On this Mother’s Day, we discuss what makes a good mom by highlighting the best moms in film. Moms are magical people who make great sacrifices and efforts for us. At the same time, they’re very common. Everyone’s got one, to varying degrees. For that reason they can be overlooked or taken for granted. But to make a movie character a mom completely changes the dynamic of the film, and adds instant weight and background that the audience connects with. We also discuss the writer’s guild strike a bit, and Dustin gives a very shocking review of “Beau is Afraid.”
