Summary

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 shitty cop characters who add nothing to the film!
