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.

Dawn of the Dead, 1978

@YFFMPodcast

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.

Next Episode

Under Siege, 1992

@YFFMPodcast

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.
