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.
