On today’s episode of Talking Movies with My Mom, we travel to Canada for this season’s installment of our "Oh, the Places We’ll Go" series. Our first stop is "Scanners," where we expose the cold hard truth about scanner on scanner action, making a cult classic on the fly, and how Canadian Nice creeps in even when murdering the future.Next up, we cross the Northern border into comedy with a big swig of "Strange Brew."

On today’s episode of Talking Movies with My Mom, we’re observing Halloween by sinking our teeth into two deliciously deviant movies — "Ravenous" and "Bones and All."

On today’s episode of Talking Movies with My Mom, we travel to Mexico for this season’s installment of our "Oh, the Places We’ll Go" series. Our first stop is "Y tu mama tambien," where we lay bare the idea that sex-fueled teenage road trip movies can be surprisingly poignant, winning the "prize" can come with unforeseen consequences, and an end-credit song can add an unexpected exclamation point to a movie’s themes. Next up, we cross the border into B-Horror with "Santo vs. the Vampire Women." We honor its star, luchador El Santo, for his enduring legacy as a pop culture icon and folk hero, grapple with the concept of werewolf vampires, and pin down Santo’s playbook for how to kill the undead with crosses, sunlight, and a blast of pyrotechnics.For additional information, resources, and a transcript of the episode, visit https://www.podcastics.com/podcast/talking-movies-with-my-mom/ You can also follow us on Instagram @talkingmovieswithmymom.

On Season 2’s first bonus episode of Talking Movies with My Mom, we celebrate our country with two of our favorite patriotic movies, “Saving Private Ryan” and “Team America: World Police.” We reflect on the sacrifices made on D-Day and beyond, the emotional punch of “the knife scene,” and how a montage song became one for the textbooks. For additional information, resources, and a transcript of the episode, visit https://www.podcastics.com/podcast/talking-movies-with-my-mom/ You can also follow us on Instagram @talkingmovieswithmymom.

On the Season 2 finale of Talking Movies with My Mom, we’re going back to where it began for two of our favorite directors – Peter Jackson ("Bad Taste") and Robert Rodriguez ("El Mariachi"). We consider the power of youthful energy and scrappy ingenuity when making a movie on a low budget, how a first film foreshadows a director’s vision and style, and the life lesson of using seagulls to break your fall.  For additional information, resources, and a transcript of the episode, visit https://www.podcastics.com/podcast/talking-movies-with-my-mom/ You can also follow us on Instagram @talkingmovieswithmymom.

On today’s episode of Talking Movies with My Mom, we travel to Australia for this season’s installment of our “Oh, the Places We’ll Go” series. Our first stop is “Mad Max,” where we appreciate George Miller’s awe-inspiring world-building, the serendipitous nature of the first-in-a-franchise screenplay, and a good live-action eye pop. Next up, we journey to the 1880s Outback with “The Proposition.” We ponder whether civilization can ever really be civilized, when the unbreakable bond between brothers should be broken, and the meaning behind ghost baby. For additional information, resources, and a transcript of the episode, visit https://www.podcastics.com/podcast/talking-movies-with-my-mom/ You can also follow us on Instagram @talkingmovieswithmymom.

On a super-sized edition of “Talking Movies with My Mom,” we hit the concert film circuit with Raoul Hernandez (music journalist for 35+ years and former Music Editor of The Austin Chronicle), who breaks down the music side of Prince’s “Sign ‘o’ the Times,” Metallica’s “Through the Never,” and the Rolling Stones’ “Gimme Shelter.” Raoul helps us navigate the highs and lows of the concert film genre by spotlighting all the ways sounds and visuals naturally fit together, the unconventional wardrobe choices attendees should embrace at metal shows, and the lasting legacy of musical geniuses. For additional information, resources, and a transcript of the episode, visit https://www.podcastics.com/podcast/talking-movies-with-my-mom/ You can also follow us on Instagram @talkingmovieswithmymom.

On today’s episode of “Talking Movies with My Mom,” we honor Roger Corman, who passed away on May 9, by celebrating two of our favorite Corman movies, "Death Race 2000” and "Slumber Party Massacre II.” Nicknamed the "King of the Bs,” Corman proved that entertainment can be made on the cheap with an active imagination and creativity. We reflect on ways Corman’s profound legacy has impacted cinema for generations, including how he gave up-and-coming filmmakers permission to make movies in their unique styles and visions as well as how he consistently delivered what his audiences’ craved while being true to his heart.For additional information, resources, and a transcript of the episode, visit https://www.podcastics.com/podcast/talking-movies-with-my-mom/ You can also follow us on Instagram @talkingmovieswithmymom.
