Talking Movies with My Mom™ is not another movie review podcast. Instead, newbie filmmaker Jackson Bell and his mom, Tamara, choose a topic – such as action anime, worst sequels, and directors’ first movies – then each pick movies based on that topic and watch them together. What started as a family tradition has become a weekly podcast where we spill our thoughts in enthusiastic, entertaining, and definitely unexpected give-and-takes. Join us as we put the FUN in FUNctional family while talking movies, sometimes with other movie-loving guests, but always from a "head" (Jackson) and "heart" (Tamara) perspective.
