Thanks for listening!

It's an old movie and that's part of why I love it. The end makes it endlessly rewatchable when you're looking for clues about what the ending means!

Yes, and your clue about the empty bottles is a good one... I've watched a lot of different videos here on youtube about this topic. I don't recall any of them bringing it up. I think it's definitely something overlooked and easy to miss.

First, thanks for listening! I get it, I really do, but I don't personally think action movies are any less of a genre than any other. (Not saying you do, just saying.) So, it follows that the action elements should at the very least make sense with in the basic laws of physics, depending on the movie. In, say, a Marvel movie, which can be classified as action adventure for sure, you expect things like time and physics to not matter very much. But aside from the conceit that there is an alien race of space-hopping hunters who visit Earth, nothing else in the series has indicated anything supernatural or hyperealized. I understand Prey is popular, but it was just boring to me and annoying at worst. We'll see if the sequels they have planned are any good or if they feel more like cookie-cutter marvelized junk food. - D

@YKYMisterFalcon Thanks for the respectful reply. Rewatched it with my exploitation film group the other night. We all enjoyed it, though we did note how certain historical elements were a little inaccurate, a it's perhaps a little too 'girlboss' and restrained with the gore at times. Still great sci-fi action schlock imo though. Opinions differ at the end of the day, I just thought your nitpicks were a little much for a series that was only ever meant to be popcorn fare. But if you were found yourself bored and detached then fair enough!

I'd rather watch Predator 2 than any of the other sequels, if I had to choose. -D

Thanks for listening, Mark! Please feel free to hit us up on IG @ykymisterfalcon or at ykymisterfalcon@gmail.com. We'd love to hear some of those stories!

Thank you so much for listening! So, thanks to your comment, we looked it up. You might be remembering the plot of a TV show episode that was based on the Tylenol murders, but the person who actually poisoned Tylenol with cyanide in the 1980s was never caught. "The Chicago Tylenol murders were a series of poisoning deaths resulting from drug tampering in the Chicago metropolitan area in 1982. The victims consumed Tylenol-branded acetaminophen capsules that had been laced with potassium cyanide. Seven people died in the original poisonings, and there were several more deaths in subsequent copycat crimes. "No suspect has been charged or convicted of the poisonings, but New York City resident James William Lewis was convicted of extortion for sending a letter to Tylenol's manufacturer, Johnson & Johnson, that took responsibility for the deaths and demanded $1 million to stop them. The incidents led to reforms in the packaging of over-the-counter drugs and to federal anti-tampering laws." As for the candy - while there were urban legends about poison and sharp objects in candy for many years prior, the reporting on supposed cases went into overdrive in the '80s and '90s, which is why we remember it so well: "Despite these claims of poisoned candy being eventually proved false, the news media promoted the story continuously throughout the 1980s, with local news stations featuring frequent coverage. During this time cases of poisoning were repeatedly reported based on unsubstantiated claims or before a full investigation could be completed and often never followed up on. This one-sided coverage contributed to the overall panic and caused rival media outlets to issue reports of candy tampering as well. However, Joel Best says that the spread of the myth cannot be blamed solely on the media and that it must have been transmitted via word of mouth as well. "By 1985, the media had driven the hysteria about candy poisonings to such a point that an ABC News/Washington Post poll that found 60% of parents feared that their children would be injured or killed because of Halloween candy sabotage. "Advice columnists entered the fray during the 1980s and 1990s with both Ask Ann Landers and Dear Abby warning parents of the horrors of candy tampering: "In recent years, there have been reports of people with twisted minds putting razor blades and poison in taffy apples and Halloween candy. It is no longer safe to let your child eat treats that come from strangers. - Ann Landers in 1995 Somebody's child will become violently ill or die after eating poisoned candy or an apple containing a razor blade. - Dear Abby in 1983" Happy Halloween!! --D

@ WOW! Thanks for correct details and all of the extra added info.

I'm sure you're way hipper than that lady down the street was. Happy Halloween!! -D

@@YKYMisterFalconBoo.

Thanks! Glad you liked it! I like Fury so I tend to give it some leniency. I always assumed Norman meant he'd been out of basic for 8 weeks, not including boot camp. The neon tracers bother me more than that bit of dialog though! The only real reason I like Greyhound is because we just don't have any modern WWII naval movies, and this is as close as Hollywood has gotten. And the action is all fine. Would be better if it was framed by a better overall film. It's funny, I never thought Melish was stabbed with the hitler youth knife. That blade always just looked like a bayonet. Now, I could never tell but maybe you know - is he stabbed with a German bayonet, or his own? The blade doesn't look long enough to be German, but I've never been sure. -D

I know! It's brutal.

Just accept it, friendo. If Back to the Future came out next year, Marty would go back to 1995 instead of 1955. Drink it in and welcome to the club.

It's so bizarrely awesome.

Thanks for listening!!!

Nah, don't think so, but thanks for listening!!

That's true, partly because it was so ambitious and expensive. But part of our criteria was that a movie isn't considered a flop if it became a cult classic.

You're tearing me apart.

Just keepin' you on your toes, bud!

But then what's the point? A new movie isn't going to be able to do what the OG film did any better.

Yeah, for sure. It's one of those weird ones that had just enough production value and just good enough of a cast to make it kind of hilarious to watch 40 years later.

Solid shitpost bruh. Love the screen name. What IS that beacon?
