MOVIES WITH MY MOTHER

Mom and I sat down to watch Guy Ritchie's Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. We talked trivia, the director and the Madonna of it all. We had a lovely pub grub fish 'n chips meal and did a basic TikTok. We discussed a bad review we got too. Fun was had by all. I have to apologize for some farty sounding squeaking. I had my microphone too close to my face the whole time, and with a computer, a notebook and a couple of cats in my lap, it was hard to get comfortable LOL.

Mom and I sat down to watch Night Of The Comet. We were...disappointed, though it's easy to see why it's a Cult Classic. We had a grab n' go style food court breakfast smorgasbord, talked for 2 seconds about the director, the end of the world and I troubleshot Mom's favorite news app on the Roku.

Mm and I sat down and watched V For Vendetta. We chatted the director, trivia and stats and had a theme meal of Egg In A Hole's with a side of hash and fruit. We get a little critical of current events and my brain melts down at the end. Go watch our accompanying TikTok.

Mom and I sat down to watch Ronin, a movie I was sure would cleanse her palate after The Shining. We had a lovely charcuterie board lunch and talked about the director, trivia and stats.

Mom and I finally sat down and watched The Shining. We didn't have very much snow to accompany it, but we enjoyed it nevertheless. We had a room service meal from the Waldorf-Astoria in Chicago because the room service at The Stanley was all steak and I had to think of Mom's digestion. We talked trivia, stats and the Kubrick of it all.

Mom and I sit down to watch this Christmas classic. We had lovely lettuce wrap sandwiches and talked about the movie. We get a little political at the end, so put on your tinfoil hat and join us!

Mom and I sat wrapped up Halloween 2025 with Dracula 1931. There is no food in this movie, so as a nod to Bela Lugosi, we had goulash and boy was it good.

Mom and I are doubling back to Halloween 2025 and we watched the 1931 James Whale classic, Frankenstein. We talked about James Whale, the making of the movie and trivia. We had a lovely theme meal of our family's version of Rouladen and we made a ridiculous TikTok

Mom and I had a real celebration going on as we watched our 100th movie!

Ending our streak of favorite movies on our way to Episode 100, Mom and I sat down and watched Abigail. A bright spot in Universal Pictures Dark Universe, this movie is great. We talked the directors and trivia, and Mom learned more about Found Footage Films, and learned that Abigail was not Found Footage, to her relief. Find this movie, it really is one of the better horror movies of the last few years.

Mom and I sat down with a good meatball and enjoyed The Wedding Singer for the umpteenth time. If you haven't seen this, it's time to move out from under your rock. The soundtracks are bomb. We talked the director, the trivia and just how well Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore mesh on screen.

Mom and I sat down and watch an unhinged 80's parody, Totally Awesome. This movie had next to no trivia and mom wasn't able to dig too much up on Neil Brennan. It's on YouTube to watch in the shittiest resolution possible, but get your hands on a copy of this, you will love it.

Mom and I sat down and watched one of my favorite movies, Ready Player One. We had pizza as a theme meal, since there is no eating in the movie. We talked Spielberg, trivia and about my cats, who fought through the entire movie.

Continuing on our countdown to episode 100, Mom and I sat down and watched one of her all time favorites, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. We talked the trivia, the director and the James Bond of it all. We had a lovely breakfast theme meal and did our TikTok in the car.Follow us as we continue to watch our favorite movies leading up to episode 100. Follow us on TikTok, Facebook and Instagram.

Continuing our Countdown to Episode 100, Mom and I sat down to watch one of my favorites, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. It's not a good movie, by any stretch, which makes it great! We talk the director, trivia and the Sean Connery of it all. In an effort to be a healthier version of steampunk, we had lettuce wrap sandwiches and lemon pound cake as our themed meal. Keep following us as we make our way to Episode 100! We will be doing our lost episode movie, Identity. Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and TikTok for videos and updates.

Continuing on with our Countdown to Episode 100, Mom and I sat down and watched one of her favorite movies, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. We had a lovely boiled dinner and talked trivia, the making of and the director. I still have lots of questions about the Oompa Loompas.

Continuing on our Countdown to 100, Mom and I watched Billy Elliot. We talked trivia, the director and a little bit of the musical. This movie is a sweet story, with a bomb soundtrack.

Mom and I sat down and watch the ridiculous, Dude, Where's My Car? We had a lovely Garlic Chicken meal and had a limited conversation about the director and trivia, as there wasn't much on either. We also talked tattoos and stoner movies. Continue with us on our way to Episode 100!

Mom and I started our Countdown to Episode 100, with Byzantium. This is one of my favorite movies, by one of my favorite directors, Neil Jordan. The recording was a little wonky because the first twenty minutes got doubled when someone's ear touched my computer screen. I'm not naming names, but it starts with Tallulah. Prepare to hear me gushing. And continue to follow along as we continue to countdown to episode 100. LOL this is the first time Mom and I have planned a block of 10 movies. We are NEVER this prepared.

Mom and I watched Mystery Men. Watch our TikTok to see our ridiculous super hero get ups. We talked trivia, stats and the director and had a wonderful diner food theme meal.

Mom and I channeled our inner-punks and watched Return of The Living Dead. We talked Dan O'Bannon, the cast and trivia and ate a delicious chicken pot pie-type concoction.

Mom suggested we watch one of my "scary summer camp" movies, and boy, did she step in it. We had a kids camp themed meal of corndogs and macaroni and cheese, and mostly talked trivia. I expressly told my to go light on research because I didn't want the ending spoiled for her. If you haven't seen this movie, find it!

Mom and I sat down to a lovely spaghetti meal and watched Heathers. We talked stats, all the young actors in Hollywood that weren't in the movie, how school violence wasn't really a thing when this came out and then how my 80s/90s sucked LOL.

Mom and I sat down and watched Drop Dead Gorgeous. We had a lovely midwest meal of meatloaf and mashed potatoes and talked trivia and stats.

With the passing of one Pope and the installation of the new one, Mom thought we should watch a movie with a Pope. Of the list she gave me, I knew this was currently streaming. This is a blind watch for both of us and to say we were surprised it wasn't trash is an understatement. We had a meal fit for Pope Francis and talked about the very limited info on both the director and the trivia. Go find this movie...it had it's moments of being formulaic, but overall, it was an OK show.

Mom and I had to rent Death Becomes Her! But it was worth it. We had big salads for the theme meal. We talked Robert Zemeckis, trivia, the death of the Pope and my trip to Cleveland.

For 4/20, it was a no brainer that we watch Half Baked. We talk Tamra Davis and the Beastie Boys, we talk the feud between Dave Chappelle and Neal Brennan and trivia and politics. We have a stoner's delight meal of pizza, chips and dip, funyuns and candy.

Mom and I watched Dirty Work, a lesser known cult classic from the late 90s. We watched it on Tubi-and we recommend that you find this. We talked trivia, the NBC ad ban and the Bob Saget of it all.

First of all, we put a theme song in. Let us know what you think!In remembrance of Brandon Lee, near the anniversary of his traguc death, Mom and I sit dow and watch his final film, The Crow. We had Coney Island diner food and talked the director, trivia and the circumstances that lead to Brandon Lee's death.

Mom and I sat down and watched a classic 90s comedy that played on a loop on Comedy Central. Now it's out of print and hard to find. But seriously...try to find it! There wasn't much on the director or trivia-wise, so we just riff most of the time.

Mom and I sat down and watched Freaks, Tod Browning's film about circus sideshow folk. We had circus food, corndogs and pretzels, peanuts and candy as our theme meal and we discuss Tod Browning and whether or not this film was exploitation. We watched this on Tubi, free with commercials. Go watch this film. It really is worth the watch.

To give Mom a break, we watched an old favorite: Best in Show. We talked stats and trivia and Mom renamed Christoper Guest Peter. We watched this movie free with commercials on YouTube.

After his passing, Mom and I sat down and watched a David Lynch film. Mom said I'm not allowed to pick movies anymore LOL. We talked Lynch, trivia and the Amish-who I saw in my dentist journey.

Mom and I dipped our toes into Hammer Films with Captain Kronos Vampire Hunter. It's not a great movie, but it will always have a soft place in my heart. We talked about the director and Hammer Films and then move into hot topics and recent deaths. The movie didn't have any eating in it, so we had pub grub and it was great.

To send 2024 out with a laugh, Mom and I sat down and watched Let's Go To Prison. It's not a cult classic, per se, but it's hilarious nonetheless. We busted out the prison trays and had chicken sandwiches, fries, greens and hawaiian punch. This movie had hardly any trivia, so we talked Bob Odenkirk, 2024 prison stats and a Movies With My Mother year in review.

Mom and I sat down for a festive, Christmas type movie and watched Gremlins. We talked trivia and the director...but Mom got Joe Dante and Richard Donner all mixed up LOL. We had a themed meal of oven fried chicken, mashed potatoes and corn, it was delicious. We did a TikTok...if you're not following us there, get hip because we're ridiculous.

Mom and I sat down with an English Breakfast and watched Highlander. We discussed the director's music video past and trivia and logisitics....how old was the Kurgan and if he was older than Ramirez, why was he white?

Mom and I sat down with a White Russian and watched The Big Lebowski. We ate nachos as part of a bowling alley bar menu and talked The Coen Brothers and trivia.

Mom and I conclude our Public Domain horror scare-tacular with 1922's Nosferatu. We had a lovely carving roast dinner and talked trivia, the Dracula litigation and the life and death of F.W. Murnau. The copy we watched was very muddy and the music was oddly jazzy...so if you go looking for this, find a better version. This is our 70th episode!! Who knew we'd get this far? Thanks for being with us on this ride!

Mom and I had a little party to watch House On Haunted Hill. We had hors d'oeuvres and a cocktail and talked William Castle, the Ennis House and trivia.

In this episode, Mom and I sit down and watch obscure cult classic Carnival of Souls. We talked the director, trivia, money and the Drake of it all. We had sandwiches from Panera as our themed meal.

Mom and I are starting off our Spooky Season early. This year we are going to watch Public Domain horror movies. We kicked things off with the classic, Night of The Living Dead. We talked Romero, trivia, The Jackson 5 and P Diddy. Our theme meal was diner food, I had breakfast and mom had chicken fingers, it was delicious.

Mom wanted to do a cult classic from the year she graduated high school, in honor of her 50th reunion. And oh boy, I found a doozy for her. We watched The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. We had a theme meal of smoked sausage and egg noodles (my personal favorite). We spent a lot of time going over the facts, the rumors and the money. What an interesting tale!

Mom and I sat down for a midnight movie and watched Batman (1989). Michael Keaton is my personal favorite Batman. We had a lovely omelette breakfast and talked trivia and local events.

Mom and I suited up and watched Ghostbusters. We had a lovely Stir-fry theme meal and talked Ivan Reitman, Bill Murray and trivia.

Mom and I sat down and watched a film, like Mom has never seen before: foreign and nearly silent. We watched 1932's Vampyr. The Criterion cut we watched was comprised of bits and pieces from the German and French releases. The English release has been lost to time. There was no food in this movie, so we just had a nice diner breakfast. We talked vampire lore, vampire film history then made fun of JD Vance a little. All in all, a good session. We hope you enjoy this one.

Mom and I sat down and watched Terminator 2: Judgement Day. We had a Mexican themed meal and talked trivia. We even mentioned Bowling Green State University, but we neglected to mention that Robert Patrick, the T-1000, went to college there.

Mom and I sat down and watched one of her favorites, Ace Ventura Pet Detective. We had a yummy stadium food themed meal of hot dogs and tater tots. We talked trivia, what the director was up to, the presidential debate, women's healthcare in America and how I learned how to ride a bike-it was the 80s, so you know it was a traumatic event.

Mom and I sat down and watched Mad Max Fury Road. We had large, beautiful salads as our theme meal, in reference to the lush greenery at the Citadel. We talked George Miller and trivia then slipped into how the present is its own dystopian hellscape in need of a reboot.

Mom and I sat down with a beautiful Thai lunch and watched Session 9. We talked trivia and about the director, then gave our tips for hair care and our thoughts on corporate greed. Good times. Regardless, find this movie. It's a great watch.
