Cherry Bombs - The Underappreciated Movies Podcast

This month Dustin & Nik celebrate Mother's Day with the biggest mother of them all, Mommie Dearest! Join us for a Mother's Day brunch of bloody steak, Pepsi-Cola and violent mood swings. Leave the wire hangers and bring the axe as we discuss the deranged genius of Frank Perry's biopic monster movie and dish about The Notorious F.A.Y.E. We love you, Mommie Dearest. We really mean it!
Content Warning: In this episode we have some fun with the outrageous and melodramatic 1981 Hollywood version of Mommie Dearest. This episode is about the movie itself, NOT the book, the traumatic real life events alleged in it or the very real and serious issue of domestic violence. Despite this distinction, sensitive listeners may still find the subject matter and certain film clips disturbing. Discretion is advised.

In this special Oscar month bonus episode, Dustin and Nik are joined by some favorite Cherry Bombs guests to watch the 1998 Academy Awards broadcast in it's entirety (complete with commercials)! It's the year Oscar got it mostly right, from Titanic's rightful sweep to a bonkers Men in Black interpretive dance number, "the exciting" Michael Bolton going the distance and multiple shout outs to The Postman and Anaconda. If you make it the end of this aggressively niche 4 hour endeavor, congratulations... you've finished the Internet.

But we're here to rehab its reputation and make the case for why Alien 3 is the most optimistic Alien film of them all. Subscribe today and never again apologize for the movies you love!
