The Stepfather: Thank You for Your Service, Jerry!

This week on Last Night We Watched, the boys dive headfirst into 1987’s The Stepfather — a Lifetime movie with a low body count, a protagonist with a quick move to frontal nudity, and a tone that can’t decide if it's horror, Hallmark, or just horny.Brandon tries to defend the "batshit charm" of Terry O’Quinn’s unsettlingly committed performance, while Matthew and Brett tag-team it with jokes, critiques, and pure bewilderment over the film’s Lifetime-movie energy, sudden nudity, and utter lack of suspense. From stepdads and suspicious psychiatrists to tragic music scores and true crime side quests, no topic is safe. Not even Drew Barrymore’s coke phase.Bonus: A chaotic tangent on Mac and Me, food patriotism, and the sociological impact of “I’m the stepdad who stepped up” t-shirts.🔪 If looks could kill, then you could be a stepfather, baby.
