Mom Explains Minecraft (and Other Surprise Guests)

What happens when our mom watches the Minecraft movie without ever having played the game? She crashes the pod to explain it in the most hilarious and mom-est way possible. Then, just when you think the surprises are over—Dad jumps in with his hot take on Reacher Season 3. In this family-packed episode of the Friday Night Movie Podcast, hosts Lily and Shai also review buzzworthy titles including Back in Action (the action-comedy starring Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz), Twisters (the thrilling sequel to Twister), The Amateur (a fresh espionage drama), and The Music Store, a unique indie gem written, directed by, and starring Joe Gillette.   Sign up for the Friday Night Movie Newsletter for giveaways, curated episode playlists from the hosts and guests (including our mom), and at MOST one email per month (and probably fewer).  Closed captions for this episode are available via the player on the official Friday Night Movie homepage, the Podbean app and website, and YouTube.  The Friday Night Movie Family supports the following organizations: The Red Tent Fund | HIAS | Equal Justice Initiative | Asian American Journalists Association | The Entertainment Community Fund.
