Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are trying to outlive some sicko’s demented hobby games. We watched both Escape Room movies by Adam Robitel. When did we all stop loving the simple things in life? When did the pure pleasure of a video game or, I don’t know, going for a walk in the park become boring and passé? Everything now is all trap myself in this, escape from that. H...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are trying to save the universe with MAXIMUM EFFORT! We watched the 2024 film from Shawn Levy, Deadpool & Wolverine. What do you get when you combine the Merc with a Mouth and Weapon X? That’s right: it’s one of this year’s biggest blockbusters (and the veritable savior of Marvel, if you listen to some reviewers). It’s the epic team-up...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are dunking ourselves in questionable goo to save the world. We watched the 1994 film by Mike Binder, Blankman. Watching Blankman is like becoming Blankman: you feel like a nerdy film buff while you’re doing it, and by the end of the movie, you’ll end up feeling like you can take down crime. It’s like giving yourself superpowers! The sheer...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are taking down crime with our trusty WWI baton and duct tape. We watched the 2009 film from Peter Stebbings, Defendor. Who watches the watchmen? Well, in this case, it’s a decked out Woody Harrelson with a troubled past and a taste for taking down crime. Evildoers, you’ve been warned. Is he the Batman that many of us might wish were actua...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are taking a pipe wrench to crime’s face. We watched the 2010 film from James Gunn, Super. Suit up, dear listeners! Now is not the time to be complacent. There’s crime happening every dang day, and we’re going to be the ones to take down that crime. This holy mission has been given to us by weird hentai God. Bad guys aren’t going to know w...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are probably going to get their asses kicked trying to stop some actual villains. We watched the 1999 film from Kinka Usher, Mystery Men. Oh, the superheroes we all know and love. We’ve got Spider-man. We’ve got Wonder Woman. We’ve got Iron Man, Batman, and Captain Marvel. And, of course, the most well-known and -loved of them all: the Blu...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are telling crime to go screw itself. We watched the 2010 film from Matthew Vaughn, Kick-Ass. Getting stabbed, flying around in a machine gun jetpack, toppling a giant mafia organization… It’s all in a day’s work for your average hero. And believe me when I tell you that this hero is most definitely average. Does he have superpowers? Does...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are trying to stay as quiet as possible while the world is ending. We watched the 2024 film from Michael Sarnoski, A Quiet Place: Day One. I think there’s a non-zero amount of people who think they can survive an alien invasion like the one shown in this film. I’m here to say that there’s a good chance that’s not true. In fact, there’s a 1...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are traveling through space to save the universe from the dreaded Emperor Ming. We watched the 1980 film from Mike Hodges, Flash Gordon. What do a former football player, a Swedish knight who challenges Death to a chess match, and a fiddler on the roof all have in common? They’re all in this absolutely bonkers B-movie! I don’t want to give...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are back to fighting the freaking Empire… erm, I mean the First Order. We watched the 2015 film from J.J. Abrams, Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens. A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away… evil space dictatorships just won’t stay put down. Just when you think the magic space wizards have established peace, someone comes along w...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are racing to fend off the greatest threat in all the galaxy. We watched the 1977 film from George Lucas, Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope. So you’re just hanging out on your moisture farm. You’ve got nothing much to look forward to except heading out to Toschi Station to get some power converters. Your life looks like it’s laid out in f...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are on a mission to stop the most evil force in the galaxy. We watched the 2016 film from Gareth Edwards, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Dust off those lightsabers and laser blasters, rebels, because we’re taking on the meanest, the baddest, the most fascist of entities in the entire universe: it’s the Empire! When you’re up against the wal...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are on the hunt for righteous revenge. We watched the 2024 film from George Miller, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. Gear up, buckle up, and shut up because it’s time to hit the open wasteland road! Or rather, the fury road. When your destination is beyond vengeance, there’s no time to waste. Furiosa, the character, not the title, is pissed. Beyon...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are trying to figure out who we are and what the heck everything means. We watched the 2024 film from Jane Schoenbrun, I Saw the TV Glow. You know those inscrutable films that feel like they’re amazing, that feel like they have a deeply personal message, but you just can’t make heads or tails out of a single moment? If those qualities soun...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are making some new friends that may or may not be real. We watched the 2024 film from John Krasinski, IF. There’s a kid inside all of us just waiting to burst back into the world. As we grow older, we tend to forget the childlike wonder and creativity we’re gifted with. We become, and I shudder to say this, adults. But becoming an adult d...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are unleashing an ancient evil into this world. We watched the 1999 film from Stephen Sommers, The Mummy. Look, accidentally uttering evil words from a surely cursed book that should never have been dug up in the first place could happen to anybody. It’s not like Rick or Evie meant to awaken the great and powerful Imhotep. Mistakes happen,...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are finding the courage to fight in a post-apocalyptic desert wasteland. We watched the 2015 film from Anouk Whissell, François Simard, and Yoann-Karl Whissell, Turbo Kid. If you ever happen to find yourself trying to survive in a destroyed and unrecognizable world, remember that there are only three things that you need: A futuristic and...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are just trying to teach these damn kids a lesson! We watched the 2018 film from Brian Taylor, Mom and Dad. Old age will come for us all, and when it does you’d better hope you either don’t have kids or that they’re far away from you. If that sounds harsh, then just give this film a watch. I’m certain you’ll understand afterwards. Really i...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are just trying to survive another terrible day at school. We watched the 2014 film from Cary Murnion and Jonathan Milott, Cooties. We all remember elementary school, right? Droning lessons, playground politics, and of course, the thing that has surely defined those years for everyone: turning into a bloodthirsty zombie and eating all the...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are questioning our very existence deep in an Asian jungle. We watched the 2008 film from Ben Stiller, Tropic Thunder. Both of us have worked on enough film sets to be able to definitively say that, while this movie is a fun, action-packed romp, it could also be a completely factual documentary. That’s how accurate the performances were. W...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are combining their powers to try and make it through this dang thing. We watched the 1994 film from James Yukich, Double Dragon. Every once in a long while, we here at More Movies Please! watch something that makes us wonder why we ever started a movie podcast in the first place. Indeed, sometimes we even wonder why we have eyes to watch...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are riding into desperate villages around the world and kicking some serious butt. We watched the 1999 film from John McTiernan, The 13th Warrior. When you absolutely, positively need to vanquish a pillaging army of cannibalistic, bear hide-wearing terrors, there’s only one group of people to call upon: the freaking Vikings. There’s hardly...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean ain’t afraid of no ghosts. We watched the 2024 film from Gil Kenan, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire. If there’s one thing in this world that I love, it’s a nice and chilly weather system slowly passing through my area. Loads of people in Southern California love this place for its consistently warm weather. I’m not one of those people. I’ve go...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are crawling through some of the dreariest dungeons and fighting some of the pudgiest dragons. We watched the 2023 film from John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. I think this film should be a fair warning to us all: if any of us ever happens to run into Hugh Grant, then we should just smil...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are fulfilling the future that was foretold about us. We watched the 2024 film from Denis Villeneuve, Dune: Part Two. It’s not often that one ends up discovering a timeless prophecy about a destiny that is almost impossible to imagine. It’s a whole other thing when that prophecy turns out to be true. You’d have to be an egomaniac to assume...
