    A Sitcom Like "Alice" (1976-1985)
    May 21 2025

    Our "Mother's May" celebration continues with a TV Mom-- a widow with a young son who became one of television's most beloved mother figures, Alice Hyatt. "Alice" wasn't just another sitcom—it was a cultural touchstone that made Linda Lavin a household name and introduced us to unforgettable characters who felt like family.

  • Selective Memories: “I Remember Mama” (1948)

    Selective Memories: “I Remember Mama” (1948)
    May 14 2025

    It’s an interesting Mother’s Day celebration today, as we discuss our two very different experiences with George Steven’s 1948 masterpiece, “I Remember Mama”, the story of the everyday struggles and triumphs of a Norwegian immigrant family in 1910 San Francisco. At the heart of this story stands Mama, portrayed by the extraordinary Irene Dunne in what would be her fifth and final Oscar nominated performance. Dunne brings remarkable authenticity to this character—a woman who manages household finances with military precision yet approaches her family with boundless tenderness.

    Immaculate Mary: “Ordinary People” (1980)
    May 7 2025

    Happy Mother's May everyone! In our first episode for our special "Mother's May" celebration, we discuss one of the seminal dramas of the 1980s- Robert Redford's Oscar-winning film, "Ordinary People" (1980).

    Mary Tyler Moore delivers the performance of her career as Beth Jarrett, America's sweetheart transformed into the emotionally unavailable mother whose brittleness masks unprocessed grief. Timothy Hutton, winning the Oscar at just 20 years old (still the youngest Supporting Actor winner ever), demonstrates remarkable emotional depth as Conrad, the surviving son navigating his recovery after a suicide attempt.
