More Movies Please!

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are committing more health code violations than a person could possibly keep track of with the 2005 film from Rob McKittrick, Waiting… If this film isn’t enough to make you swear off ever eating food at a restaurant again, then I don’t know what will. It definitely made my feel extra queasy, enough to take that vow. Yes, I’m saying a vow o...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are slapping old, white racists in the face because they deserve nothing less with the 1967 film from Norman Jewison, In the Heat of the Night. Let’s get this out of the way first. Racism is bad and racists are terribly under-educated, fearful people who could use a good dose of empathy and love in their lives. Sure, there’s nothing ground...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are on the hunt for a mysterious hidden treasure and shooting at loads of people along the way with the 2008 film from Kim Jee-woon, The Good, the Bad, the Weird. Perhaps this film won’t be anything that breaks any new storytelling ground—it is a new version of the classic The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly by Sergio Leone. Given the history...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are just blowing crap up in the 1995 film from Michael Bay, Bad Boys. I’m curious, is this another one of those mix-‘em-ups that could be solved by sitting down and having a clear and calm conversation with all parties involved? Not with the vaguely European bad guys. Those punks aren’t going to listen to anybody. They’re all about the dru...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are doing everything we can to not become hanging sacks of cotton candy goo in the Stephen Chiodo film from 1988, Killer Klowns from Outer Space. If you can give us any illuminating information about why the heck these clowns, sorry, klowns landed on Earth, systematically hunted down humans, and were a general nuisance, I would be grateful...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are running for our freaking lives in the 1979 film from Ridley Scott, Alien. Can we all assume that the evil corporation that dooms these poor cargo transporters is clearly Amazon or Facebook (sorry, Meta)? At least in this film, the corporation isn’t explicitly revealed, just that the crew communicates with a computer called “Mother.” So...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are receiving otherworldly transmissions and venturing out into the farthest reaches of space in the 1997 film from Robert Zemeckis, Contact. This film does many things well, but the best thing it does is inspire deep thought and conversation. It demands that you consider the world outside of your microcosm. It asks you what it would be li...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are floating around for the sake of our dang lives in the 2017 film from Daniel Espinosa, Life. I’m going to make it my mission in, ahem, life to never find myself traveling into space. Outer space, inner space, it doesn’t matter. I don’t want any part of the universe outside of the atmosphere of Earth. No good can come of rejecting the gr...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are on a family quest to retrieve our lucky coin that was stolen by leprechauns. Yes, literal leprechauns. It’s the 2001 film by Paul Hoen, The Luck of the Irish. Did anyone else have a middle school experience where your parents started shrinking, you started sucking at basketball out of the blue, your friends got on your case—and hard—ab...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Pirate Steven and Sean are dodging, ducking, dipping, diving, and dodging in the 2004 film from Rawson Marshall Thurber, Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story. Don’t you just hate it when Ben Stiller gets all up in your business, threatening to ruin you financially and sticking his literally inflated crotch in your face? What a punk, am I right? Okay, the man...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are joined, once again, by the always excellent Landon Coats to talk about the revenge story with the most cockney accent around. It’s the 1999 film by Steven Soderbergh, The Limey. It’s always a good time when Landon drops by because it means we get to talk about all of the movies. No stone goes unturned! We’re delving deep into Soderberg...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are trading children like they’re freaking Yu-Gi-Oh cards up in this place in the 2013 film from Hirokazu Kore-eda, Like Father, Like Son. We watched and talked about this film at length and I’m still baffled by some of the decisions that these supposed adults took with their children’s lives. How do you look at the baby you’ve raised into...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are trying not to become a spider’s next hot meal in the Ellory Elkayem film from 2002, Eight Legged Freaks. If there’s any lesson we all can take from these B-movie bonus episodes it’s that we should listen to the nerdy kids a whole lot more. They usually have exactly the right ideas. Instead, what, we’re supposed to fall in line with the...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are using the Schwartz, rescuing a princess, and taking down the biggest small baddie in the galaxy in the 1987 film from Mel Brooks, Spaceballs. Dark Helmet is on an unstoppable rampage in his quest to steal all of that delicious air from Planet Druidia. There’s only one space bandit who can stop him and rescue the beautiful Princess Vesp...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are learning how to become badass assassins so we can eventually end up falling in love with charming supermarket patrons in the Luc Besson film from 1990, Nikita. If this isn’t the first woman-has-to-choose-between-learning-to-be-an-assassin-or-be-executed film, then it’s definitely the best of the bunch. It’s a film that not only helped...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are joined once again by the wonderful Greg Dengler to do some fighting, do some loving, and of course, do some running in the 1994 film from Robert Zemeckis, Forrest Gump. We’re schooled, in a good way, this time by our dear guest. A new interpretation of this wonderful and consistently excellent film is given to us all. It’s a way of vie...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Scuba Steven and Sean are hunting down the most dangerous thing to ever swim in the oceans around Amity Bay in Steven Spielberg’s film from 1975, Jaws. We get it—money’s important. But hey, council members of Amity Bay, aren’t human lives important, too? I bet you’d be singing a different tune if it was one of your kids who got ka-chomped by this murderou...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are using the power of love to take over the galaxy in the 2020 film from Steven Kostanski, Psycho Goreman. The ‘80s were a wild time. Parental supervision was at a low, tv shows were corny and ridiculous, and murderous alien creatures were found buried in the earth all over the place. You couldn’t go ten feet without narrowly losing your...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are going on the most life-changingest, girl-meetingest, deep-pit-lookingest road trip of our entire lives in the 2016 film from Rob Burnett, The Fundamentals of Caring. Don’t you just hate it when your life falls apart around you? Your beloved son dies, your partner leaves because of the strain of the aforementioned death, and now you’re...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are dealing with heavy illnesses, heavy emotions, and heavy, um, love? Yeah, heavy love. It’s the 2011 film from Jonathan Levine, 50/50. It’s the episode subtitle, but I’m going to say it again: fuck cancer. This can’t be shouted from the rooftops enough. It’s a brutal, merciless, piece of crap disease that needs to be eradicated from this...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are trying to make our dad proud by saving the family automotive parts business in the 1995 film from Peter Segal, Tommy Boy. What we’ve got here in the ‘90s is an era of comedy films, namely those starring people like Chris Farley, Adam Sandler, Mike Myers, Chris Rock, and David Spade, that has a special place in the hearts of many. Heck,...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are saying YES to life and YES to this week’s movie. It’s the 2008 film by Peyton Reed, Yes Man. This movie makes a good point: stop being a “no” person and start saying “yes” to more things. Who knows what could happen? Maybe you’ll end up at the top of a Los Angeles mountain with a homeless person. Maybe you’ll end up bungee jumping. You...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are joined by a well-known excellent person, Greg Dengler, for the third time to talk about a sentient killer tire. What better way to celebrate our last B-movie bonus episode of 2021 than to talk about Quentin Dupieux’s 2010 film, Rubber? There is no better way, and there is no better person with whom to talk about this movie. What a surp...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are joined by one of our favorite guests, Mr. Johnny SoCal, to talk about the action-packed (and apparently very contentious) 1988 film from John McTiernan, Die Hard. Ask yourself, is this a Christmas movie? Does it just scream “the holidays” or does it just happen to take place during a month in winter when many people celebrate spending...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are donning their capes, cowls, and gauntlets to fight crime in a city that no one should live in with the Tim Burton film from 1992, Batman Returns. But really, why does anyone choose to live in Gotham City? It appears to be one of the most crime-riddled cities in the entire world. I’m sure it’s entirely inadvisable to venture out at nigh...
