MOVIES WITH MY MOTHER
Alexis Norton and Laurel East
Show overview
MOVIES WITH MY MOTHER has been publishing since 2021, and across the 5 years since has built a catalogue of 115 episodes. That works out to roughly 160 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence.
Episodes typically run an hour to ninety minutes — most land between 1h 12m and 1h 35m — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. The publisher flags most episodes as explicit, so expect adult themes or strong language throughout. It is catalogued as a EN-language TV & Film show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed yesterday, with 17 episodes already out so far this year. Published by Alexis Norton and Laurel East.
From the publisher
My mother and I sit down and watch a random cult classic movie, give listeners an overview and maybe a few opinions before we move on to talk about literally everything else. The gimmick is that I *love* movies and she hasn't seen a movie in a cinema since the 90s.

Ep 106EPISODE 106: V FOR VENDETTA
EMm and I sat down and watched V For Vendetta. We chatted the director, trivia and stats and had a theme meal of Egg In A Hole's with a side of hash and fruit. We get a little critical of current events and my brain melts down at the end. Go watch our accompanying TikTok.
Ep 105EPISODE 105: RONIN
EMom and I sat down to watch Ronin, a movie I was sure would cleanse her palate after The Shining. We had a lovely charcuterie board lunch and talked about the director, trivia and stats.
Ep 104EPISODE 104: THE SHINING
EMom and I finally sat down and watched The Shining. We didn't have very much snow to accompany it, but we enjoyed it nevertheless. We had a room service meal from the Waldorf-Astoria in Chicago because the room service at The Stanley was all steak and I had to think of Mom's digestion. We talked trivia, stats and the Kubrick of it all.
Ep 103EPISODE 103: WHITE CHRISTMAS
EMom and I sit down to watch this Christmas classic. We had lovely lettuce wrap sandwiches and talked about the movie. We get a little political at the end, so put on your tinfoil hat and join us!
Ep 102EPISODE 102: DRACULA
EMom and I sat wrapped up Halloween 2025 with Dracula 1931. There is no food in this movie, so as a nod to Bela Lugosi, we had goulash and boy was it good.
Ep 101EPISODE 101: FRANKENSTEIN
EMom and I are doubling back to Halloween 2025 and we watched the 1931 James Whale classic, Frankenstein. We talked about James Whale, the making of the movie and trivia. We had a lovely theme meal of our family's version of Rouladen and we made a ridiculous TikTok
Ep 100EPISODE 100: IDENTITY
EMom and I had a real celebration going on as we watched our 100th movie!
Ep 99EPISODE 99: ABIGAIL
EEnding our streak of favorite movies on our way to Episode 100, Mom and I sat down and watched Abigail. A bright spot in Universal Pictures Dark Universe, this movie is great. We talked the directors and trivia, and Mom learned more about Found Footage Films, and learned that Abigail was not Found Footage, to her relief. Find this movie, it really is one of the better horror movies of the last few years.
Ep 98EPISODE 98: THE WEDDING SINGER
EMom and I sat down with a good meatball and enjoyed The Wedding Singer for the umpteenth time. If you haven't seen this, it's time to move out from under your rock. The soundtracks are bomb. We talked the director, the trivia and just how well Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore mesh on screen.
Ep 97EPISODE 97: TOTALLY AWESOME
EMom and I sat down and watch an unhinged 80's parody, Totally Awesome. This movie had next to no trivia and mom wasn't able to dig too much up on Neil Brennan. It's on YouTube to watch in the shittiest resolution possible, but get your hands on a copy of this, you will love it.
