tapestry of cinematic discovery that spans decades and can take almost as long to truly appreciate. And then there are other directors that make you want to claw your way back into the ether where your soul existed before you were born. We deep dive into a couple of each. 

This should actually be called "Best Movies to Watch on Thanksgiving," because while many of these movies are tangentially related to the American holiday of food, precious few are actually dedicated to turkey day. So if you're like us and you'd rather watch a few good flicks instead of football while you're digesting away, dig this. 

A couple Jersey guys take a deep dive into the movie universe of one of our favorite directors who hails from a place just a few miles away. Kevin Smith never quite became a MEGA success, and because of that, his movies, especially his early View Askew flicks, still feel like ours. 

American Beauty gets a bad rap, it's not nearly as dated as some people say it is, and along with Fight Club and Office Space, all of which came out in 1999, they create an interesting picture of the American psyche at the time and shows us a bit how we got from there to here almost three decades later. 

You truly won't believe how many excellent, quirky, and even legendary movies were released in 1996. We tried to do a speed run through them, but there were so many this ended up becoming a deep dive. Let's get into it!

There's something special about the trilogy, whether they're an accidental collection of sequels or a purposeful trilogy like The Lord of the Rings, The Matrix, or the OG Star Wars films. In most cases, if not all, the trilogy is muddied by further sequels that ruin the original triumverate, but we can remember or dis-remember any installments we want, right? Here they are, the best film trilogies of all time. 

They've been on the gory fringe of horror movies for a long time, and then came the great wave in the early 2000s — zombies. They're everyone's favorite apocalyptic flesh eaters, and they come in a ton of varieties, from the voodoo variety to the brain eaters of the 70s and 80s, to the rage-infected runners and speedy zombies that just want to kill — these are the best zombie movies of all time.  

We sometimes think of the superhero-movie era as beginning with the Marvel Phase 1 films, specificaly Iron Man (2008). But the truth is, folks who grew up in the 1980s and 1990s had more superhero movies at their disposal than you might think. Here are the best, from the first big screen (sort of) Punisher, to the OG Superman and Batman, to the Incredible Hulk from TV, they're all here. 

There is seriously hope for the next generation. Find out what some brand spanking new horror fans thought of their first viewings of The Monster Squad (1987), The Wolf Man (1941), and Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954). This is the perfect wayt o kick off the Halloween season. 

It's kind of astounding how many amazing, lasting classic movies came out in 1994. Dozens, far too many to mention one by one - but we try our damn best! Take a nostalgic tour through one of the best years in movie history.
