MOVIES WITH MY MOTHER

di Alexis Norton and Laurel East
EPISODE 116: BILL & TED'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE
Esplicito
Mom and I sat down and watched Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. We had a Circle K themed meal of hot dogs, chips and polar pops. We talked the little bit of info Mom found on the director, trivia, Mom's trip to Tennessee and the impossible beauty standard of right now.
EPISODE 115: PAN'S LABYRINTH
Esplicito
Mom and I ventured into foreign film territory and watched Pan's Labyrinth. I was worried, but Mom did a great job at keeping up. We talked Guillermo Del Toro and trivia. We had a lovely pot roast theme meal.
EPISODE 114: WET HOT AMERICAN SUMMER
Esplicito
Mom and I start July 2026 off with Wet Hot American Summer. I figured after making her sit through Sleepaway Camp, she deserved a funny summer camp movie. We talked the limited information and trivia we could find. I have major brain fog and we devolve into goofy stuff we've seen on TikTok.
EPISODE 113: ED WOOD
Esplicito
Mom and I sat down and watched Tim's Burton's biopic Ed Wood. We had diner food, led astray by google, again. We talked both Burton and Wood, trivia and stats.
EPISODE 112: ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK
Esplicito
Mom and I sit down and watch another John Carpenter classic, Escape From New York. There is no food in the movie, so we had hamburgers and french fries. We talked a little bit about Carpenter and trivia and new things coming to the Toledo, OH area.
EPISODE 111: THE CRAZIES
Esplicito
Mom and I sat down and watched the George Romero classic, The Crazies. There isn't a lot of food in this movie, and I wasn't fixing to eat cold soup direct from the can, so we got diner food. We picked this movie as Hanta Virus and Ebola are hot topics this summer. Who knows if we'll have another pandemic? In this movie, they were ready to nuke small town Pennsylvania...could that happen in real life? Who knows.
EPISODE 110: BLADE RUNNER
Esplicito
Mom and I sat down and watched Blade Runner. I think it went over both our heads, but the cinematography was beautiful. We talked Ridley Scott and trivia and had a lovely ramen entree Mom found online.
EPISODE 109: THE CELL
Esplicito
Mom and I sat down and watched The Cell. There is no food in the movie, so we had breakfast from Mayberry Diner. We talked trivia and the director and the music videos of it all.
EPISODE 108: LOCK, STOCK AND TWO SMOKING BARRELS
Esplicito
Mom and I sat down to watch Guy Ritchie's Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. We talked trivia, the director and the Madonna of it all. We had a lovely pub grub fish 'n chips meal and did a basic TikTok. We discussed a bad review we got too. Fun was had by all. I have to apologize for some farty sounding squeaking. I had my microphone too close to my face the whole time, and with a computer, a notebook and a couple of cats in my lap, it was hard to get comfortable LOL.
EPISODE 107: NIGHT OF THE COMET
Mom and I sat down to watch Night Of The Comet. We were...disappointed, though it's easy to see why it's a Cult Classic. We had a grab n' go style food court breakfast smorgasbord, talked for 2 seconds about the director, the end of the world and I troubleshot Mom's favorite news app on the Roku.
