MOVIE REQUESTS: Amy Sedaris Requests THE ELEPHANT MAN (1980) and BABE (1995)

Hello, and welcome to the ninth episode of “Movie Requests!” This is the series where I take film requests from celebrity guests, I review said suggestions, and find out if our tastes are a match! I would like to remind everyone that these recommendations are given by real people. No fake identities, no AI… This is a special series being done in honor of Scene Before’s tenth anniversary.

So far, this series has mostly been a success. Eight movies have been reviewed so far, and only one has been issued a negative score. Even if the score is disappointing, I am nevertheless thankful to everyone for giving me a look into their cinematic palette. This series has offered me plenty of new experiences, most of which have been fulfilling.

As a reminder, you can watch these episodes right here on Flicknerd.com, but the absolute fastest way to know when episodes drop is to subscribe to my YouTube channel! Also, hit the notification bell, because who doesn’t enjoy extra credit? Want some more credit? Hit the like button! It gives you cookies! And I am absolutely, positively, not making that up!

The latest review of the series is being requested by Amy Sedaris! She is an actress and comedian known for television shows including “Strangers with Candy,” “BoJack Horseman,” “At Home with Amy Sedaris,” and “The Mandalorian.” You can also find her in movies including “Elf,” “Puss in Boots,” “Is This Thing On?,” and “Jennifer’s Body.”

As a reminder, Movie Requests is a limited series featuring 15 very special guests. But today’s guest, Amy Sedaris, is extra special, as she happens to be the first of the 15 who agreed to be in the series! In fact, when I recruited her, I was aiming for 10 guests! Not to mention, this series was going to be under a different name entirely. I was going to call this series “The X Files,” as X is the Roman numeral for 10, and it is the tenth anniversary. Regardless of how things ended up, I would like to thank Amy Sedaris for saying, “I’ll do it,” on October 25th, 2025. A Saturday night that will be gloriously remembered as the day I committed myself to doing this series.

Amy, I cannot thank you enough.

To watch Amy Sedaris give me 10 to 15 seconds of her time that ultimately resulted in many hours of effort to give you the best episode I can, click the video at the top of the page! As a reminder, Sedaris is not the only guest in this series! To find out who else is in the series, take a look at the poster above! The next episode date is yet to be determined, likely sometime next month, but the next guest is going to be actress Melissa Barrera, known for appearing in films like “Abigail” and “In the Heights.” Once again, please subscribe to my YouTube channel, or follow Scene Before with an email or WordPress account to stay up to date on the latest episodes of Movie Requests!
