Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens: A Newer Hope
July 01, 2024 07:00 - 1 hour - 42.8 MBOn 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 with an enormous, planet-destroying laser weapon. It’s enough to make you want to pick up your fearsome laser sw...
Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope: May the Force Be With You
June 24, 2024 07:00 - 55 minutes - 37.9 MBOn 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 front of you already. What’s a young person to do when the most demanding mission in anyone’s life falls into yo...
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story: Rebellions Are Built on Hope
June 17, 2024 13:00 - 53 minutes - 36.9 MBOn 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 wall and all your options are looking grim, are you just going to curl up into a ball and hope it’ll all blow over...
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga: Tree Vengeance
June 10, 2024 13:00 - 39 minutes - 27.3 MBOn 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. Beyond pissed. Not only was she stolen from her abundant home but her mother was ruthlessly killed right in front of...
I Saw the TV Glow: Let’s Have a Soup Party!
June 03, 2024 13:00 - 50 minutes - 34.8 MBOn 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 sound familiar, then do we have a film for you! Pop some popcorn, lean back, and get ready to have your mind blown ...
IF: Hey Keith
May 27, 2024 13:00 - 43 minutes - 30.1 MBOn 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 doesn’t mean we always have to act like the people we once were are gone forever. We can still appreciate the be...
The Mummy: You Must Not Read from the Book!
May 20, 2024 13:00 - 48 minutes - 33.5 MBOn 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, you know? It’s kind of a jerk move to keep getting on their case about it. They mean well—Evie is a naturally ...
Turbo Kid: THIS IS MY GNOME STICK!
May 13, 2024 13:00 - 36 minutes - 25.3 MBOn 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 very deadly, wrist-strapped ray gun. The love of a dear robot friend. A brain-bashing gnome stick! Equip you...
Mom and Dad: You’re Grounded!
May 06, 2024 13:00 - 45 minutes - 31.3 MBOn 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 it’s for their own good. I’m assuming you would or do love the children you have. Surely, you wouldn’t want to m...
Cooties: Nap Time, Motherfuckers
April 29, 2024 13:00 - 42 minutes - 29.5 MBOn 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 adults we can find. Ah, those were the salad days. The days when we could spend eight hours stuck in what felt ...
Tropic Thunder: I’m a Lead Farmer, Motherfucker
April 22, 2024 13:00 - 37 minutes - 26.1 MBOn 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. We would never wish having to work with a method actor on any of you, but if you’ve been around one, then you kn...
Double Dragon: But Steven, Why?!
April 15, 2024 07:00 - 31 minutes - 21.7 MBOn 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 movies with. This month’s b-movie episode could end up being just such an occasion. The ‘90s gave us some wonde...
The 13th Warrior: A.K.A. Little Brother
April 08, 2024 13:00 - 41 minutes - 28.5 MBOn 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 ever been a group more bloodthirsty, more fearsome, and more relentless than those Scandinavian bastards. The ...
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire: Tall, Dark, and Horny 😉
April 01, 2024 13:00 - 59 minutes - 41.3 MBOn 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 got to be honest, that chilly demon in this movie didn’t seem all that bad to me. Did it take things too far by k...
Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Theives: Just Fix It with Magic
March 18, 2024 07:00 - 39 minutes - 27.5 MBOn 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 smile and flee as fast as possible. Nothing good ever comes from meeting him. Don’t expect a Notting Hill or Love Actua...
Dune: Part Two: Spicy
March 11, 2024 13:00 - 1 hour - 43 MBOn 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 that you’d grow up to be the messiah for an entire planet. That’s not just something that happens on any rando...
Knights of Badassdom: Stop Reading Creepy Books, Damn It!
March 11, 2024 10:00 - 41 minutes - 28.3 MBOn the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are slapping on our swords and sandals and taking down creepy succubus monsters once and for all. We watched the 2013 film from Joe Lynch, Knights of Badassdom. Put aside any negative thoughts or preconceived notions you might have about the enjoyable activity (lifestyle?) of LARPing, i.e., Live Action Role-Playing. Not only is it a blast, but it just might be your chance to save the world. Our recommendation: go into the LARPing day with the expec...
Madame Web: A Web of Easter Eggs
March 04, 2024 14:00 - 53 minutes - 37.1 MBOn the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are off to the movies to see a film that they won’t soon forget. We watched the 2024 film from S.J. Clarkson, Madame Web. Every so often there comes a movie that becomes the talk of the world. It enters the zeitgeist, becoming a fixation from which no one is immune. It takes up free space in our heads, filling us up with sticky webs of pop culture. Madame Web is just that sort of movie. Has it happened for all the right reasons? We’ll leave that up...
Puppy Love: Dogs Welcome! People Tolerated…
February 26, 2024 08:00 - 49 minutes - 34.3 MBOn the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are letting the love of the darn cutest puppies wash over us! We watched the 2023 film from Richard Alan Reid and Nicholas Fabiano, Puppy Love. I know that these two characters, Nicole and Max, clearly have personal issues that they need to work on. That’s an unassailable fact (and Max probably had a lot more work to do, but who’s keeping score?). But when there are a couple of adorable dogs in the mix? How in the world could anybody be anything bu...
All My Life: Now or Never
February 19, 2024 08:00 - 46 minutes - 32 MBOn the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are following up last episode’s sad story about losing a loved one with an equally sad story. We watched the 2020 film from Marc Meyers, All My Life. We didn’t really plan to have such similar, heartbreaking stories about losing life partners to cancer back-to-back, but here we are. You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and then you have our anti-Valentine’s Day celebration. But this film poses a good question: if you knew for a c...
Spoiler Alert: The View from Under the Christmas Tree
February 12, 2024 08:00 - 52 minutes - 36.2 MBOn the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are here for their loved ones, no matter what it takes for them. We watched the 2022 film from Michael Showalter, Spoiler Alert. Love defies anything and everything. It can surprise you. It can excite you. It can lift you out of the deepest wells of sorrow, despair, and hopelessness. It’s safe to say that it’ll always be there for you if you let it into your life. For Michael Ausiello and Kit Cowan, it was the force that brought them together, and ...
I Love You, Man: Slappa Da Bass!
February 05, 2024 08:00 - 50 minutes - 35 MBOn the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are forming an eternal and powerful bond of friendship. We watched the 2009 film from John Hamburg, I Love You, Man. If there’s anything I know for certain, it’s that long-lasting friendships are based on three things: Life-changing fish tacos. A deep and abiding love of the greatest band of all time, Rush. You’ve got to slappa da bass. Once you’ve got those three things covered, then the friendship is golden. Not even the concern from your fian...
Keanu: I Gotta Have Faith, Faith, Faith
January 29, 2024 08:00 - 49 minutes - 34.1 MBOn the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are on an unstoppable quest to rescue our dearest and cutest kitten. We watched the 2016 film from Peter Atencio, Keanu. Today, we’re wrapping up our celebration of all things Keanu Reeves with a fur-filled adventure story filled with crazy drugs, terrifying hitmen, and probably the most photogenic kitten ever. It also happens to be our B-movie episode of this month. It’s not a B-movie in quality—you’ll hear all about that—but it’s as close as we’r...
John Wick: I’ll Kill Them All, Pt. 2
January 26, 2024 08:00 - 1 hour - 48.4 MBOn the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are vowing to take down all the evil punks who dared to kill our dogs and mess with our lives. We watched all of the John Wick movies! John’s on the run. Big time. You break the rules of the High Table and you’re going to face the consequences. Let’s just say that they’re not inclined to give someone a slap on the wrist. I have one question for those arrogant fools: Do they know who in the world they’re messing with? Do they know the relentless, mu...
John Wick: I’ll Kill Them All, Pt. 1
January 22, 2024 08:00 - 1 hour - 62.5 MBOn the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are vowing to take down all the evil punks who dared to kill our dogs and mess with our lives. We watched all of the John Wick movies! It all started with one heartless, cruel, evil act. One innocent and darling puppy. One bunch of stupid brats who had no clue who they were messing with. The Baba Yaga. Really, they should have just left him alone. Let Wick live his life the way he wanted to live it. Let him grieve his wife’s death in peace. Everyb...
Constantine: Up Yours, Lucifer!
January 15, 2024 08:00 - 52 minutes - 35.9 MBOn the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are exorcising our demons. We watched the 2005 film from Francis Lawrence, Constantine. If there’s something evil… In your neighborhood… Who you gonna call? CONSTANTINE! (Recorded on August 16, 2023) Links to Stuff We Mentioned: Constantine - The Movie Database (TMDB) Constantine trailer - YouTube Keanu Reeves — The Movie Database (TMDB) Beelzebub - Wikipedia Daniel Craig — The Movie Database (TMDB) The Sandman (comic book) - Wikipedia T...
The Matrix: Whoa…, Pt. 2
January 12, 2024 08:00 - 54 minutes - 37.2 MBOn the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are unplugging from the simulation and starting their lives in the real world. We watched all of the Matrix films! The grand conclusion of our mega-episode about The Matrix is here in all its glory! Our dear Keanu deserves nothing less than this. In this episode, Zion is under imminent threat on two fronts: the relentless and prodigious machines and the copy-pasted army of Agent Smiths. It’s up to all of the humans to stop this harrowing onslaught....
The Matrix: Whoa…
January 08, 2024 08:00 - 1 hour - 54.3 MBOn the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are unplugging from the simulation and starting their lives in the real world. We watched all of the Matrix films! This episode was such a doozy that we needed to split it up into two full-length entries. You read that right. This celebration of Keanu Reeves just can’t be contained within an hour! In this episode, we’re introduced to Neo, né Thomas Anderson. He’s lived his entire life plugged into The Matrix, a computer simulation that keeps humans...
Speed: Pop Quiz, Hot Shot
January 01, 2024 08:00 - 45 minutes - 31.6 MBOn the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are keeping this damn bus from dropping below 50 miles per hour. We watched the 1994 film from Jan de Bont, Speed. Is there any better way to kick off the new year than by celebrating one of cinema’s finest actors? In fact, he’s more than that, he’s also one of humanity’s greatest living people! We’re kicking off an entire month of championing a true artist: Keanu Freaking Reeves. This is a moment we’ve been looking forward to for a long time. As ...

December 29, 2023 15:00 - 34 minutes - 24.1 MBOn the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are trying to save our little frozen village from the terror that is Santa Claus. We watched the 2010 film from Jalmari Helander, Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale. You better watch out. You better not cry. You better not pout. I’m telling you why, Santa Claus is coming to steal your children and eat your reindeer… (Recorded on December 11, 2023) Links to Stuff We Mentioned: Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale - The Movie Database (TMDB) Rare Exports...

December 25, 2023 14:00 - 1 hour - 43.9 MBOn the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are discovering that love… actually… is all around. We watched the 2003 film from Richard Curtis, Love Actually. Introducing the movie equivalent of a rock star supergroup, we have a classic Christmas film that stars just about every single British actor you’ve ever seen in your life! You want familiar faces? We’ve actually got ‘em! This behemoth of a film also comes with a story to warm even the most frigid of hearts. By the end of this one, you’l...
Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey: Everything Is Possible
December 18, 2023 13:00 - 43 minutes - 30 MBOn the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are trying to let the whole world know just who the greatest toymaker in all the land truly is. We watched the 2020 film from David E. Talbert, Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey. Tragedy is when the person you trusted the most turns around and stabs you in the back, doubly so when that person is like a child to you. Adventure is when a couple of daring and charming as heck kids venture off and try to make things right in the world, braving dismemb...
Violent Night: Straight Up Their Anuses
December 11, 2023 14:00 - 48 minutes - 33.3 MBOn the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are decking the halls with the bodies of evil home invaders. We watched the 2022 film from Tommy Wirkola, Violent Night. We’re warning you right now—if you think you might be on Santa’s naughty list for ANY reason, then you need to get it together and turn your life around. Donate some money. Volunteer at a shelter. Heck, just be a little bit nicer. You might think that worrying about where you come in on his list is a silly, childish thing, but yo...
The Family Man: What Could Be…
December 04, 2023 08:00 - 46 minutes - 31.8 MBOn the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are wondering how in the heck did they wake up in a world they've never inhabited before. We watched the 2000 film from Brett Ratner, The Family Man. And you may ask yourself, "How do I work this?" And you may ask yourself, "Where is that large automobile?" And you may tell yourself, "This is not my beautiful house." And you may tell yourself, "This is not my beautiful wife." (Recorded on November 22, 2023) Links to Stuff We Mentioned: The Fam...
The Last Airbender: Steven’s Not Having It!
November 27, 2023 08:00 - 37 minutes - 25.6 MBOn the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are subjecting themselves to what may end up being one of the biggest mistakes of their lives. We watched the 2010 film from M. Night Shyamalan, The Last Airbender. Once in a great while there comes a movie that defies all expectations, all logic, all common sense. It defies all sympathy for anyone who might have the misfortune of subjecting their eyeballs to said movie. This time, we’re watching just such a movie. Never say we aren’t willing to pu...
Air Force One: Get Off My Plane!
November 20, 2023 08:00 - 46 minutes - 31.9 MBOn the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are fighting off evil terrorists while on board one of the most famous airplanes in the world. We watched the 1997 film from Wolfgang Petersen, Air Force One. I know that nothing can ever be 100% secure and safe. That’s just not the world we live in. I’d like it to be, but there are certain trade-offs we all need to make if we want to be active participants in life. That being said… You’d think that the vetting process for who’s allowed to work for...
Airplane II: The Sequel: More Boobs Than You Can Shake Your Boobs At!
November 13, 2023 08:00 - 31 minutes - 21.6 MBOn the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are landing this damn space shuttle on the moon even if it kills us! We watched the 1982 film from Ken Finkleman, Airplane II: The Sequel. Do you ever get a feeling of extreme déjà vu while you’re watching a movie? The sort of feeling where you could swear you’ve seen this exact thing before, but maybe with a few slight changes? It’s like the black cat crossing Neo’s path a couple times in The Matrix. Something is wonky in the world, but you’re not...
Con Air: Wrong Place. Wrong Time.
November 06, 2023 08:00 - 56 minutes - 39.2 MBOn the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are just trying to get home to our freaking families, for crying out loud! We watched the 1997 movie from Simon West, Con Air. Don’t you just hate it when you’re finally released from a lengthy stint in prison, you just want to get home to the child you’ve never seen before, and the transport plane you’re on is hijacked by a bunch of violent convicts? If I had a nickel for every time that happened. I’d be a Scrooge McDuck over here. If there’s any...
Man with the Screaming Brain: It Takes Two
October 30, 2023 07:00 - 35 minutes - 24.6 MBOn the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are losing their freaking minds over this month’s b-movie episode. We watched the 2005 film by Bruce Campbell, Man with the Screaming Brain. I mean no disrespect to any Bulgarians whatsoever, but after watching this film, that country is the last place I’ll be going for any kind of brain surgery. The risk of melding my mind with some local taxi driver is just too great! Don’t believe me? Just watch what happens to poor William Cole and tell me that...
Don’t Worry Darling: Digital Roofie
October 23, 2023 07:00 - 1 hour - 41.3 MBOn the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are sure as hell not engaging in any of the gross stuff shown in this movie. We watched the 2022 film from Olivia Wilde, Don’t Worry Darling. It’s a movie like this that makes a person think that maybe all the technological advances we’ve experienced over the last couple decades were maybe a mistake. I love the medical advances, but everything else feels like it could be too much. I sure as hell know that Alice in this film would probably agree. Mo...
The Exorcist: Believer: Seriously, Christ Compels You
October 16, 2023 07:00 - 42 minutes - 29.4 MBOn the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are becoming regular demon hunters these days. We watched the 2023 film from David Gordon Green, The Exorcist: Believer. You know what they say, If one demonic child possession is good, then two has got to be 100% better. That’s what they say, right? Is it just me? In a direct sequel to the horror classic, The Exorcist, this film ups the ante. Two young girls have been taken over and it’s up to their families and neighborhood friends to save their ...
The Exorcist: The Power of Christ Compels You!
October 13, 2023 07:00 - 42 minutes - 29.4 MBOn the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are in a holy and relentless fight for their very souls. We watched the 1973 film from William Friedkin, The Exorcist. All it takes is one measly possession to completely ruin someone’s day. That’s exactly what happened to young Regan and her doting single mother. You’re living your life and then POW! Suddenly, you’re a prisoner in your own body. Surely in the pantheon of all-time great horror film, The Exorcist does a great job of living up to its...
Smile: Say Cheese and Die!
October 09, 2023 07:00 - 46 minutes - 32 MBOn the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are just trying to get people to believe that there’s something after us, damn it! We watched the 2022 film from Parker Finn, Smile. Once you witness its horror, it’s stuck with you… forever and ever. Unfortunately, that “forever and ever” is only something like a week at most, but yeah, it’s sticking around to torment you. Double unfortunately, the “it” in that previous paragraph isn’t something like a delicious bowl of ice cream. No, it’s a repre...
Evil Dead/Evil Dead Rise: Come Get Some!
October 02, 2023 07:00 - 1 hour - 71.6 MBOn the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are trying to stay alive and avoid all bodily fluids. We watched the remake of Evil Dead and its sequel, Evil Dead Rise. We’re kicking off a whole month of spooky films a pair of the goriest, bloodiest, most grotesque creations ever made. Seriously, Evil Dead probably set records for how much fake blood was used during its production. More important than record-setting is this most dire of warnings: if you come across a creepy-looking book, either ...

Welcome to Marwen: Die Nazi Scum!
September 18, 2023 07:00 - 48 minutes - 33.1 MBOn the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are imagining that we’re saving our friends from the worst scourge on the planet. We watched the 2018 film from Robert Zemeckis, Welcome to Marwen. We’re encouraging you to do two things this week: Read up on Mark Hogancamp, the focus of this film, and watch the documentary Marwencol to get a first hand view of this fascinating person. If you’re dealing with trauma of your own, seek out help and companionship. The story of Mark Hogancamp extends ...
Cast Away: I’ll Be Right Back(?)
September 11, 2023 07:00 - 59 minutes - 41.1 MBOn the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are weeping over the loss of our dearest volleyball pals. We watched the 2000 film from Robert Zemeckis, Cast Away. I don’t mean to alarm you, but after watching this film, it’s in the best interest of everyone that we all learn what it takes to survive on a desert island. I’m not saying it’s bound to happen to us all, but you never know what the future might hold. A good primer to this subject, fortunately, is this very film. I wouldn’t say that t...
The Pursuit of Happyness: Little Parts Can Change the World
September 04, 2023 07:00 - 1 hour - 42 MBOn the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are just trying to do right by our kids, dang it! We watched the 2006 film from Gabriele Muccino, The Pursuit of Happyness. It’s hard enough just to get through life when you’ve only got yourself to deal with. Throw in a young child and a struggling personal business and you’ve got the makings of a personal catastrophe. That’s the reality Chris Gardner found himself dealing with after his partner left him. He had a young son, a mountain of nearly u...
Birdemic: Shock and Terror
August 28, 2023 07:00 - 51 minutes - 35.7 MBOn the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are joined by returning special guest, Greg Dengler, to stop this deadly scourge of murderous birds once and for all. We watched the 2010 film from James Nguyen, Birdemic: Shock and Terror. Dear listeners, we may have finally done it. I think we may have seen what could be the worst film ever made. If it’s not at the top of the list, then it’s in the top three. Without question. After all, it’s got every bad thing imaginable: horrifying visual effe...
The Conversation: They Hear Everything
