Would recommend highly for anyone needing someone with brilliant insights on the technical craft and intersection of that craft and the ultimate goal of storytelling! Book Doug to talk about Puss in Boots: The Last Wish! (or any DreamWorks project!)

Doug Fink ✌🏻 @ickybooley.bsky.social · Aug 23

All that said, if anyone ever wants or needs a *guest* to talk about a DreamWorks movie…

Sirenetta basically started as “Once Upon a Time” fanfiction way back when I came up with it, so I had a blast revisiting this show on “Are You My Mother?” Thank you so much for having me, chatting about the best evil queen I've ever seen, and letting me plug Sirenetta! I had a (fiery) blast!

Imagine a mother looking fierce in both a gown and a pantsuit and you've got Regina Mills - aka The Evil Queen - and the subject of our latest episode. Joined by @mattbr.bsky.social from @tinysiren.com to talk about this complex series and complex mother!

Finally got a chance to listen to this one! Really loved how it delved into Joyce as a character we see at both her worst and her best, and the benefit of seeing her grow and evolve and learn to be more accepting and eventually become one of the best moms out there, tragic ending be damned.

Are You My Mother? Podcast About Mothers in Media @mymotherpod.bsky.social · Jun 27

She's got a shovel to protect her daughter (in between grounding her). It's time for us to cover Joyce Summers from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Joined by @chrise1701.bsky.social to talk about this iconic mom. Harlot lipstick? Way to go, Joyce!

We get into the history of the Saturday morning sitcom's lambasted Very Special Episode and how it actually came from a sincere, personal place.

I have to keep telling myself that Lois would not hate me for the typo in this image but I’m also vaguely concerned about riding my bike because I’m worried she loosened the back wheel.

New podcast and you better listen ... or else!

Along with Chris from @playcomics.bsky.social we talk about one of the most incredible, but scariest, moms we've covered on the pod so far with Lois from Malcolm in the Middle.
