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!
