Yipee-Ki-Yay Mr Falcon
A movie podcast for people who grew up in an analog world of VHS tapes and rabbit ears and evolved into a digital landscape. We’re just regular dudes who watch a whole lot of movies, talk about movies, and use them as touchstones throughout our lives.

We sometimes thing 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.
While there is a particular series of films, and a spinoff series, that most people think of when they hear "boxing movie," there are a hell of a lot of great flicks in this subgenre of sports movies. Some of them are even classics. Does the sweet science of pugilism truly make for the best sports movies of all time? We take a tour through all of the best boxing movies that aren't in the Rocky series, from Raging Bull and Somebody ...
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.
Some movies are just as memorable for the songs backing the imagery and the score weaving it all together. There have been some epic movie soundtracks from the past few decades, and they show the power a really good mixtape can have. What's your favorite movie soundtrack of all time? Let us know in the comments!
Plus...learn everything you absolutely must know...about WOLF JAZZ.
There's a growing movement of movie fans who are committing to buying physical media so they are no longer at the mercy of streamers. But we were doing it before it was cool — because it was all we had. Now, recollecting movies on 4K is becoming an awesome way of watching movies you love with new eyes, and in a lot of ways, for the first time again.
There are a few years that are landmarks in cinema for the sheer volume of awesomeness that was released in theaters between January and December. One of those years...is 1987.
Yes we have another one of those mysterious occurrences from the 1990s where two movies with extremely similar subject matter tackled in very different ways were released right on top of each other: Dante's Peak and Volcano, both from 1997. Which movie about molten magma spurting from the earth's core did it better?
The Terminator film series is a wild mess of continuity, but this super interesting fan theory only focuses on the original The Terminator (1984) and also helps explain away some of the weirdness of the legendary Terminator 2. And most importantly, the theory actually holds up and doesn't require a whole bunch of extra explanation or other BS, just what's in the movie we have. So...is it possible that the Sarah Connor we know — pla...
We were having a weird day and bounced around from a tribute to the late Michael Madsen to potential new James Bonds, William S. Burroughs, and weird old biker movies, and a new one, too. Sometimes, we're just, like, not super focused or whatever.
"What are you rebelling against, Johnny?"
"Whaddaya got?"
People have been making movies about vampires literally since the advent of the medium, and they've been reinvented and the stories retold with different twists and turns and takes, and sometimes, even some originality, through every era of film. Sinners is the latest and extremely welcome entry in the bloodsucker canon, but the 1980s and 1990s were a fertile feeding ground for the undead. Let's take a tour through the best vampire...
Whether it's a strange old man's DeLorean or Superman flying around the globe backwards, time travel mechanisms were a big deal in the movies of the 80s and 90s. So of course we have to pit one of the best — Back to the Future — against one of the...least adored — TimeCop. Sort of. And we get into a bunch of other time travel flicks and TV, too.
Everyone has THEIR Batman, depending on which one they grew up with. For our parents, it was the goofy, campy, weird, and sometimes extremely creepy Adam West groovy Batman. For a lot of us, there will be none other than the 1989 Tim Burton Batman with Michael Keaton in the batsuit. For a precious few, Val Kilmer is the defacto Caped Crusader. Then there's George Clooney. For others, nobody will replace Christian Bale's Batman in t...
For eons, the Star series knew their place. Trek was serious sci-fi, and there was a lot of it, and a huge amount of it was kinda lousy. Comparatively, for a long, long time, there were only three Star Wars movies — and then six — and most of them were pretty great. But times have changes. The Star Wars universe has been diluted by a new, awful trilogy, and myriad TV series — the majority of it all sucks. So, have the scales tilted...
From Tyrone Power, to George Hamilton, to Antonio Banderas, and from Errol Flynn to Kevin Costner to Russel Crowe, they're two classic characters that have been on the silver screen since the beginning of film, and they both played a big part in the 1990s movie landscape.
If you know the particular hell of working retail, or if you're currently in said hell, this episode is for you.
What is there to say...it's one of, if not the greatest piece of American cinema ever made. It changed the way movies were made and how people thought of the organized crime in the 1940s and 50s, while also weaving one of the greatest family sagas ever put to film. Find out what it's like for some to watch this gem for the first time after 40!
A shitsplat town where the biggest attraction for the young locals is a dilapidated demolition derby track run by a super young Jamie Lee Curtis, who is in a semi-sordid love triangle with Patrick Swayze (who is married to Jennifer Jason Leigh) and C. Thomas Howell playing an 18-year-old HS grad ready to sow his oats and figure out what he wants to do with his life. That's the deal in Grandview, USA (1984).
Oh, and the local hick-...
This year is the half-century mark — the 50th anniversary of Steven Spielberg's original summer blockbuster: Jaws. You can hear the music, can't you? It changed the way we watch movies and the way movies were made. It was full of happy accidents and success out of necessity — and it was followed by three astonishingly bad sequels, establishing yet another firm American cinematic tradition. We're talking about our love for JAWS, and...
Sometimes a director's cut is the filmmaker's vision more fully realized, sometimes it's just a bunch of lousy alternate takes and extended scenes cut back into a movie that was well paced and tight, and other times, it adds some seriously moral ambiguity that makes you feel a little queasy, even when you watch the regular version. We're talking about the child-hitman-in-training classic, Leon (The Professional). So crack that caps...

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
