More Movies Please!

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are having to deal with someone who’s a little too much of a fan. We watched the 1990 film from Rob Reiner, Misery. I’ll be the first to say that we love our fans. You intrepid, stalwart listeners, you, who download a new episode of More Movies Please! every single dang week, we appreciate your support. But after watching this film, we’re...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are navigating this weird, scary new world of growing up. We watched the 2023 film from Kelly Fremon Craig, Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret. Ah, the joys of puberty. The changing voice, the new hair sprouting up everywhere, and who knows what the heck is going on down in the bathing suit area. It’s a time we all share and remember fon...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are frying up something tasty for y’all. We watched the 1991 film from Jon Avnet, Fried Green Tomatoes. To kick off our entire month full of Kathy Bates love, we present to you one of the craziest, loveliest, movingest films we’ve ever had the pleasure of talking about on this podcast. What do you get when you throw in a dash of death and...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are just trying to celebrate the new millennium in peace! We watched the 2024 film from Kyle Mooney, Y2K. Remember those halcyon days when our pants were baggy and saggy, our Tamagotchis controlled our lives, and the world was on the brink of destruction because of a computer coding oversight? Pepperidge Farm remembers. The year 2000 was a...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are on an unstoppable quest to get our gold back from the worst scum imaginable. We watched the 2022 film from Jalmari Helander, Sisu. What do you get when you cross a crapload of found gold, a bunch of Nazi bastards, and what could rightly be called the Finnish Superman? You get one of the bloodiest, revengiest films ever made. There’s a...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are wishing we were Nicolas Cage and best friends with Pedro Pascal. We watched the 2022 film from Tom Gormican, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. I’m putting it out there right now: Nic Cage is one of our finest actors. Not only is he a freaking Oscar winner, but he also does weird meta movies like this one. Doesn’t he seem like th...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean have found themselves trapped in a future that’s not quite like our present. We watched the 2006 film from Mike Judge, Idiocracy. Question for you: if you had to choose between living in an Idiocracy future or a WALL•E future, which would you go with? I know this episode isn’t about that Pixar movie, but bear with me. Sure, we’d likely be...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are dressing up like Santa to rob a whole freaking casino on Christmas Day. We watched the 2000 film from John Frankenheimer, Reindeer Games. When it comes time for us to wrap up the year, and stick a bow on top, we like to ask ourselves a question: did either of us really torture the other enough with our B-movie choices? I mean, how else...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are learning to live again while taking down some dirty, rotten criminals. We watched the 1987 film by Richard Donner, Lethal Weapon. If 50-something is, as Murtaugh claims, “too old for this shit,” then what do we have to look forward to? And what does it say about us when we’re already feeling too old for a lot of shit? I’ll say one thin...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are learning about the true meaning of Christmas. We watched the 1965 film from Bill Melendez, A Charlie Brown Christmas. Christmastime is here. Happiness and cheer. Fun for all that children call. Their favorite time of year! (Recorded on December 04, 2024) Links to Stuff We Mentioned: A Charlie Brown Christmas - The Movie Database (TMDB)...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are trying to save Christmas from those dang little monsters. We watched the 1984 film from Joe Dante, Gremlins. There’s a man out there. Look, look he’s crawling on the… Oh wait, that’s the wrong kind of gremlin, and we’re not in a plane. Not that the ones in this week’s film are any less creepy. These ‘80s gremlins are arguably more horr...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are just trying to inject a little Christmas joy into the ruts of their lives. We watched the 1993 film from Henry Selick, The Nightmare Before Christmas. This is Halloween, this is Halloween… Wait, this is actually Christmas time. A small conundrum has popped up, and it’s sending us into an existential crisis. No, you’re catastrophizing!...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are leaving the North Pole and finding our family. We watched the 2003 film from Jon Favreau, Elf. Do you ever feel like you’re different from everyone else? Maybe you don’t look like everyone else? Maybe you’ve got different interests? Maybe you’re a full-grown human being living amongst Santa’s elves? That’s the story of Buddy the elf in...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are just going to skip any post-Thanksgiving sales this year, thank you very much. We watched the 2023 film from Eli Roth, Thanksgiving. It’s the sort of manic behavior exhibited by the insane shoppers at the beginning of this film that is the reason why other countries look at us and shake their heads. We’ve got to do better people! To pa...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are just trying to get home in time for Thanksgiving. We watched the 1987 film from John Hughes, Planes, Trains & Automobiles. In the great arc of our lives, we should all strive to be more like John Candy and a whole lot less like Steve Martin. At least, how they are in this classic ‘80s comedy. I get it—Steve’s character, Neal, is de...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are really hoping that this film won’t be prophetic. We watched the 2024 film from Alex Garland, Civil War. I imagine that slipping into fascism happens in the same way bankruptcy does. In a quote often attributed to Ernest Hemingway in his novel, The Sun Also Rises, one character asks, “How did you go bankrupt?” The other responds, “Two w...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are on a mission to take down some alternate future fascists. We watched the 2006 film from James McTeigue, V for Vendetta. Remember, remember! The fifth of November, The Gunpowder treason and plot; I know of no reason Why the Gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot! (Recorded on October 23, 2024) Links to Stuff We Mentioned: V for Vendett...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are probably going to die… real… slow… We watched the 2023 film from Matthew Goodhue, Slotherhouse. It seems like many of the best horror films take place in a sorority house. There’s Black Christmas , Happy Death Day , Sorority House Massacre . It’s time to add a new one to that list! You might think it’s cute. You might love its adorable...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are trying to stay sane while there’s a Satan-worshipping cult about. We watched the 2018 film from Ari Aster, Hereditary. What? You’re saying that you didn’t know there’s a shadowy cabal of murderous, lunatic, Hell fetishists in this film? You thought it was just about creepy family drama? Well, you’re not wrong. And join the club! We had...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are hard of hearing but easy with revenge. We watched the 2016 film from Mike Flanagan, Hush. I think this is an important film that teaches a valuable lesson. Life may get you down. Hell, it may even take your hearing and your voice, but that doesn’t mean you can’t kick some serious ass. As they say: when the going gets deaf, the deaf get...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are body swapping and murderer fleeing. We watched the 2020 film from Christopher Landon, Freaky. You all remember that silly movie where Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan are a mother and daughter who magically switch bodies and hijinks ensue? Freaky is a lot like that one, but loads of people are brutally murdered. It’s the classic form...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are being smart and just staying out of cornfields. We watched the 2021 film from Tim Ritter, Sharks of the Corn. I’ve had it with these motherfucking sharks in this motherfucking corn! Wait, that’s a different movie entirely. Is Snakes on a Plane a better movie than this one? Lucky you, we’ve now done both of them! Am I saying that one is...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are taking down the man, one tv show at a time. We watched the 1987 film from Paul Michael Glaser, The Running Man. The year is 2017. Reality television has grown out of control. Sadistic game show hosts control the country. Real blood is spilled. Lives are lost. The crowd cheers on. No, I’m not talking about what actually happened to the...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are seriously reevaluating all of their sports hobbies. We watched the 2005 film from Neil Marshall, The Descent. Word to the wise: if you find out your spouse is cheating on you with one of your friends, don’t go on an uncharted spelunking trip with said friend. There’s no way that outing is going to go well. And that’s assuming you won’t...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are just trying to make it to Friday without going crazy. We watched the 1999 film from Mike Judge, Office Space. “Corporate accounts payable, Nina speaking… Just a moment.” “’PC Load Letter’? What the fuck does that mean?” “I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and it’s not okay because if they take my stapler then I’ll set the bui...
