Talking Movies with My Mom

On the Season 6 premiere of Talking Movies with My Mom, we combine this season’s installment of our "Directors’ First Movies" series with our first episode tradition of duos to cover two pairs of directors and their first movies – John Requa & Glenn Ficarra ("I Love You Phillip Morris") and the Daniels ("Swiss Army Man"). We wade into the messiness of how keeping secrets can keep loved ones apart; why a leap of faith doesn’t always stick the landing; and the poignancy of a literal artsy-fartsy film. 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.

The sixth season of Talking Movies with My Mom promises to be the mother of all seasons as this son and mom duo takes on favorite genres like time travel films, underrated animated movies, and the return of the Disney Mystery Bowl™, all from a "head" (Jackson) and "heart" (Tamara) perspective.

La Plaça és aquell lloc on es parla de tot, des de política a problemes del dia a dia, de família a immigració. També és el centre on hi passen coses ben diferents, des de festes majors a fets delictius. Així doncs, en aquest espai d'entrevistes diàries parlarem cada dia amb protagonistes diferents de coses ben variades.

On today’s second bonus episode of Talking Movies with My Mom, we’re celebrating Valentine’s Day with the unconventional couple movies "Her" and "The Shape of Water." We deep dive into how difficult it must be to compete with 641 other guys for the love of your life; how a well-placed "Easter egg" can lead to a fairy tale romance; and how these unconventional love stories make us feel conventionally human. This episode is inspired by Jackson’s short story, "Our First and Last Date," in the food horror anthology "Consumed: a horror and dark fiction anthology," published by Arbutus Studios. The book, which will be released on March 3, 2026, is available for pre-order on Amazon or wherever you find your books.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 5’s first bonus episode of Talking Movies with My Mom, we begin the new year with a look back on our Mount Rushmore of movies from 2025. Like last year, here’s how it works: the four heads on Mount Rushmore are assigned "Best of" categories and we pick our favorite movies that represent each one. And for the second time, neither of us knows which movies the other one chooses. Now because categories like "Best Comedy" and "Best Drama" are so done, we came up with our own list:"Best Movie that Deserved Better"; "Best Heebie-Jeebies Movie";"Best All-the-Feels Movie";"Best Out-of-this-World Movie"; And one to grow on — "Favorite Movie of the Year."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 Season 5 finale of Talking Movies with My Mom, we’re joined by special guest Mallary Tenore Tarpley, author of the memoir "Slip: Life in the Middle of Eating Disorder Recovery," who helps us kick-start the holidays by talking about three movies based on best-selling memoirs — "Persepolis," "The Glass Castle," and "Can You Ever Forgive Me?"Join us as we travel to a time when forging literary letters required dozens of typewriters; wearing a Michael Jackson pin meant being a public pariah; and the hardest lesson to learn was accepting your parents as they are — flaws and all. A sentiment that Mallary brings home while reading a passage from her book. 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 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." We discover Krypto the Superdog’s (un)likely origin story, that the similarities between Bob & Doug & their parents are more than meets the eye, and how a son’s enthusiastic persuasion can lead to the most unexpected casting.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.

Stay for the conversation about what makes a biopic — the facts of the life or the spirit of the man. And, of course, the singing (Monte, not us). 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’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.
