Are You My Mother? - Marge Simpson - The Simpsons
play

12/22/23 • 148 min

There's no one quite like this episode's mother - Marge Simpson from the long-running The Simpsons. Joined by guest Derek B. Gayle (of Gimmicks, Skreeonk!, Falling with Style, and Walloping Websnappers), we talk about this maven of the animated world and the role of a mother in enforcing the rules, tucking in their kids, and eventually letting them become adults.

Also in this episode - decide for yourself what our favorite couch gags say about us, we wonder about the consequences of petty theft, we talk about potential AI voice actors (as usual, Simpsons predicted it?), and nog, nog nog (David's family recipe for "special milk")! Listen for all this and more as we answer the question: is Marge Simpson our mother?

Are You My Mother? - Dawn Meehan - Survivor

Dawn Meehan - Survivor

Are You My Mother?

play

10/27/23 • 139 min

Guided by super-fan, Doug Fink, this episode of the podcast we talk about the many mothers of reality competition television with a specific focus on Season 26 of Survivor and Dawn Meehan.

We discuss how mothers are framed by productions like this, Doug's sneaky early watching after cow's blood led to a in-home banning of future watches, mental health and how unequally a mother's mental health is treated compared to sociopathic men, and the cast of forgettable fans who competed this season.

The episode sparks real joy and hopefully creates more fans of the series Survivor. Whether you are a Dawn-apologist or a sunburnt nerd, you'll have a blast as we answer the question: is Dawn Meehan our mother?

Piper Halliwell - Charmed

Are You My Mother?

play

01/19/24 • 90 min

Three sisters, two versions of an adult version of your kid, and one kickass mom all come together in this episode where we talk about Piper Haliwell from the OG Charmed. Along with guest Joel (from May the Power Protect You Podcast), we talk magic incantations, annoying liberal arts faculty, and cultural appropriation in this packed episode, "Imaginary Fiends."

We totally get what Piper is going for, wanting to understand her pre-verbal son, but is a mother wanting what's normal for their child a barrier to their development, queer identity, and eventual experimentation with a goatee?

Find out as we talk about shoehorned B-plots, the ways our parents tried to protect us, the bonkers 2003 film Latter Days, and substituting actors, all in service of answering the question: is Piper Halliwell our mother?
