MOVIES WITH MY MOTHER

Mom and I channeled our inner-punks and watched Return of The Living Dead. We talked Dan O'Bannon, the cast and trivia and ate a delicious chicken pot pie-type concoction.

Mom suggested we watch one of my "scary summer camp" movies, and boy, did she step in it. We had a kids camp themed meal of corndogs and macaroni and cheese, and mostly talked trivia. I expressly told my to go light on research because I didn't want the ending spoiled for her. If you haven't seen this movie, find it!

Mom and I sat down and watched Drop Dead Gorgeous. We had a lovely midwest meal of meatloaf and mashed potatoes and talked trivia and stats.

Mom and I had to rent Death Becomes Her! But it was worth it. We had big salads for the theme meal. We talked Robert Zemeckis, trivia, the death of the Pope and my trip to Cleveland.

For 4/20, it was a no brainer that we watch Half Baked. We talk Tamra Davis and the Beastie Boys, we talk the feud between Dave Chappelle and Neal Brennan and trivia and politics. We have a stoner's delight meal of pizza, chips and dip, funyuns and candy.

Mom and I watched Dirty Work, a lesser known cult classic from the late 90s. We watched it on Tubi-and we recommend that you find this. We talked trivia, the NBC ad ban and the Bob Saget of it all.

First of all, we put a theme song in. Let us know what you think!

In remembrance of Brandon Lee, near the anniversary of his traguc death, Mom and I sit dow and watch his final film, The Crow. We had Coney Island diner food and talked the director, trivia and the circumstances that lead to Brandon Lee's death.

Mom and I sat down and watched a classic 90s comedy that played on a loop on Comedy Central. Now it's out of print and hard to find. But seriously...try to find it! There wasn't much on the director or trivia-wise, so we just riff most of the time.

Mom and I sat down and watched Freaks, Tod Browning's film about circus sideshow folk. We had circus food, corndogs and pretzels, peanuts and candy as our theme meal and we discuss Tod Browning and whether or not this film was exploitation. We watched this on Tubi, free with commercials. Go watch this film. It really is worth the watch.

To give Mom a break, we watched an old favorite: Best in Show. We talked stats and trivia and Mom renamed Christoper Guest Peter. We watched this movie free with commercials on YouTube.

After his passing, Mom and I sat down and watched a David Lynch film. Mom said I'm not allowed to pick movies anymore LOL. We talked Lynch, trivia and the Amish-who I saw in my dentist journey.

Mom and I dipped our toes into Hammer Films with Captain Kronos Vampire Hunter. It's not a great movie, but it will always have a soft place in my heart. We talked about the director and Hammer Films and then move into hot topics and recent deaths. The movie didn't have any eating in it, so we had pub grub and it was great.

To send 2024 out with a laugh, Mom and I sat down and watched Let's Go To Prison. It's not a cult classic, per se, but it's hilarious nonetheless. We busted out the prison trays and had chicken sandwiches, fries, greens and hawaiian punch. This movie had hardly any trivia, so we talked Bob Odenkirk, 2024 prison stats and a Movies With My Mother year in review.

Mom and I sat down for a festive, Christmas type movie and watched Gremlins. We talked trivia and the director...but Mom got Joe Dante and Richard Donner all mixed up LOL. We had a themed meal of oven fried chicken, mashed potatoes and corn, it was delicious. We did a TikTok...if you're not following us there, get hip because we're ridiculous.

Mom and I sat down with an English Breakfast and watched Highlander. We discussed the director's music video past and trivia and logisitics....how old was the Kurgan and if he was older than Ramirez, why was he white?

Mom and I sat down with a White Russian and watched The Big Lebowski. We ate nachos as part of a bowling alley bar menu and talked The Coen Brothers and trivia.

Mom and I conclude our Public Domain horror scare-tacular with 1922's Nosferatu. We had a lovely carving roast dinner and talked trivia, the Dracula litigation and the life and death of F.W. Murnau. The copy we watched was very muddy and the music was oddly jazzy...so if you go looking for this, find a better version.

This is our 70th episode!! Who knew we'd get this far? Thanks for being with us on this ride!
