What started as fun conversations about movies and TV shows to pass the time during the pandemic has become a weekly ritual for newbie filmmaker Jackson Bell and his entertainment-loving mom, Tamara. Join this son and mother team as they dissect films that cross genres and generations from a “head” (Jackson) and “heart” (Tamara) perspective.

Today on Talking Movies with My Mom, we recap the eight movies we saw this summer. In the past, summer movies have been defined by cool visuals and special effects, witty dialogue, and breathtaking locations. But this time around, we got all of that and so much more. These movies made us laugh and cry as, for the most part, they tackled deep themes that took us on thoughtful journeys. 

And these movies are:

“Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse”

“Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One”

“Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3”

“Barbie”

“Oppenheimer”

“Asteroid City”

“Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem”

“The Flash”
