Little Women
In their final outing for the year, mum and son head out to watch Little Women on Boxing Day. Seeing an adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's classic story feels like a Christmas tradition, but how does Greta Gerwig and Saoirse Ronan's take on the material compare to earlier renditions? Does it still have that festive touch? And will there be a festive ice cream flavour on hand?
Due to the lack of interest, this will be the final episode of 'Movies With Mum'. Thanks to the few of you who listened along with us. -
Jumanji: The Next Level
In a special festive two-sons edition of MWM, we head off to our local world of cine to watch the third Jumanji movie. Or is it the fourth? Or the second? In any case, the whole cast returns from the surprise hit of 2017 with Danny DeVito and Danny Glover as elderly and permanently bewildered hangers-on. Can lightning strike twice? Will Gary have a different ice cream flavour? Follow those jungle drums to find out...

Gremlins
Mum and Son prepare for the holiday season with this nostalgic trip back into an 80s festive classic: Gremlins! It's got everything a mum would want in a Christmas movie: a small town in the snow, a young couple taking their first steps towards romance... and slimy green monsters going on a murderous rampage! Will mum enjoy this 4K restoration of the 35 year-old movie? Will it stand the test of time? And what ice cream did they scoff? It's all here, gremlins permitting...
-
Knives Out
Mum likes a cosy drawing room murder mystery, so Son dutifully takes her to see 'Knives Out' – director Rian Johnson's homage to the star-studded Agatha Christie adaptations of the seventies... and perhaps his opportunity to get back on solid ground after his lacklustre Star Wars movie. Will Mum guess who did it in the first ten minutes? Will German Chocolate Cake flavour be back on the ice cream counter? Know all by mashing that play button!
-
Last Christmas
Christmas in November?! Mum and son venture out for Emma Thompson's festive rom-com 'Last Christmas' to see if Emilia Clarke can bring the seasonal cheer when she's not roasting innocent children with dragon breath. Will this Wham-fuelled tale of love in the aisles of a year-round Christmas novelty shop warm our cockles and roast our chestnuts, or will it leave us frosty and Scrooge-like? Find out!
-
Midway
Mum and Son return to the relative safety of their local world of cine, only to find themselves in the middle of a war in the middle of the Pacific. Will a British rapper with a chewing gum fetish be able to single-handedly scupper the Japanese invasion of America's west coast with the help of Patrick Wilson's intelligence and Woody Harrelson's heroic leadership? And will there be ice cream that isn't weighed? Find out!

Movies with Mum
Conrad (son of Mum)and Suzanne (Mum)are not Siskel and Ebert, but they aren’t meant to be. These two fans of their local CineWorld bring us along on their weekly outing to the movies to share the experience. You are a passenger in the car where, on the drive to the theater, there is anticipation and light-hearted banter regarding that week’s selection. After the film, we are back in the car to hear a plot summary, along with Suzanne’s and Conrad’s unique perspectives. You will notice a generational disparity in their descriptions of the same film, but this Mum and son are on the same wavelength. Listen carefully and you’ll notice that they conclude with a fairly close opinion on the take aways. The real entertainment of this podcast is the lovely (and many times hilarious) banter between Suzanne and Conrad. You are in the car with two people you want to friends with, especially since our weekly drive always includes a stop for ice cream at the end! Be warned: you WILL want ice cream after each podcast.
