Your Father's Favorite Movies

@YFFMPodcast

The 1982 movie, The Thing. "Man is the warmest place to hide."

Grab your favorite whiskey and spend an Antarctic winter one thousand miles from no where with Kurt Russel, Keith David, A. Wilford Brimley, Donald Moffat, and David Clennon. In this episode we kick off spooky season with the psychological terror movie of the 80's in which no one can be trusted.. not even your dog. Grab a glass of whiskey and watch some of the best "valmorphication" ever put to the screen. If there's one thing that this film's budget breakdown tells us, it's clear the real star of this movie is its practical effects.. sorry Kurt Russel. This is a great movie to put on, tie you and your friends to the couch and.. see what happens.

Directed by John Carpenter. Written by Bill Lancaster.

Previous Episode

RoboCop, 1987

@YFFMPodcast

The 1987 movie, RoboCop. "Part man. Part Machine. All cop."

Keep crime off the streets of Detroit, and corruption out of 15 story boardrooms with Peter Weller, Nancy Allen, Kurtwood Smith, Ronny Cox, and Michael Ferrer. This episode we are joined by *actual human police officer* Ryan to give some fresh takes on this 80's classic. We get to ask him hot takes on the realism of this absurdist action flick, like.. is it police protocol to dual wield pistols out the window of a police car while you're chasing a suspect? How close are police units to having co-ed locker rooms? and how many windows is appropriate for throwing a non-compliant suspect through? All in the YFFM crew is in agreement about this "So good, it's good" satirical Reagan-era reaction to corporate greed and automation, that also just plain kicks ass. Now who wouldn't buy that for a dollar?!

Directed by Paul Verhoeven. Written by Edward Neumeier & Michael Miner.

Next Episode

The Lost Boys, 1987

@YFFMPodcast

The 1987 movie, The Lost Boys "Sleep all day. Party all night. Never grow old. Never die. It's fun to be a vampire."

Jump in the family van for a trip out to Santa Carla (the murder capitol of the world) with Keifer Sutherland, Jason Patric, Jami Gertz, Dianne Wiest, and Edward Herrmann. For this spooky season episode we enter the world of vampires AKA the only sexy movie monster.. sorry Frankenstein. Speaking of vampires.. did we mention this movie is bat-shit crazy? Join the gang with special guests (who also happen to be screenwriters) Kelsey and Hannah as we break down how this originally intended children's adventure movie turned into the sexualized blood-thirsty 1980's horror icon that it is, and how do the frog brothers play into all of this? Recommended for watching with your dog.. maybe not your brother. Think of it as a survival guide..

Directed by Joel Schumacher. Written by Janice Fischer, Jeffrey Boam, and James Jeremias.
