Episodes

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!

Mom and I had a little party to watch House On Haunted Hill. We had hors d'oeuvres and a cocktail and talked William Castle, the Ennis House and trivia.

In this episode, Mom and I sit down and watch obscure cult classic Carnival of Souls. We talked the director, trivia, money and the Drake of it all. We had sandwiches from Panera as our themed meal.

Mom and I are starting off our Spooky Season early. This year we are going to watch Public Domain horror movies. We kicked things off with the classic, Night of The Living Dead. We talked Romero, trivia, The Jackson 5 and P Diddy. Our theme meal was diner food, I had breakfast and mom had chicken fingers, it was delicious.

Mom wanted to do a cult classic from the year she graduated high school, in honor of her 50th reunion. And oh boy, I found a doozy for her. We watched The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. We had a theme meal of smoked sausage and egg noodles (my personal favorite). We spent a lot of time going over the facts, the rumors and the money. What an interesting tale!

Mom and I sat down for a midnight movie and watched Batman (1989). Michael Keaton is my personal favorite Batman. We had a lovely omelette breakfast and talked trivia and local events.

Mom and I suited up and watched Ghostbusters. We had a lovely Stir-fry theme meal and talked Ivan Reitman, Bill Murray and trivia.

Mom and I sat down and watched a film, like Mom has never seen before: foreign and nearly silent. We watched 1932's Vampyr. The Criterion cut we watched was comprised of bits and pieces from the German and French releases. The English release has been lost to time. There was no food in this movie, so we just had a nice diner breakfast. We talked vampire lore, vampire film history then made fun of JD Vance a little. All in all, a good session. We hope you enjoy this one.

Mom and I sat down and watched Terminator 2: Judgement Day. We had a Mexican themed meal and talked trivia. We even mentioned Bowling Green State University, but we neglected to mention that Robert Patrick, the T-1000, went to college there.

Mom and I sat down and watched one of her favorites, Ace Ventura Pet Detective. We had a yummy stadium food themed meal of hot dogs and tater tots. We talked trivia, what the director was up to, the presidential debate, women's healthcare in America and how I learned how to ride a bike-it was the 80s, so you know it was a traumatic event.

Mom and I sat down and watched Mad Max Fury Road. We had large, beautiful salads as our theme meal, in reference to the lush greenery at the Citadel. We talked George Miller and trivia then slipped into how the present is its own dystopian hellscape in need of a reboot.

Mom and I sat down with a beautiful Thai lunch and watched Session 9. We talked trivia and about the director, then gave our tips for hair care and our thoughts on corporate greed. Good times. Regardless, find this movie. It's a great watch.

Mom and I sat down and watched a requested Bubba Ho-Tep. Elvis. JFK. A Mummy. What more is there to say? We had a rest home themed meal of Salisbury Steak and mashed potatoes, steamed veg and rolls. We talked Don Coscarelli and a good bit on the passing of Roger Corman.

Mom and I sat down and watched The Terminator. We had a lovely diner theme meal and talked trivia and James Cameron. We get a little political at the end, and Alexis gets a little over animated. You've been warned.

Mom and I sat down just before St Patrick's Day to celebrate the true start of spring-Spring Training, by watching Major League. We talk baseball, name changes and trivia while enjoying a sweet ballpark menu of hot dogs, hot pretzel bites and cold beers.

To honor a recently deceased family member, Mom and I watched a movie that would have surely been one of his favorites, 1979's Alien. We had a protein paste type meal of Red Beans and Rice with cornbread as our theme meal and talked trivia, Ridley Scott and just how much cigarette smoke you can have in an oxygen rich environment.

Mom and I sat down and watched John Carpenter's They Live. We talked a little trivia before getting to the nitty gritty and talking politics and homelessness. This movie was made in the 80's but even now, 35 years later, the message is the same. And that's the real horror of the whole thing. There isn't much food in this movie, so our theme meal was to consume, so we went out and bought bagel sandwiches and fancy coffee drinks.

The Arctic frost has left Ohio, so Mom and I sat down and watched John Carpenter's The Thing. Since there's no real food in this movie, we had camp dinners. We talked trivia and the history of Arctic research.

Mom and I sat down on a cold, windy day to watch Men at Work, a Justin favorite. We had a theme meal of hamburgers and french fries and we talked the little bit of trivia we could find.

Mom and I sat down to watch The Muppet Christmas Carol before Christmas to go along with our watching of Scrooged. This movie was better. Who doesn't love a muppet?? We had a wonderful turkey dinner as our theme meal. We hope you had a wonderful holiday season, whether you celebrate or not. And with this being posted in 2024, we hope the New Year treats you well too. Thanks for listening to us!

Mom and I kick off the holiday season by watching Scrooged. We had a lovely stir fry meal and talked about Bill Murray til we were blue in the face. We talked about Mom cutting the cable cord (finaly!!) and my cat Jelly Bean makes a small cameo at the end.

To celebrate our 50th movie, Mom and I sat down and watched Plan 9 From Outer Space. We did this, so you don't have to. It's rough y'all. We ate breakfast and talked trivia, drag queens, Florida and more. Laugh along as Mom confuses Ron DeSantis for Ted Cruz!

To round out our Sequel Spooktacular, Mom and I sat down and watched Army of Darkness, the third entry in the Evil Dead series. We had a lovely Flesh and Bone stew and chatted trivia, Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi. Thank you for your continued support! Follow us on TikTok and Facebook.
