Movies about Moms and Sons
On the premiere episode of Talking Movies with My Mom, we figured that for a movie podcast co-hosted by a son and mom, we’d talk about our favorite mom and son movies.
First up is “The Grifters,” starring Angelica Huston, John Cusack, and Annette Bening. We dig into the grifting lifestyle, ponder what it means when your child calls you by your first name, and wonder how heavy a duffel bag carrying $52,000 would be. We also get to the bottom of that age-old question, “Does anybody wear a trench coat better than John Cusack?”
Then we shift to “Terminator 2: Judgment Day,” starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton, and Edward Furlong. We bask in the timelessness of the special effects, consider the effect on a child if the mom chooses to save the world over giving them a hug, and imagine how the two terminators might react in a family therapy session.
