On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are fighting the man from taking our home… with a little help from our (robo) friends. We watched the 1987 film from Matthew Robbins, *batteries not included.

Sometimes the “little green men” from outer space aren’t so green or scary. Sometimes they’re little UFOs. Sometimes they’re our friends. And sometimes they have little UFO babies.

Not all alien stories need to be creepy or scary. They don’t have to be murderous Xenomorphs or terrifying tripods from Mars. They can be our little buddies.

The next time you hear something go bump in the night, let’s assume that we’ll find new friends who will fix all of our problems. That’s what I want us to learn from this delightful film.

On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are venturing into the wild robotic world of the 1980s. We watched the 1986 film from John Badham and its 1988 sequel from Kenneth Johnson, Short Circuit and Short Circuit 2.

In a possible future filled with Terminators, RoboCops, and M3GANs, we implore you to find the robo-humanity inside your processing units and be more like Johnny 5.

He represents all that we should strive to be: curious, forgiving, and friendly. He’s a companion to all who deserve him. He’s the hero we need in these dark times.

We’re kicking off a whole month of ‘80s robot movies, so buckle in and get ready for some delightfully cheesy, yet still charming, cinema experiences.

On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are scoring touchdowns and hydrating our teams. We watched the 1998 film from Frank Coraci, The Waterboy.

As we barrel inexorably toward the most inevitable of American pseudo-holidays, the Super Bowl, I think it’s a good time to remind all of us what Mama always taught us:

Foosball is the devil.

You know what isn’t the devil? An ice cold glass of high quality H₂O. Whether it’s wrasslin’ a gator or winning the big game, if there’s one thing that we can all learn from Mr. Bobby Boucher, it’s that hydration is essential.

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 going to be a lot more careful on the roads. Not that I think any of you would kidnap, imprison, or hobble either of us, but… Well, you know… You never can be too sure about these things.

We still love you all though! And we hope that you enjoy another week of Kathy Bates lovin’ with her Oscar-winning performance. It’s a doozy!

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 fondly.

Wait, did I say “joy”? Did I refer to it “fondly”? I must be off my rocker today, because puberty is none of those things for anybody. Nowhere is that truth better depicted in the story of Margaret and her evolving life.

For week two of our Kathy Bates appreciation month, we’ve got a heart-warming classic story. Enjoy the film and join us in loving a great performance by one of cinema’s all-time greats.

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 dismemberment, a heap of the freaking Klan, and a whole soupçon of literal cannibalism? You get this incredible film, of course!

Who would have ever guessed those points would also describe a movie about intergenerational storytelling and illicit lesbian feelings? We sure as heck didn’t. What better way to kick off this wonderful month of love?

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 wild one. If you weren’t alive back then, like most of the cast of this film, then take our word for it—all of this actually happened. If you were alive, then shhhh… keep it a secret!

To kick off this new year—25 freaking years after the subject of this film—we’re making Y2K our B-movie of the month. Will it be brilliant, a flunder, or the dreaded blunder?

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 proverb that revenge is a dish best served cold. When you’re in the far northern part of Finland, where temperatures can plummet down to -60º F (around -50º C), then the only temperature revenge can be served is freaking freezing.

Let this film be a lesson to us all. If you ever happen to meet a grizzled looking Finlander who’s on a determined trek, then stay the hell away from them. Seriously. I’m trying to save your life here.
