Mom, Watch This!

Tv EN ↓ 40 episodes

Your movie night just got a little unhinged. They've shared adventures, playlists, and plenty of popcorn. Now this mother/daughter duo are sharing their watch lists and breaking down what actually works (and what doesn't.) Reviews, behind-the-scenes fun film facts, and a six degrees of separation challenge connecting their two picks in some unexpected (and some expected) ways. Two generations of luke-warm takes, off-topic tangents, and barely any formal or confident film analysis. A whole lot silly and a little bit relatable, these movie "critics" might be the exact opposite of pretentious.

EP34: BOOTY TRAPS! Solar Surfing, Cave Climbing, the Truffle Shuffle, and MORPH! 10.07.2026

Pirates is the name of the game and adventure awaits as we travel through two wholesome flicks that dive deep below the surface and uncover themes of abandonment, trauma, childhood bonds, and the essence of humanity. But it's done so well with such fun and excitement! Pull up a snack and join us for one of our favorite nostalgic romps yet, as we discuss 1985's The Goonies and 2002's Treasure Plane...

EP33: WHERE'S MY SUPER SUIT?! Just Rolling Down the Freeway in a Mobile Tux Van 03.07.2026

Did WE have the cocktails? This is the most unhinged, off-topic schtuff we've ever recorded, so don't say we didn't warn you. Between re-recording, reminiscing, complaining, talking about other movies, and just basically forgetting we were even discussing movies, you might not even realize we're covering The Incredibles (2004) and The Hangover (2009)...you'd think we partied with the guys... Intro...

EP32: 3 Chicks and a Ton of Heart…Not One Whole Chip, But They’re Perfectly Imperfect 26.06.2026

In this episode, we explore the iconic film 'Romy & Michele's High School Reunion,' delving into its satire, character dynamics, and behind-the-scenes insights. Pull up a snack (or few!) and join us for a nostalgic discussion that uncovers the film's lasting appeal and hidden details. Stick around while we also dive into Chicken Little, exploring its themes, characters, and behind-the-scenes f...

EP31: DRAGONS! Light the Torch and Pass It On: There's No Fergus Here - Only Gerard! 19.06.2026

In the second installment of our Scavenger Hunt Summer series, we discuss DRAGONS! Who would be a better choice than the adorable Toothless in 2010's How to Train Your Dragon, ...or if that isn't your jam, maybe the terrifying fire droolers of the apocalyptic (not era-esque) Reign of Fire (2002.) Two vastly different dragons, two wildly different perspectives, but one wholesome surprise connection...

EP30: Putt-Putt Wut? Golf Cl!ques, R!ch D!cks, Hockey St!cks, and Breadst!cks! 12.06.2026

What happens when we take one of our scavenger hunt requests (putt-putt golf) and each pick our own movie which features it? Two completely different flicks with a surprising connection, of course! We discover how 1987's Overboard didn't age particularly well, and 2025's Happy Gilmore 2 was a delightful surprising sequel to a fam favorite! Pull up a snack and join us in one of our first ACTUAL gen...

EP29: Girls' Girls and Fan Boys: Hiding Cameras, Scaling Walls, and Sharing Clothes 05.06.2026

Is it 2006's John Tucker Must Die, or 2022's The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent? Name the movie... Character1: I don't want to kill you Character2: you're the last person I want to kill Character1: I love you Character2: I LOVE YOU! Did you ever think two such different movies would share so many random little details? We discuss our favorite things about both - and our not-so-favorite things...

EP28: People Are Scary - Always Choose the Bear...Even If It's Vincent 29.05.2026

Chasing flies, escaping hedge trimmers, uploading spyware, and an overall arc of BETRAYAL! In this episode, we discuss Bruce Willis as a slimy corporate CEO (or something?) and a "ring-tailed charlatan," as well as the strong casts surrounding him in both 2007's Perfect Stranger and 2006's Over the Hedge. Pull up a snack and join us - but SPOILER ALERT...watch the movies first! Intro music created...

EP27: A Bride, Bubbles, and the Bureau...As You Wish! 22.05.2026

Dear Princess Buttercup, It's not you, it's mom. This week we dive a bit deep into our weird little psychologies and discuss why certain movies hit (and miss) us the way they do, and even how they might affect our personalities from childhood! We cover the timeless classic, The Princess Bride (1987,) and suspense thriller Kiss the Girls, which came out a decade later. Both star Carey Elwes, playin...

EP26: Shakespeare's Riot Girl...Chaucer's Rock Jocks... & Ledgers Flowing Locks 15.05.2026

Doberman deviance and loosely based literary classics with Heath Ledger leading the charge! We pay homage to the fallen gentleman as we discuss heartwarming favorites 10 Things I Hate About You (1999) and A Knight's Tale (2001.) Music and mayhem, and a mischievous co-host steal the show this week, and we're out of alliteration for this week... Intro (and now outro!) music created by Grim Avenue!

Behind the Scenes: Episode 1 13.05.2026

'Sup movie nerds! Learn a little bit more about your favorite non-critical movie "critics" in our first Q&A episode.

Ep24: Musicals and Vocal Stims: We Don't Talk About Movies... 01.05.2026

...actually we do. But this one went off the rails! It was probably to be expected when we paired two WILDLY different movies; one of which was a Disney musical, and by now you probably know how we get when we discuss Disney. Join us this week for some GenX nostalgia and GenZ generational trauma breaking in an episode featuring odd-couple-comedy Nothing to Lose from way back in 1997, and 2021's be...

EP23: A Bucket of Fried Chicken, and Forbidden Love...I Hate Everyone 24.04.2026

The titles are starting to just write themselves... Grab your favorite Squishmallow, pull up a tasty snack, and snuggle under a weighted blanket, because we're about to get deep in the weeds with two dark AF movies. Impressive performances and thought provoking subject matter grip us in both 2022's The Whale, and 2006's Little Miss Sunshine. We even bare our own souls in this heartfelt episode. In...

EP22: Wrong Place, Wrong Time, Right Guy 17.04.2026

Two same same different movies featuring a guy who may or may not be setting someone else up, or being set up himself, or what the actual hell is going on here? Pull up a snack and join us to fin...

Thank you for sticking with us through the big two-zero!...

EP19: Big Hair, Snek Lair, and Existential Crises...Was it Worth It? 27.03.2026

Intro music by (Grim Avenue)

Four girls. Two movies. Zero chill. Tune in this week to Mom, Watch This! where we're joined by another iconic mother-daughter duo! Things get a little loud, a little opinionated, and just a little unhinged (in the best possible way.) We dive into the wildly different vibes of 2019's Ready or Not (think murderous in-laws and wedding night from hell) and Ocean's 11 of 2001, where the suits are shar...

EP17: Requiem for the Damned, Lament of the Creature 13.03.2026

This week, we welcome a special guest-host and dive into a deeper genre; Gothic horror and tragedy. We'll discuss the innocence of the pure and the psychology of the evil, decipher the use of colors in movies, and dissect the historical accuracy in each setting, and so much more. Tune in for our thoughts on Sinners and Frankenstein, both of 2025, Sources for movie fun facts: Sinners - Danger Bowie...

EP16: Justice On A Pawpsicle Stick! The Kids Aren't Alright... 06.03.2026

This week, we're tackling two wildly different movie vibes: the hopeful animal world of Zootopia (2016) and the deeply unsettling ride of Weapons (2025.) One restores your faith in humanity...the other makes you have to check your pants and sleep with the lights on. Expect laughs, dark humor, and some very honest movie-night commentary!

This week’s double feature, A League of Their Own (1992) and The Sandlot (1993,) takes us to two very different diamonds, where the stakes are high and the legends are even higher. Women building something lasting in a world that d...

EP13: Baseball's Back: Legacy That Transcends the Game 13.02.2026

In this episode, our mother–daughter duo explores the heart of Field of Dreams (1989) and 2013's 42; from Ray’s complicated relationship with his father and Annie’s steadfast support, to the racism, resilience, and eventual camaraderie surrounding Jackie Robinson.
