Say It’s Your Birthday (Movies)
On the second bonus episode of Talking Movies with My Mom, in honor of Jackson’s special day, we’re talking birthday movies.
First is "13 Going on 30," starring Jennifer Garner, Mark Ruffalo, Andy Serkis, Judy Greer, and a very young Brie Larson. We explore the depths of a movie that could have been a one-trick pony, weigh in on the idea of a multiverse sequel, and praise the power of three – Rick Springfield, Pat Benatar, and Michael Jackson.
Next up is "Happy Death Day," starring Jessica Rothe, Israel Broussard, and Ruby Modine. We talk about horror homages to classic comedies, why final girls should shame movie murderers, and how reliving your birthday over and over may not be so bad after all.
