MOVIES WITH MY MOTHER

Mom and I start July 2026 off with Wet Hot American Summer. I figured after making her sit through Sleepaway Camp, she deserved a funny summer camp movie. We talked the limited information and trivia we could find. I have major brain fog and we devolve into goofy stuff we've seen on TikTok.

Mom and I sat down and watched Tim's Burton's biopic Ed Wood. We had diner food, led astray by google, again. We talked both Burton and Wood, trivia and stats.

Mom and I sit down and watch another John Carpenter classic, Escape From New York. There is no food in the movie, so we had hamburgers and french fries. We talked a little bit about Carpenter and trivia and new things coming to the Toledo, OH area.

Mom and I sat down and watched the George Romero classic, The Crazies. There isn't a lot of food in this movie, and I wasn't fixing to eat cold soup direct from the can, so we got diner food. We picked this movie as Hanta Virus and Ebola are hot topics this summer. Who knows if we'll have another pandemic? In this movie, they were ready to nuke small town Pennsylvania...could that happen in real life? Who knows.

Mom and I sat down and watched Blade Runner. I think it went over both our heads, but the cinematography was beautiful. We talked Ridley Scott and trivia and had a lovely ramen entree Mom found online.

Mom and I sat down and watched The Cell. There is no food in the movie, so we had breakfast from Mayberry Diner. We talked trivia and the director and the music videos of it all.
