MOVIES WITH MY MOTHER

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...

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.

Mom and I sat down and watched a requested Bubba Ho-Tep. Elvis. JFK. A Mummy. What more is there to say? We had a rest home themed meal of Salisbury Steak and mashed potatoes, steamed veg and rolls. We talked Don Coscarelli and a good bit on the passing of Roger Corman.

Mom and I sat down and watched The Terminator. We had a lovely diner theme meal and talked trivia and James Cameron. We get a little political at the end, and Alexis gets a little over animated. You've been warned.

Mom and I sat down just before St Patrick's Day to celebrate the true start of spring-Spring Training, by watching Major League. We talk baseball, name changes and trivia while enjoying a sweet ballpark menu of hot dogs, hot pretzel bites and cold beers.

To honor a recently deceased family member, Mom and I watched a movie that would have surely been one of his favorites, 1979's Alien. We had a protein paste type meal of Red Beans and Rice with cornbread as our theme meal and talked trivia, Ridley Scott and just how much cigarette smoke you can have in an oxygen rich environment.

Mom and I sat down and watched John Carpenter's They Live. We talked a little trivia before getting to the nitty gritty and talking politics and homelessness. This movie was made in the 80's but even now, 35 years later, the message is the same. And that's the real horror of the whole thing. There isn't much food in this movie, so our theme meal was to consume, so we went out and bought bagel sand...

The Arctic frost has left Ohio, so Mom and I sat down and watched John Carpenter's The Thing. Since there's no real food in this movie, we had camp dinners. We talked trivia and the history of Arctic research.

Mom and I sat down on a cold, windy day to watch Men at Work, a Justin favorite. We had a theme meal of hamburgers and french fries and we talked the little bit of trivia we could find.

Mom and I sat down to watch The Muppet Christmas Carol before Christmas to go along with our watching of Scrooged. This movie was better. Who doesn't love a muppet?? We had a wonderful turkey dinner as our theme meal. We hope you had a wonderful holiday season, whether you celebrate or not. And with this being posted in 2024, we hope the New Year treats you well too. Thanks for listening to us!

Mom and I kick off the holiday season by watching Scrooged. We had a lovely stir fry meal and talked about Bill Murray til we were blue in the face. We talked about Mom cutting the cable cord (finaly!!) and my cat Jelly Bean makes a small cameo at the end.

To celebrate our 50th movie, Mom and I sat down and watched Plan 9 From Outer Space. We did this, so you don't have to. It's rough y'all. We ate breakfast and talked trivia, drag queens, Florida and more. Laugh along as Mom confuses Ron DeSantis for Ted Cruz!

To round out our Sequel Spooktacular, Mom and I sat down and watched Army of Darkness, the third entry in the Evil Dead series. We had a lovely Flesh and Bone stew and chatted trivia, Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi. Thank you for your continued support! Follow us on TikTok and Facebook.

Mom and I watched the original Halloween II. We had a lovely hospital food meal of breaded chicken tenders, scalloped potatoes and steamed broccoli. We tried to avoid politic talk. Though I did flub and say I was voting no on issue one, my verbiage was confused though my heart was in the right place.

Mom and I started Spooky Season and our Halloween Sequels Spectacular and watched Psycho 2. Not necessarily a cult classic, but it should be? We had a wonderful diner food breakfast and we talked trivia. I only called director Richard Franklin "Robert Franklin" once. I wanted to do it every time I said his name. I also spoil the shit out of recent movie release The Nun 2. Sorry, not sorry. Follow...

Mom and I sat down and watched The Princess Bride. We ate Get Well Stew and talked trivia and my picky eating habits. I am a small child. Please follow us on Facebook.

Mom and I sat down to watch The Goonies. The recording is a little wonky, but not to worry, new equipment came so hopefully technical issues will not persist. We had a themed meal of Pizza-french bread pizza, with a very cool Pepsi glass to drink Coke out of and Mom talks about her Tennessee vacation and her even bigger news of her retirement. Thank you for putting up with our erratic schedule and...

Mom and I sat down and watched the first Blade Movie. We had a lovely steak dinner and chatted stats and trivia, the craziness that is Wesley Snipes and the odd choices of director Stephen Norrington.

Mom and I sat down and watched The Blues Brothers. We talked stats, trivia, racism and local events. We had a themed meal of diner food, though we forgot to have 4 fried chickens-not that we could've eaten all that anyway LOL. Last but not least, Mom and I made it onto a list!

Mom and I sat down and watched her first Tarantino movie. We had a diner breakfast from Cafe Lexie and talked trivia. The Grindhouse movie I couldn't recall was Deathproof, not Death Car, I knew I was wrong as soon as I said it.

After a hectic day, Mom and I sat down to watch Big Trouble In Little China. We had Thai instead of Chinese for our theme meal, because there's no good Chinese restaurants near my home. We talked trivia and stats, and veered off to mental health and Critical Race Theory-it's just history, nothing scary. Thanks for your continued listening. We really appreciate you.

Mom and I sat down and watched Wes Anderson's Rushmore. We had a lovely Prep School lunch and talked trivia, gun control and mental health.
