Moms N Movies

The Hand that Rocks the Cradle is such a crazy premise that they had to make two movies about it. The modern one reimagines the classic film in a creepy double-identity way, but Jessi and Wendy are fixated on why anyone would hire a hot Rebecca DeMornay when you have a postpartum body and you're suffering from PTSD. But hit play and hear which movie we'd rather live in, and would a greenhouse really kill you or just slice you up?

In this episode, Jessi and Wendy explore birth plans in space with The Fantastic Four!

It's spooky season again, and what better movie to kick it off than Practical Magic! Sally (Sandra Bullock) and Jillian (Nicole Kidman) take us on a multi-generational adventure in woo. 

The sequel comes out in a few weeks, so it's time to revisit this classic, looking at the Moms throughout this movie: OG magical Maria, best looking woman in a pilgrim-filled village, to The Aunts- who love chocolate for breakfast, and meddling in people's love lives...

We tackle: Is Sally a good Mom?
Can you avoid falling in love with Aidan Quinn?

It's time to talk about Bad Moms 2: A Christmas Story. Full of strippers and grandmas, this is the sequel Jessi didn't want and the one that redeems the whole franchise for Wendy. Once again, we look at Moms in the Movies - what rings true, what seems like total crap, and would anyone throw Justin Hartley outta bed for eatin' crackers? Answer: No.

This week on Moms N Movies, we talk "Bad Moms" the 2016 comedy starring Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, Kathryn Hahn, Christina Applegate, Jada Pinkett Smith, Annie Mumolo, and Cheryl Hines.

One of us loved it, and one of us loathed it- but we both had a ton of questions: 

Does Mila really need a makeover?
Can Kathryn Hahn move here and be our new bestie?
Could they please make a sequel?

What's better than one episode about My Big Fat Greek Wedding? How about one more about the other two movies in the trilogy? We break down both movies, what worked, what didn't work and what made us want to scream "Opa!" and toss a big plate against the wall. 

Will the magic of My Big Fat Greek Wedding reoccur in the rest of the trilogy? Press play and see!

This week's movie covers some of our favorite things about America (BTW Happy 250th Birthday, fam): diversity, immigrants, and the ability to have cross-cultural relationships.  Jessi and Wendy unpack the cultural juggernaut of My Big Fat Greek Wedding, which launched a whole trilogy - inspiring countless works of John Corbett fanfic. We love Nia Vardalos, the creator of this trilogy, but we have questions about the root of the word "boundaries." 

Press Play and enjoy our take on My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

When we started the podcast, Steel Magnolias was a universally suggested movie - so this week we finally tackle a year in the life of Shelby, Truvy, M'Lynn, Annelle, and of course, Ouiser in Natchitoches, Louisiana. 

It's quotable, it's sweet, but does it still hold up after all these years? 
You can guess that Wendy, being Southern, loves this movie, but does it equally hit Jessi, who hails from Arizona? 

And finally, we tackle the question: Would you rather have thirty minutes of wonderful or a lifetime of nothing special? Grab some sweet tea and hit...

This episode is chock full of plane nightmares and parenting judgments. I can't tell if that will make you want to listen to this episode or not, but Jessi and Wendy, as frequent travelers and parents, decide to dish on both. 

If you haven't fallen into the rabbit hole of Mackenzie Shirilla like everyone else, this will make you want to check out the documentary on Netflix called "The Crash." Jessi Campbell has been doing a deep dive into all things about the 2022 double homicide of 20-year-old Dominic Russo and 19-year-old Davion Flanagan. Have you watched it? 

Wendy Maybury couldn't be more thrilled about having a Star Wars focused episode and was shocked to find out Jessi Campbell might have different feelings about the Space Cowboy movie. 

Joining the podcast this week is comedian Warren B. Hall. Batman fan and father, he offers the right level of nerdy testosterone to help us talk about Mando's tough Dad skillz. Is it better for him to bring you in warm or cold? 

On this podcast no one can hear you scream... it's time to hit play and let's talk about The Mandelorian and Grogu. 

Me Time! Next week is another Split Custody episode where we give Dads the chance to shine, and we have a special Guest joining us--- but in the meantime, it's time to talk about the fair and postpartum anger issues. Hit Play to hear this week's episode!

This week on Moms N Movies, we’re diving face-first into frosting and chaos with Mrs. Doubtfire. Our special guest is comic Daddy Pfoser.

The movie that charmed generations with the idea that if Daddy really loved you he'd turn into a British nanny with a bunch of latex and stay around. We’re talking about iconic one-liners, crazy ass parenting decisions, the world’s most stressful restaurant scene, and why this movie somehow made us laugh, cry, and fear CPS workers all at once.

Plus: was Miranda the villain… or just the only exhausted adult in the r...

One of the stars from Mother's Day joins the podcast to tell us about her experience on the film-- and we get way in the weeds about how make-up and hair sometimes just does a girl WRONG. 

NEXT WEEK'S MOVIE is one that's been in the zeitgeist recently, and it was one of the ones we immediately knew we wanted to do-- starring the incredible Sally Field and everyone's favorite manic comedian... can you guess? 

Plus, big announcements about the podcast so tune in!

This week, we watched Mother's Day, so you don't have to. Woof. This movie SHOULD be awesome! Julia Roberts, Goldie Hawn's daughter, Jennifer Aniston, and MIA JACKSON! I mean, the content should have been there: BUT something went oh so wrong.

If this movie were a drinking game where you take a swig every time something dumb happens, you'll be sloshed 15 min in... so grab a box of wine and let's do this! 

I don't know what kind of Hollywood motherhood the writers of this movie had, but I didn't see one mom trying to wrestle a...

Welp, we hoped you liked the Terminator 2 episode, and next week we'll tackle the most complicated of holidays... The one that's this Sunday... can you guess it? That's right? The one where if you buy anything, you spent too much money, and all she wants is a card that was put in the mail two weeks ago when no one was thinking about her special day-- AND NOW YOU MISSED IT AGAIN! I have trauma with this holiday for reals. It's Mother's Day! That's right! Check out our pre-podcast episode, and as always, tell us what you think about this...

This week on Moms ‘N Movies, we’re diving into Terminator 2: Judgment Day.

Jessi Campbell, a LONG TIME Terminator franchise fan, and Wendy Maybury, who is just here to enjoy robots showing up in the past naked, discuss what happens when the guy who tried to kill you comes back again to be your kids bodyguard.

Join us as we appreciate Robert Patrick's insane hotness in this movie, become suspicious of vending machines and mercury, and watch Sarah Connor refuse to give John Connor a hug.

So here's the deal. On Thursdays, we go over what y'all liked or didn't like about the movie we watched that week-- the one we release on Mondays.

This week's, for example, was Freakier Friday. So we talk about that. AND THEN... We tell you which movie to watch this weekend, so enjoy the episode on Monday with fresh eyes!

It's like a movie club of sorts if you want to play along in real time! If you ever want to give us feedback-- email momsnmovies@gmail.com

What happens when the universe looks at Freaky Friday and says- “Let's do that again but with more people and a British accent”?

This week on Moms ‘N Movies, we’re diving into Freakier Friday—the sequel nobody asked for and I guess we all needed.

We get into the weeds on this movie, while also bring our own mom-life perspective—what sounds true, what made us laugh, and what made us go, “Hell no, that child would be grounded for life.” Hint: the problem isn't the bratty teens- it's the grandma. We're looking at you, Jamie Lee Curtis...

Description: Welcome to the new podcast Moms ’n Movies where comedians Jessi Campbell and Wendy Maybury analyze, deconstruct, enjoy, hate, and roast movies made about and for moms. Hot takes, cold takes, yelling and laughs- listen every week to a new podcast about a new movie.

In our opening episode coming this Monday, Wendy and Jessi talk about Freakier Friday 2- a sequel you know is good because it came out decades after the first movie. Watch it and laugh along, and shoot us an email with your thoughts!
