Single Moms On Film
Stagione 1
di Jennifer McGuire
Back by popular demand - Marcella Leeper! And the most depressing of all Christmas movies, 'One Magic Christmas.' Join us as we discuss Gideon the creepy Christmas angel, Ginny's horrible punishment for not liking the holidays, and Marcella's renewed love of the town where it all happened. Owen Sound, Ontario.
Designer and film savante Luke Greidanus is back to discuss Susan Sarandon and Julia Roberts in Stepmom for Thanksgiving. Jen and Luke deconstruct the mom/stepmom dynamic, Ed Harris as a leading man, and the hold nostalgia has on the way we rewatch movies. Jen got a bit sweary, apologies.
Actress and comedian Stephanie Herrera (stephanieherrera.com) joins Jen to talk One Day At A Time, mansplainer Schneider, grocery stores, and single moms in the '70s and '80s. Visit @SingleMomFilms on Twitter and Instagram for more.
Jen talks with Marcella Leeper about her single mom movie choice Erin Brockovich. They discuss shitty cars, dirty water, the renaissance of Julia Roberts, and the plight of working women that never gets better. Even when they dress real nice.
A witchy episode of Single Moms on Film with friend of the family Luke Greidanus! Luke (owner of the fabulous online store Luke Luke Lukes) joins Jen to discuss the Sandra Bullock/Nicole Kidman vehicle Practical Magic. We discuss chaotic families, feminism, and the incredible wigs in this perfect-for-fall movie.
Australian horror film writer and single mom Bernie Rutkay (@berniecartesian) brings The Babadook into Jen's life. We talk about Still Face Syndrome, letting your kids in, and the miracle of taking out the garbage all on your lonesome.
Actress and writer Sarah D. McCarthy (@sarahdmccarthy, Vollies on Bell Fibe) talks the iconic 1987 vehicle Baby Boom, video stores, Diane Keaton's belts, and hearths with Jen. Follow us on Twitter and Instagram @SingleMomFilms.
