TV With My Mom

It's been awhile, but we are back! And so are the Hargreeve's siblings for season 2 of Netflix's Umbrella Academy.

Stick around for the word of wisdom and maybe drop my mom a line at tvwithmymom@gmail.com . Hang in there, everybody!

We are back! TV With My Mom believes Black Lives Matter so we took a little hiatus so that all our viewers could listen to some more important voices the past few weeks. This week Mom and I discuss the super dark HBO series, Perry Mason. Heads up and trigger warning, this show is violent. Enjoy!

This week on the podcast Mom and I look through our watchlists and bring you some more out of the box TV choices for you to check out. Stay home, stay safe, and watch TV! Extra special shout of the week this week to all the folks working in hospitals to process all the coronavirus tests coming in. We appreciate you!

This week, Mom and I discuss a show that is totally outside of my wheelhouse, but that I somehow still enjoyed, Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist. Mom didn't love it. She can't get past the science behind how someone can read people's minds through song, and I can't stop smiling while watching it. Check it out on Hulu. And yeah, I googled it and Chinatown does take place in the 1930's, get off my case...

On this (delayed) episode of TV With My Mom, Mom and I figure out a solution for podcasting at a distance and share our top picks for quarantine entertainment. Stay home, wash your hands, and enjoy.

Listen now to get caught up so you can watch this kick ass sequel on HBO. 

This week on the podcast, Mom almost kills me with comedy as she recaps Fox's new show, Deputy. Spoiler alert: give the show a pass, but give this episode a listen. We also give a Golden Globes rundown. Enjoy!

Happy Holidays, TV With My Mom Viewers! This week Mom and I watched FX's adaptation of a Christmas Carol staring Guy Pearce. Spoilers: it is some seriously depressing stuff. Maybe save it for after the holiday season is over so you don't decide to cancel Christmas. Also, Mom was holding a tissue in her hand for the second half of the podcast and the crinkling is super distracting. Enjoy! See you i...

This week on the podcast I try to talk about the merits of episodic television that gets released on a weekly basis rather than all at once, and Mom talks about how much she would like to see the Mandalorian's face.

Happy Halloween TV With My Mom Viewers! This year for Halloween, Mom and I mostly just talk about the holiday and I get way too worked up about how disappointing I find "It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown!" to be. Have fun getting scared!

This week on the podcast, Mom and I debate the merits of HBO's Succession. Is it a show about scumbags, or is it actually enjoyable? Listen to hear our thoughts. Also, the results of our Emmys bet is revealed, turns out Mom and I are pretty well matched in making predictions about TV. Who would have thought.

Sorry for the delay, Viewers! Our editor, which is me, Rachel, came down with a plague and couldn't lift her head up, let alone edit the episode. This week Mom and I place a bet on who can predict the most Emmy winners.

Theme episode this week! All the junk food, reality tv show, staged drama and ridiculous hijinks you could ask for. Who doesn't love all of the reality shows network tv tries to get us to watch in the summer? It just occurred to me though that we somehow missed talking about the Kardashians. How is that possible, Mom? You love them. Maybe some other time. Enjoy!

This week on the podcast Mom and I talk about the TV adaptation of A Discovery of Witches on AMC. Is it like Twilight for history nerds? Yes. Did we love it? Obviously. 

Hello TVwMM viewers! This week on the podcast, Mom recaps one of the many shows networks throw against the wall during the summer hiatus while we wait for all of the other television to come back. NBC's The InBetween is a mid-2000s throw back, a la Ghost Whisperer or Medium with more scares. Mom is a little all over the place tracking the different ghost stories, but what else is new.
