Did the language and subtitles throw the gang off? Does Gibson's own personal problems impact the enjoyment of the film? Do we get into a deep dive about our own experiences on vacation? For that you will have to watch the whole show.

The YKY gang all went out to the theater to experience Cocaine Bear. We were all excited to see the film based on the crazy trailer. Directed by Elizabeth Banks and starring Keri Russell, Alden Ehrenreich, O'Shea Jackson Jr. and in his final film role, Ray Liotta.

OBS Collateral by Yippee-Ki-Yay Mother Podcast

Tonight the YKY gang discuss Ralph's pick, Academy Award nominee 2022's Triangle of Sadness. Starring Harris Dickinson, the late Charlbi Dean and in a smaller but memorable role Woody Harrelson. A different kind of film about social influencers, the super wealthy and the difference in the classes all set aboard a Yacht and isolated island. Think Lord of the Flies with unlikable people and you'll get the gist. Let's what the gang thinks.

On the latest episode of YKY it's a Hollywood Golden age classic, so you know that means it was John's pick. His pick is the 1936 Frank Capra classic, Mr. Deeds Goes to Town. Starring the great Gary Cooper, Jean Arthur and Lionel Stander (Max on Hart to Hart). It's the story of Longfellow Deeds from Mandrake Falls who inherits 20 million dollars. It's Frank Capra so you know it's small town America VS the big city machine. Who do you think will win. That's why they call it "Capra Corn" and a classic.

On the latest episode of YKY Classic we look at another film recently released and a Best Picture nominee The Banshees of Inisherin. Written and directed by Martin McDonagh and starring Best Actor nominee Colin Farrell, Best Supporting Actor nominee Brenden Gleeson, Best Supporting Actress nominee Kerry Condon and Best Supporting Actor nominee Barry Keoghan. Now that's a lot of nominees. Does it deserve all the. accolades? Is it a black comedy or something darker? If you don't want SPOILERS stop watching at the 16:59 mark.

On the latest episode the YKY gang get a little cultured with Chris's pick 1985's A Room with a View. Directed by James Ivory and starring in her first movie role a very young Helena Bonham Carter, Maggie Smith, Denholm Elliot, Julian Sands and in his 2nd American movie Daniel Day-Lewis. Chris strongly defends his choice and once we understand why he first saw this movie it becomes very clear why he loves this film. What about the rest of the YKY rabble? Watch and see. SPOILERS!

On the latest episode of YKY we go back to the 70's with a Sydney Pollack film, The Yakuza. Starring Robert Mitchum, Ken Takakura, Brian Keith, Richard Jordan, Keiko Kishi and James Shigeta (Takagi in Die Hard). This is an East meets West Character study about debt, loyalty and honor with a screenplay by legends Robert Towne and Paul Schrader. Ralph is in his 70's happy place but what about the rest of the gang.

Tis the season for the Wheel of Holiday movies. We review Ralph's choice, 2022's A Christmas Story, Christmas. A sequel to the beloved holiday classic A Christmas Story (1983). This one was produced and stars the original Ralphie, Peter Billingsley. Does it capture the magic of the original film or is it a blatant money grab? Is it destined to become a must watch Holiday classic? These questions and more are answered by the YKY gang who had some interesting takes. Stay till the end to see what the winner of the Wheel of Holiday movies picks. When you see who wins the pick you will not be surprised with their "Holiday" choice. Now careful or you'll "shoot your eye out".

Continuing the tradition in December of picking our favorite Holiday Themed Films, the Holiday wheel chose Drew. Drew's Holiday pick is the 1999 Classic Holiday film, Eyes Wide Shut. Directed by Stanley Kubrick, his last film before his death, and starring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, who were married at the time of filming. You can imagine how this choice could open the door to a discussion about whether this is truly a "holiday film". If you like your holidays with orgies, crumbling marriages, objectification of women and the F word, then you are in for a magical treat that will open your heart to the holidays. Mmmmm...wonder what I thought? Guess, then watch with your eyes wide open.

In the latest YKY episode we discuss Chris's "Never seen pick", 1970's, The Looking Glass War. A gritty British espionage thriller in the vein of The Spy Who Came in From the Cold. Based on the novel by John le Carré it's directed by Frank Pierson and stars Christopher Jones, Ralph Richardson, Pia Degermark and in only his 4th film, Sir Anthony Hopkins. It's a 70's movie so you know Ralph will love it but will the rest of the gang? Is it Bond or is it boring? Watch and find out.

On the latest episode of YKY we review and discuss our wining community poll viewer pick, 2018's Andhanhun. This review will include MAJOR SPOILERS so if you have not seen the film be warned. Directed and co-written by Sriram Raghaven and starring, Ayushmann Khurrana, Radhika Apte, Manav Vij, 70's and 80's Bollywood star, Anil Dhawan and in a performance that can only be called, delightfully evil, Tabu. This dark comedy thriller came highly recommended so we were all looking forward to seeing it. Did our viewers get it right with this choice? How does it compare to the other films we've seen so far? At any point does the cast break out in an RRR type dance number? Will we ever let our fans pick our movies again? You'll have to watch all the way through to find out. Thanks to all the participated in the poll.

This week we take our second look at the comic rockumentary with special guest Joe Macre. Joe was the original bass player for the acclaimed cult band Crack The Sky. Rolling Stone Magazine declared Crack The Sky "the Beatles of Baltimore." The magazine gave their eponymous first album their "debut of the year" award. Joe says "This Is Spinal Tap" best represents what it was like being in a rock band in the late-70s and early-80s. We don't talk much about the movie, but he keeps us entertained with the history of his band, and life on the road with acts like Frank Zappa, Styx, Boston, Foghat and Cheap Trick among others.

On the latest episode of YKY ( @Yippee-Ki-Yay Mother Podcast ) we are back to our Indian films. This one was recommended by a lot of you, so in keeping with the Halloween spirit this week's film is 2018's Tumbbad. Co-directed by Rahi Anil Barve, Anand Gandhi and Adesh Prasad. This is a atmospheric film about the myth of a God, gold coins and greed. It was a film that took 6 years to make. It is not a horror fest but the last 20 minutes....surprising and creepy. Leave recommendations on more films in the comment section. We will pick the top three and set up a poll in the community section so you can vote on what we should watch next. You have to subscribe to the channel to access the poll so make sure you're subscribed. Thanks for the support. More Indian films to come.

On the latest episode we discuss Ralph's "Never seen pick" 1974's, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. This classic horror film was directed by Tobe Hooper and featured Gunnar Hansen in the iconic role of "Leatherface". Some of the crew had never seen this film, in addition to Ralph, so it was interesting to hear the takes on the film. Does it hold up? Does it deserve its cult like status? Based on last week's views is it a good chance the next film will be from India? Watch and find out. Although, I'd bet the farm on picking an Indian film.

On the latest episode of YKY we take a break from the Bollywood/Tollywood run we have been on with John's horror pick, 2010's Tucker & Dale VS Evil. It stars Tyler Labine, Alan Tudyk and Katrina Bowman. It was directed and written by Eli Craig. It's a complete change of pace from the films we have been watching. It's a horror/comedy flick that takes the "College kids go camping and are terrorized by backwoods hilbillies" and flips it on its head. Does the genre bending work? Does it live up to Ralph's praise? If our views drop will be right back with an Indian film? Tune in to find out.

On the latest episode of YKY we discuss Debbie's pick, which came highly recommended by our Indian watchers. We were looking for a more "grounded Indian film" after the last two we watched. This definitely meets that criteria. It's the true story of the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre and one man's two-decade plan to assassinate the man responsible for the horrific act against the people of India. It is a powerful and disturbing film directed by Shoojit Sircar with a mesmerizing lead performance by Vicky Singh. This film is not for the weak of heart do not expect RRR or Baahubali. This is a serious film about serious events.

Well, based on the overwhelming International response to our RRR review, the latest episode of YKY is one that was suggested to us by some of our supporters. Sean picked the 2015 film, Baahubali: The Beginning. Directed by the same director of RRR, S.S. Rajamouli and starring Prabhas, Rana Daggubati and Tamannah Bhatia. Does it stack up to RRR? Does Drew continue his Indian history classroom? Does Ralph question the speeding up of dance numbers. Does YKY become a Bollywood, Tollywood movie review show to continue increasing our viewership? Good questions. Watch and learn.

On the latest episode of YKY we go to Tollywood to discuss Drew's "Never seen pick, 2022's RRR.(Rise, Roar, Revolt). This a fictional story of two true life Indian freedom fighters who never actually met. This "what if" film was directed by S.S Rajamouli and stars N.T. Rama Rao Jr. and Ram Charen Teja (The Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise of India) in what is one of the craziest, colorful, violent, beautiful and even contains incredible musical production numbers. I can truly say I have never seen anything like this. Did the 3 hr and 7 minute run time turn the gang off? Was the use of animals in an amazing action scene remind us of Dr. Doolittle? You have to watch or listen to find out.

On the latest episode of YKY we go back to film school with John's "never seen pick" 1954's classic, Seven Samurai. Directed brilliantly by Akira Kurosawa (Also wrote the screenplay) and starring Takashi Shimura, Keiko Tsushima and in a stand out performance, Toshiro Mifune. We dissect the film and of course make comparisons to the classic 1960 re-make, The Magnificent Seven. Does it live up to the hype? Is it a film that has really influenced modern cinema? Listen to the discussion and then you can decide.

The latest episode of YKY's "Never Seen" pick is Sean's choice, Francis Ford Coppola's 1981's One from the Heart. The controversial film that killed his Zoetrope Studios. The film was universally panned when it was released in 1981. Curious when you consider the stellar cast including, Teri Garr, Frederick Forrest, Raul Julia, Harry Dean Stanton, Natassja Kinski and Lainie Kazaan. Is it a musical, a romantic comedy, an avant-garde new wave film or simply a passion project from a director who wanted to re-create the old Hollywood studio system? All of that gets worked into the discussion around this film. Let us know what you think in the comment section.

In keeping with the "recommend a movie you have not seen", the latest episode of YKY is Chris's choice. He chose Carol Reed's 1947 film Odd Man Out. A film about an Irish Nationalist attempting to evade the police after being injured in a botched robbery. If you're a fan of far superior, The 3rd Man, you will see the Reed style throughout the movie. It stars James Mason in a role that catapulted his career and look for early roles of Dan O'Herilhy (The "old man" in RoboCop) and William Hartnell the original Dr. Who.)

On the latest episode of YKY, we discuss Debbie's pick, 500 Days of Summer. This "love story"...not really, sparked a lively discussion about love, true love and what happens after a break up. If you ever experienced love or lost love, you may connect with this episode. The film directed by Marc Webb and stars Joseph-Gordon Levitt and as Summer, Zooey Deschanel. If you ever had your heart broken be cautious with this one.

"Rosebud". With that word the YKY discuss what is considered the greatest American film ever made, 1941's Citizen Kane. Co-written, directed and starring the 25 year old wonder kid, Orson Welles. This is the first choice of our current format of picking a movie we have not seen. (I know, not seen Citizen Kane...how does that happen?) This was Ralph's choice who doesn't historically enjoy B&W films with the old school acting. What did he think? What did the gang think? Watch and find out. You may be surprised, I was. Now...."News on the March".

On the latest episode of YKY, romance is in the air. We discuss Debbie's pick, the 1999 Romantic Comedy, Notting Hill. A cute story about a girl who meets a boy and falls in love. Starring Julia Roberts, Hugh Grant and a great supporting cast of British actors. Written and directed by Roger Michell and written by Richard Curtis, who also wrote Four Weddings and a Funeral and Love Actually. It definitely has a British feel. Does the group get swept up in the romance or do they just not buy it? Watch and find out.

Tonight the YKY gang enter the Arthurian Legend with the film The Green Knight. Directed with a stylish flair by David Lowery and starring Dev Patel, Alicia Vikander, Joel Edgerton, Sean Harris and as the Green Knight Ralph Ineson. Does the film, based on a 14th century poem, translate to a current audience, that is part of our discussion. Me, I think I prefer Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Run away! Run Away!

On the latest episode of YKY, a film class staple. 1955's Bad day at Black Rock. Directed by John Sturges and starring Spencer Tracy, Robert Ryan and an all-star supporting cast. It's a tension filled mystery that ends with a fiery conclusion. This was John's pick so you can bet Ralph will have lots to say about it. If you have never seen this film it may be one you want to check out. Film class is now open.

On the latest episode of YKY we discuss the film noir classic The Maltese Flacon. Directorial debut of John Houston and in.a career defining role, Humphrey Bogart as Sam Spade. This is a film that changed the "Detective movies" and influences current films. Pay attention to the fantastic supporting cast who play off of Bogart beautifully. This is a film...that dreams are made of.

Tonight on YKY, Chris imports a film from Hong Kong, 1994's Chungking Express. This film was distributed in the US as the result of Quentin Tarantino who fell in love with it. Directed by Kar-Wai-Wong and starring Takeshi Kaneshiro, Tony Chiu-Wal Leung, Brigitte Lin and in her film debut, Hong Kong Pop superstar Faye Wong. If you're a fan of Asian cinema you may enjoy this "ethereal" story of lost and new found love. If not...well I hope you like the song California Dreaming.

On the latest episode of YKY we discuss 1980's film The 9th Configuration. Directed by the Exorcist author William Peter Blatty. It is an interesting film that is tough to describe. Is it a Marx Brothers comedy, a dark look into mental illness of Viet Nam vets, or is it a jumble of disconnected scenes. We'll let you decide. Lots of familiar faces in the cast led by Stacy Keach, Ed Flanders and Walking Dead actor Scott Wilson. If you have seen this film let us know your thoughts. If you have not seen it, let me know if you want to after our discussion. PS: Stay out of Biker Bars like the one in this film.

This is a very special episode of YKY. Joining the gang tonight is Gary Goldstein. A fan of the show who wanted wanted to get on our podcast who also happens to be an LA Times movie critic. On top of that he worked on the marketing on a film we discussed in a previous episode: Streets of Fire. So we have a great discussion about that and his choice 1976's classic...Taxi Driver. Starring Robert DeNiro in his first role after Godfather II, Cybil Shepard, Albert Brooks, Peter Boyle, Harvey Keitel and a 14 year old Jodie Foster. A gritty and grimy 70's film that is a tough watch . Interesting takes all around. Let us know what you think. You....talking to me...I'm the only one typing here.

This latest episode of YKY is another round robin, this time it's films we watch that are "guilty pleasures". Now that term has many different meanings and that becomes a big part of our discussion. Let us know if you agree and if you have a "guilty pleasure" of your own.

YKY Round Robin True Life Films 1 by Yippee-Ki-Yay Mother Podcast

This week's episode of YKY is testosterone fueled as we discuss our favorite 1980's Action Movies. This is a round robin episode so we each get to bring in one pick. It always leads to a wider discussion about the genre. This one went long due to the amount of great 80's Action Films. Let us know your favorite in the comment section. "Yippee Ki Yay, Mother"......no..."I'll be back"...wait...."Snakes, why'd it have to be snakes."

On this week's episode of YKY we look back at the box office flop, but cult hit, 1984's Streets of Fire, A Rock n roll fable. Directed by Walter Hill (So yes there will be fog) and starring Michael Paré, a 19 year old Diane Lane, Rick Moranis, Amy Madigan and a very young looking Willem Dafoe. This was a strange blend of genres that also has a fantastic soundtrack. If you like your action dark, foggy, with killer musical numbers you may just love this movie. Ah...the 80's.

Tonight on YKY we discuss Drew's pick, 2019's Ready or Not and yes, it is SPOILER filled. Starring Samara Weaving, Adam Brody, Henry Czerny, Andie MacDowell on a funny and tense story. Not much backstory but plenty of craziness. Check it out if you like bloody and funny. Whatever you do, pick the right card.

On the latest episode of YKY we discuss the film They Call Me Trinity. An Italian western that spoofs Eastwood's The Man with No Name Trilogy. It stars Terence Hill and Bud Spencer who became international superstars after this film was released. It's a very "charming" and a bit "goofy" western. People liked it so much they even made two sequels and a kind of sequel They Call Me Nobody co-starring Henry Fonda. Both movies are worth watching. We even discussed Nobody on Cue it Up so I'll leave that link below.

After last week's disturbing pick, The Vanishing, John has decided to go in a completely different direction with this week's choice. He has chosen the comedy classic, Airplane! Released in 1980 and written & directed by ZAZ (Zucker, Abrahams, Zucker). It's the joke a minute movie that took spoofs (Like Mel Brooks) and brought them to another level. Don't blink or you may miss a joke. It starred actors like Leslie Neilsen, Peter Graves. Lloyd Bridges and Robert Stack who were known for serious roles. Their deadpan delivery is what makes it so funny. All the iconic lines are there: "Don't call me Shirley", "Looks like I picked a bad week to stop...", Excuse me stewardess, I speak Jive". Still holds up and we had fun talking about it.

YKY goes back in time to the 1950 classic Born Yesterday. Directed by George Cukor and starring Broderick Crawford, straight from the Broadway version, William Holden and in her Oscar winning performance as Billie Dawn, Judy Holiday (Role she created on stage). It's an old Hollywood style movie featuring the "dumb blonde" who is smarter than even she thinks, the gruff boyfriend and....William Holden. It all turns right in the end but there are some bumpy, and even scary moments till the conclusion. Let us know what you think in the comment section. No double negatives!.

This latest episode of YKY is of Biblical proportions. We discus films based on stories from the Bible that were also of Epic scale. If you watch our show you know there are opinions of religion that are all over the place. You can bet that will impact some of the choices. I think you will enjoy the discussion. Give is some of your suggestions in the comment section. "So let it be written, so let it be done."

The latest episode of YKY brings back returning guest Eric Hicks. He picked the category of World War II War Films. A huge catalog to choose from and the choices made by the gang are pretty eclectic. Let us know what you think of our choices and if you have a favorite of your own. Remember...war is hell.

On the latest episode of YKY the gang discusses the significance, if there is any, of the Oscars. As the ratings plummet and the nominees for best picture are far from "big box office". With the advent of streaming and social media does anyone get excited any more of seeing "stars". We also focus on one film, a recommendation of Drew, the Power of the Dog. Interesting conversation. The Oscar goes to...our viewers.

It's 2022 and the world is dystopian with food shortages and over population. That's the premise of the 1973's Sc--fi classic, Soylent Green. Starring Charlton Heston and in his last performance, Edward G Robison. How accurate is the depiction of 2022? Does the message hold up? Do we find out what Soylent Green is made of? Does Ralph really get into character on this one? Does Uncle All ever take the virtual mask off? Watch and find out that "SOYLENT GREEN IS......."

Tonight's YKY episode is a feel good film, 1993's Cool Runnings. The true story of the Jamaican Bobsled team that competed in the 88 Calgary Winter Olympics. It stars John Candy (In his last film before he died 6 months later), and as the Bobsled team, Leon, Doug E. Doug, Rawie Lewis and Malik Yoba. At the time this was Disney's highest grossing live action film and while not high art, a fun movie that will make you smile. Did everyone feel that way? Watch and find out. Also, if you can help define what "equipment porn" is leave it in the comment section.
