  • Die Hard, 1988
    Dec 25 2022

    @YFFMPodcast


    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.

  • Speed, 1994
    Dec 14 2022

    @YFFMPodcast


    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.

    Directed by Jan de Bont. Written by Graham Yost.

  • Police Story, 1985
    Dec 1 2022

    @YFFMPodcast


    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.
