SeanPaulMurphyVille: December 2024

The Yippee Ki Yay Mother Podcast of old is no more. It has morphed into two separate podcasts. Founder Ralph Quattrucci has recreated Yippee Ki Yay Mother Podcast in a new format -- featuring person face-to-face with two people, usually his wife and himself, called The Cinematic Lounge. Meanwhile, Ralph's brother John Quattrucci has created a new podcast called John Talks Indian Cinema, continuing our former emphasis on Indian films. We, the other regulars, have found ourselves adrift.

John invited some of us regulars, Wojo, Brad, Drew, my wife Debbie and myself, and Drew's wife Kelly, back to discuss the film Jaws. Ralph had previously forbidden us to review Jaws in our previous incarnation because he didn't think we collectively had anything new to add to criticism of the film. I'll let you be the judge. I don't know whether we added anything new, but we certainly enjoyed ourselves.

John had broken the episode into a number of parts including this discussion of our favorite lines from the film:

And also our Halloween recommends:

I always had an open invitation to reappear with Ralph on the mothership. I couldn't resist and brought one of my favorite films of all time: the made-for-TV film The Night Stalker, which inspired the influential but uneven series of the same name. It was a fun discussion. Check it out.

Be sure to follow both podcasts.

I wonder if a full reunion would be in the offing if we decided to finally tackle Die Hard....

Be sure to check out my memoir The Promise, or the Pros and Cons of Talking with God, published by TouchPoint Press. It is my true story of first faith and first love and how the two became almost fatally intertwined.

Here are some sample chapters of The Promise:

Chapter 1 - A Photograph

Chapter 2 - My Death

Chapter 3 - Childhood

Chapter 4 - Saved!

Chapter 5 - The Promise

Chapter 6 - The Mission

Chapter 7 - Mission Accomplished
Chapter 15 - Quarter To Midnight

Be sure to check out my novel Chapel Street. It tells the story of a young man straddling the line between sanity and madness while battling a demonic entity that has driven his family members to suicide for generations. It was inspired by an actual haunting my family experienced.

You can buy the Kindle and paperback at Amazon and the Nook, paperback and hardcover at Barnes & Noble.
