9th Story: Episode 17

March 13, 2014

For Episode 17, Mike Cerra (a/k/a “The Stepfather” from The Caveman Mafia) drops by the 9th Story Studio. Still basking in the afterglow of correctly picking many of this year’s Oscar winners, The Stepfather joins your 9th Story hosts Dan Foytik and Craig Weber to discuss:



  • “Moovies” – That’s right, Moovies. A new film genre dedicated solely to those films that feature predominant bovine roles. Some of the films include “Throw Momma From the Train”, “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” and “Twister”. Moo, everyone…very moo!
  • “I Am I” – Where does the character stop and where does the artist begin? Did Philip Seymour-Hoffman “lose himself” in his Death of Salesman character? Did Heath Ledger get too deeply involved in the Joker’s twisted nugget? Is the tortured artist a relevant cliché?
  • “And The Winner Is..” – As a tribute to the late Philip Seymour-Hoffman The Stepfather makes his recommendations for his best work. Spoiler Alert: It’s Owning Mahoney and Doubt.
  • “Deep Impact” – Which actors continue to “bring it” time after time? Who is just phoning it in? What creates a resonant character?
  • “God Save The Queen” – Why are all the heroes and villains played by Brits?
  • “Body Double” – Were Jack Black and Philip Seymour-Hoffman often vying for the same roles? Could Black have been “Scotty” in Boogie Nights?
  • “Full Nelson” – Ozzie Nelson? Nelson W. Pyles? No, Mystery Science Theater 3000 host Mike Nelson and his Big Book of Movie Mega-Cheese. We cite Nelson’s “cheese qualifiers” and talk about some great moments in bad movies including but not limited to…

• Road House – The best of the worst. A testament to the 80’s. Monster Trucks, Professional Wrestlers and The Jeff Healey Band. (No one ever blames Healey. He couldn’t read the script.)
• Fear – Before Mark Wahlberg had a prosthetic penis and before William L. Peterson found fame on CSI, they sullied our memories forever with this epic failure.
• Blood and Donuts – Fore! A vampire is awakened after getting hit in the head with a golf ball. Then there’s some stuff about blood…and some donuts. Thanks Canada! Take off, you hosers! And take this turd with you.



  • “Golden Years” – Much to the chagrin of The Stepfather, we try to convince him that the Golden Age of Hollywood does have some redeeming moments. But, Mikey isn’t buying it. Listen to him tell us why critics are all wrong about classics like “Gone With The Wind” and “Citizen Kane”
  • Errata:

    • Craig gets it wrong when he says Liz Sheridan (Mrs. Ochmonek from Alf and Jerry’s mom on Seinfeld) is the mother of Nicolette Sheridan.
    • Dan gets it wrong when he confuses real life actor Ethan Hawke with fictional character Ethan Hunt (from Mission: Impossible) and when he thinks Mickey Rourke not Mickey Rooney was in Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
