Adventures with Disney Movies (1995-2005): Part 2

For our Season Six finale of "Talking Movies with My Mom," we revisit the Blue Bowl from Season Four to delve once more into Disney movies released after the high point of its Renaissance (so from 1995-2005). This time, 19 Disney movies — from "A Goofy Movie" to "Brother Bear" — entered the bowl. Only two would leave. And no takesy backsies. Join us as we reveal the movies we picked and find out whether they hold up to Jackson’s fond childhood memories.  For additional information, resources, and a transcript of the episode, visit https://talkingmovieswithmymom.com [https://talkingmovieswithmymom.com] You can also follow us on Instagram @talkingmovieswithmymom.

Putting the Cart Before the Horse (Movies)

On today’s episode of "Talking Movies with My Mom," we investigate the phenomenon of films that fail to launch franchises with "The Saint" and "After Earth." We probe into the lost potential of a father/son bonding expedition; the advisability of using seduction to acquire life-altering-as-we-know-it files; and how taking pot-shots at "Lost" and "X-Files" might lead to misfortune for moviemakers.  For additional information, resources, and a transcript of the episode, visit https://talkingmovieswithmymom.com [https://talkingmovieswithmymom.com] You can also follow us on Instagram @talkingmovieswithmymom.

Oh, the Places We’ll Go: Brazilian Movies

On today’s episode of "Talking Movies with My Mom," we travel to Brazil for this season’s installment of our "Oh, the Places We’ll Go" series.  Our first stop is Rio de Janeiro for "City of God," where we learn about the importance of a Jiminy Cricket to a well-run drug empire; that the best way to survive a gang-war is with a camera; and to never underestimate the Zé way. Next up, we travel to Sao Paulo for "Hard Labor." We spitball theories about cursed supermarkets, formidable demon dogs, and what it really takes to be a success in a dog-eat-dog job market. And one more thing. A special shout-out to our ghost guest, Mat, for the cameo. (Translation: "And I thank you for that answer.")
