MOVIES WITH MY MOTHER

Alexis Norton and Laurel East

My mother and I sit down and watch a random cult classic movie, give listeners an overview and maybe a few opinions before we move on to talk about literally everything else. The gimmick is that I *love* movies and she hasn"t seen a movie in a cinema since the 90s.

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.

EPISODE 54: THEY LIVE

MOVIES WITH MY MOTHER ·

2024/03/02

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.
