Our month of John List coverage wraps up with Taye Diggs in the Tubi title Stepfather (2026). Aside from a great lead performance, this one is a dud. Not only is it strangely more of a remake of the 2009 film, but it reverts back to problematic/inaccurate depictions of mental health and features way too many s****y cop characters who add nothing to the film!

Our second John List title is Nelson McCormick's 2009 remake, The Stepfather starring Dylan Walsh and (often shirtless) Penn Badgley. It's bigger and longer and gender swaps the teen character...but curiously doesn't do anything with the newfound male energy. Plus: queer connections; questioning Walsh's casting; and joking about how 2000s era this film is. Wanna connect with the show?
