Holiday Movies with Grandma
On the first bonus episode of Talking Movies with My Mom, we welcome Jackson’s Grandma and Tamara’s Mom, Phyllis Bell (who’s also a proud SAG-AFTRA member who once played a burned-out waitress on "The Young and the Restless"). We kickstart the holidays with a discussion of our favorite movies: "It’s a Wonderful Life" (Grandma’s), "The Long Kiss Goodnight" (Tamara’s), and "Klaus" (Jackson’s). Each brings a different spirit to the season, but one thing they all share — making Grandma cry.
