Yipee-Ki-Yay Mr FalconSinners and The Best Vampire Movies of All TimePeople 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 movies ever made.

Yipee-Ki-Yay Mr FalconBack to the Future vs. TimeCop - and Other Vintage Time Travel FlicksWhether 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.

Yipee-Ki-Yay Mr FalconThe Many Faces of BatmanEveryone 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 the Christopher Nolan Dark Knight trilogy. And then there's Ben Afleck. And the kids are all about the darker Robert Pattinson Batman...well...they're in...2025-07-101h 46
Yipee-Ki-Yay Mr FalconIs Star Trek...Better Than Star Wars Now?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? Is Star Trek now the objectively better universe?

Yipee-Ki-Yay Mr FalconThe Godfather - Yeah, It's Still AmazingWhat 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.

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).

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 we're talking about those other ones, too.

We're talking about the child-hitman-in-training classic, Leon (The Professional). So crack that capsule between your molars and tell EVERYONE!

As a kid you would see them, or parts of them, and be irrevocably scarred. Here, we examine the TV movie classic Buried Alive (1990) starring Tim Matheson, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and William Atherton (the dude who played Walter Peck from Ghostbusters) that gave plenty of 90s kids a deep fear of being...you guessed it, buried alive.

One takes the techno-futurist route — The Matrix (1999), and the other takes a more surrealistic sci-fi approach, and made way less money — Dark City (1998). But the latter did become a cult favorite. But how much does The Matrix owe to Dark City, and what did DC do better?

Shoot To Kill (1988) is an action/adventure/mystery/crime/survival flick starring Tom Berenger, Kirstie Alley, Clancy Brown and the legendary Sydney Poitier, who starred in this film after taking a hiatus from acting for several years. The movie shifts tone a little too much, especially toward the end, but it's the kind of action movie you'd expect from the late 1970s rather than the late 1980s, which might explain why nobody...2025-04-0225 min

The original really shouldn't have work, NONE of the sequels worked, and the TV show spinoff had a rabid, but small fanbase. But Henry Cavill is — most likely — starring in a remake of the OG film and stepping into Christopher Lambert's sneakers and trench coat as Connor McCloud. But what do we, the fans who have been there since the beginning, want from a remake, if anything at all?

But as producers of the James Bond films quest once again to find a new actor to step into the 007 tux, one must ask the question: In the 2020s, do we really need a new Bond? Must the epic series continue, or should Bond be allowed to retire into the desert forever? Well, we all know that as long as someone can make some money off yet another Bond and another Bond movie, they will. But we'll still complain about it.

Fuck. And then there was the extraordinarily creepy, extraordinarily gross, and somewhat overwrought Nosferatu from Robert Eggers, who is making his own werewolf movies soon — which presumably is about actual werewolves.

It was a weird move for the already accomplished director: a movie about pool hustlers starring an aging Paul Newman and a up-and-coming Tom Cruise and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio that's actually a long-delayed sequel to a film Newman starred in back in 1961, The Hustler.

Dave and Tom get into all that and more in the first part of their Hannibal Lecter breakdown, going from Manhunter (1986) to Hannibal (2001) and everything in between as they try to figure out who was, in fact, the b...2024-07-251h 17
Yipee-Ki-Yay Mr FalconBONUS - Has Tom Cruise Ever Had a True Flop?We started talking about it, and then decided to go movie by movie through Tom Cruise's filmography to see if the man has ever actually made a movie that was a dead flop. Even the biggest movie stars have had duds, some more embarrassing than others in retrospect, but when it came to Cruise, we couldn't think of one off the top of our heads. And I'll tell you what — we had a damn hard time finding one at all.

Yipee-Ki-Yay Mr Falcon#012 - The Natural, Major League, Field of Dreams - What's Your Favorite Baseball Movie?Baseball movies are special. They're a genre within the sports movie genre, and no sport lends itself to the drama of the screen quite like baseball. They range from ethereal and sincere, like The Natural and Field of Dreams, to fun comedies like Major League. Some tell isolated stories, tiny chapters within the sprawling history of the game, like A League of Their Own and 61*. Others focus on the heartbreak that the game and the life associated with it can bring, like Moneyball and Trouble With The Curve.
And yeah, there have been a few lousy ones, to...2024-07-111h 46
Yipee-Ki-Yay Mr FalconBONUS - Dune: Messiah Is Coming - Explain MORE Dune To Me, Tom!With a new show coming to Max from one of the later Dune books, now seems like a good time to delve into the many, many pages of Dune lore that exist in the novels that come after Dune and Dune: Messiah (which is getting a feature film treatment soon). Fortunately, Tom is a monstrous nerd and has read all EIGHT Dune novels. He breaks down the long saga that will no doubt be strip-mined for movies and TV shows for another decade--until Dave can't take it anymore. It gets really, really weird.

Yipee-Ki-Yay Mr Falcon#011 - The Crow (1994) - 30th Anniversary Screening ReactionThe Crow (1994) turns 30 this year, we were lucky enough to see it in a theater for the first time ever after being way too obsessed with it as angsty teens. It was also the first time Tom had been back in the theater that was OUR theater growing up in about 20 years.
We came to know this movie from VHS copies and DVDs, but never got to see this doom-obsessed teenager's wet dream of a movie on the big screen — we were only 11 ffs. One of the best things about dying movie theaters is that most of the...2024-06-272h 06
Yipee-Ki-Yay Mr FalconBONUS - 'The Room' Can't Be the Last Movie I Ever See!!!A few years ago, a bunch of odd folks thought the Rapture had arrived. Like, the saved would be beamed up to heaven while the rest of us wallowed in hell on earth. Or something like that. Just before the supposed event, Dave saw The Room in its entirety for the first time. And tehre was a moment...just a moment, when he thought it might be the last film he'd ever see.

If you haven't seen it, you're missing out on one of the best of the sub-genre.

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.
Now this is about THE devil - no devil adjacent characters or general demons. Flicks like The Omen movies and The Exorcists movies don...2024-05-301h 54

Yipee-Ki-Yay Mr FalconBONUS - The Only Thing OG Star Wars Fans Ever WantedAt 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 put his cartoon crap in them. Maybe the next May the Fourth.

Yipee-Ki-Yay Mr Falcon#007 - Why So Many Comedy Sequels SuckThere 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.

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.

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 — okay, we're done with the Dune puns. For now......

Yipee-Ki-Yay Mr Falcon#005 - Good Movies with Bad EndingsThere 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.

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?

Yipee-Ki-Yay Mr FalconBONUS - Cocaine: One Man's SeductionYou 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 working stiff who descends into the dark world of casual cocaine addiction, is played by Western veteran Dennis Weaver with an opinionated teenage s...2024-03-1411 min

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 back from insurmountable odds, and, yeah, boxing, look to someone of the same age who didn’t see the majority...2024-02-221h 29

Howl For Wildlife - HOWL CASTOregon is facing the most restrictive gun laws in the nation. Measure 114.Join Amy Patrick of Oregon Hunters Association and David Maccar of Black Rifle Coffee Company & Free Range American as we discuss this pressing issue. At the very least Measure 114 would put an end to buying new firearms almost immediately simply because there is no process in place to adhere to this law should it pass. Conservation dollars are at risk. Privacy is at risk. 2A is at risk. Hunting is at risk. This is a ballot box issue that needs attention now!!
