EPISODE 119: ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW

With Tim Curry passing, we finally watched Rocky Horror Picture Show. It's funny, I haven't seen it in years, and still remembered all the songs. We talked the director, trivia and the Hammer Film Studios of it all.

EPISODE 118: 12 MONKEYS

Mom and I sat down and watched 12 Monkeys. We had a soft, institutional meal of meatloaf and mashed potatoes on the prison trays. We talked Terry Gilliam and the Monty Python of it all.

EPISODE 117: ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13 (2005)

Mom and I sat down and watched the remake of Assault on Precinct 13. This was a struggle. We had New Year's Eve nibbles and talked for about 2 minutes about the director and trivia...and that's being generous. In our obituary, I mention the wrong member of ZZ Top had died previously.

EPISODE 116: BILL & TED'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
