The 1988 movie, Die Hard. "40 stories of sheer adventure!"
Come out to the coast, get together, and have a few laughs with Bruce Willis, Alan Rickman, Bonnie Bedelia, Reginald VelJohnson, and Paul Gleason. For this year's holiday episode, we encourage you to kick back, relax, take off your shoes and curl your toes into fists on the carpet as you watch this stress-packed, explosive action (or should we say Christmas) movie classic. This week the crew breaks down how Bruce Willis made the gravity defying leap, without the assistance of a fire hose we might add, from television to the silver screen, what exactly does Yipee-Ki-yay mean, mother fucker? and how much of the budget went to hearing aids for the cast and crew after suffering permanent hearing loss from "shooting" this movie? All we can say is, if this is their idea of Christmas, we gotta be here for New Years!
Directed by John McTiernan. Written by Jeb Stuart & Steven E. de Souza.

The 1994 movie, Speed. "Get ready for rush hour."
Enjoy your morning commute on various forms of LA public transit with Keanu Reeves, Sandra Bullock, Dennis Hopper, Jeff Daniels, and Joe Morton. This movie is The wild ride of 1994, starting hot out of the gate with the action that never falls below 50 MPH.. guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your bus seat. In this episode the gang discusses how Speed relates to the LA experience, just how real was that blazing hot chemistry between Sandra and Keanu, and how does a 15 ton bus clear a 50 foot gap in the freeway? Pop quiz, hot shot... try not to get dead.

The 1985 movie, Police Story. "From the master of action comes more screen excitement than you've ever seen."
Clear your good name by taking your boss hostage at gunpoint with Jackie Chan, Maggie Cheung, Brigitte Lin, Yuen Chor, and Bill Tung. So you think you know Jackie Chan?? Think again, idiot. Unless of course you've seen this classic Hong Kong legendary piece of cinema, in which case you're cool. Join the YFFM gang as we break down the crazy stunts in this movie and just how many injuries they were responsible. Put your bets down now for how many vertebras Jackie Chan broke during this movie. This movie also had subtitles, so don't bother watching if you can't read good.
Directed by Jackie Chan. Written by Jackie Chan & Edward Tang.

The 1992 movie, Under Siege. "In 1992 a battleship's been sabotaged by nuclear pirates out to steal its warheads. Now, surrounded by terrorists, a lone man stands with a deadly plan of attack."
Take those pies out of the oven and save Honolulu from nuclear annihilation with Steven Seagal, Tommy Lee Jones, Gary Busey, Erika Eleniak, Colm Meaney and Patrick O'Neal. This week the gang covers action hero, martial arts master, and real law enforcement agent, Steven Seagal's most successful movie. What is it that makes this action star so cool yet so cringey? Why does his accent change in every scene? and why has he only been making straight to video action movies for the last 22 years? Do you have an opinion about nuclear weapons? Any opinion at all! If so, then that makes you the target demographic for this highly "sophisticated" movie, according to Director, Andrew Davis. But enough of that babbling bullshit.. press play and enjoy!
Directed by Andrew Davis. Written by J. F. Lawton.

The 1978 movie, Halloween. "The night he came home!"
Make some popcorn, put on a scary movie and try not to get murdered with Jamie Lee Curtis, Donald Pleasence, P.J. Soles, Nancy Kyes, and Kyle Richards. This Halloween, for our final edition of spooky season, the gang does perhaps the most influential scary movie ever.. John Carpenter's Halloween. The movie that creted horror movie cliches before they were horror movie cliches. In this episode we cover the important questions like; why is the mortality rate for hot naked women so high in scary movies? How much was Donald Pleasence's wine budget on set? and how big is Derek's crush on Michael Myers as the ultimate horror movie villain? It's Halloween.. everyone's entitled to one good scare.
Directed by John Carpenter. Written by John Carpenter and Debra Hill.

The 1978 movie, Dawn of the Dead. "When there's no more room in hell... the dead will walk the earth!"
Let's go to the mall with David Emge, Ken Foree, Scott Reiniger, Gaylen Ross, and Rudy Ricci. For our third edition of Spooky Season we enter the world of Zombies. The gang asks the important questions like what would you do during a zombie apocalypse? how did a movie with such a small budget afford to hire a crew of so many? Why can't we find this movie streaming on any legal platform? and why does this movie draw so many comparisons to the 2020 pandemic? So lock yourself in a safe location, bar the doors, cock your shotguns, crack a beer and enjoy.
Written and Directed by George A. Romero.
