Yipee-Ki-Yay Mr Falcon

We talk about that cyclic genre known as War Movies — the good, the bad, the adjacent, the satires, and the comedies. 

Before there was an MCU and 30 movies with billions of dollars wrapped into it, there was an era where hardly anyone cared about seeing comic book characters on screen, except the fans that kept it on prime time TV for five seasons spanning the 1970s and the 1980s: prime Gen X territory. Elder Millennials knew it through syndicated reruns and, of course, three TV movies made in the late 1980s and early 1990s: The Incredible Hulk Returns (1988), the Trial of the Incredible Hulk (1989), and The Death of the Incredible Hulk (1990). Then we get into the various later portrayals of David.....Bruce....David Bruce Banner and his green, pissed-off alter ego. 

Dave and Vinnie expound on their very different opinions on the final season of Stranger Things and talk about the legacy the landmark Netflix series will leave behind. 

Happy New Year Mr. Falconers!  Today we dig into what makes a good biopic as Vinnie prepares for the release of Michael (2026) and Dave reacts to seeing Springstee: Deliver Me From Nowhere (2025) for the first time. Then we get into what actually separates the shitty biopics from the good ones. 

You about sick of the season? Sick of the music? Sick of the shopping and the cooking and the whining and the family and the going here and getting there? There's a place where all this bullshit exists in a tidy square on a screen...that you can turn the fuck off. Merry Christmas you filthy animals. 

Why do we do it? There are some film franchises that have strayed so far from their roots that fans of the originals have no real business keeping up with the latest installments, but sometimes, we old heads just can't help ourselves. We're junkies who will begrudgingly watch every new Terminator, every new Predator, and every new Alien movie....and we are the worse and more exhausted for it. 

We get into some serious shit on this one, kids. Talking about Quentin Tarantino burning fuckers down for no reason, digging into what's wrong with movies today and what the pending WB buyout might mean for movie lovers. And has the theater experience finally outlived its time for most people? 

Sometimes a director's filmography is a rich tapestry of cinematic discovery that spans decades and can take almost as long to truly appreciate. And then there are other directors that make you want to claw your way back into the ether where your soul existed before you were born. We deep dive into a couple of each. 

This should actually be called "Best Movies to Watch on Thanksgiving," because while many of these movies are tangentially related to the American holiday of food, precious few are actually dedicated to turkey day. So if you're like us and you'd rather watch a few good flicks instead of football while you're digesting away, dig this. 

A couple Jersey guys take a deep dive into the movie universe of one of our favorite directors who hails from a place just a few miles away. Kevin Smith never quite became a MEGA success, and because of that, his movies, especially his early View Askew flicks, still feel like ours.
