Dan WhiteHOST
There's never a time I don't enjoy someone driving along and suddenly realising that a car is chasing them.
Dan WhiteHOST
It can be a thriller or a horror film.
Dan WhiteHOST
Love that.
Dan WhiteHOST
And this sub-genre, the sort of something from hell, you know, the sort of cuckoo, the someone who comes into a household and sort of disrupts from within, I'm never not down to watch those.
Matt ColgateHOST
This is like, this is not subtext.
Matt ColgateHOST
This is spoken out loud several times in this film.
Matt ColgateHOST
And it's illustrated with, I think, like, it must be one of the best first scenes I've seen in a horror film for a really long
Dan WhiteHOST
time.
Steven CadwellHOST
Yes, yes.
Steven CadwellHOST
He stars in Stepfather, where he's one of those people that has two families.
Steven CadwellHOST
I think he marries in, so he's the stepfather in both situations.
Steven CadwellHOST
But at one point, it's a really great moment.
Steven CadwellHOST
And then he just goes on a killing spree.
Steven CadwellHOST
So that should be a Halloween staple.
Steven CadwellHOST
If you are someone who watches movies for Halloween, look up Stepfather, watch Stepfather.

Paul RootHOST
It's like, man, there's something so cool and mystical and magical about that.
Paul RootHOST
I'm going to end up talking a lot about some movies that came before this and came after this.
Paul RootHOST
And Michael, I don't know if you've seen The Stepfather from the 80s, but we just did that for the podcast.
Paul RootHOST
And man...
ErinHOST
Right in the heart.
ErinHOST
So this cop reminded me of, I was trying to think of like inept cops that I've seen in movies where I'm like, why is this character even a character? He reminds me of the cop in Stepfather.
BenGUEST
I don't remember an inept cop and stepfather either.
BenGUEST
Why am I not paying attention to the cop's behavior?
Liam BillinghamHOST
Did I miss anything?
Brian KeiperGUEST
I would, uh, put The Stepfather in there.
Brian KeiperGUEST

Okay

Liam BillinghamHOST
For folks that don't know, what's The Stepfather, Brian?

Uh, the film begins with him getting ready, taking a shower.
Paul RootHOST
