Are final words from a vindictive force in your life somehow sincere hopes for a better future for your child, or was it hats all along? We'll find out as we talk about 30 Rock fan favorite, Colleen Donaghy. Joined by returning guest Kevin from the May the Power Protect You podcast, we talk about references that are Lost on us, Florence Henderson, poorly aged references, and the art of criticism.

BYOG (the G is for Gatorade) as we talk about episodes "My Whole Life is Thunder" and "Florida," tracking the final episodes of Colleen and the complicated relationship that Jack has with her, all as we ask the critical question: is Colleen Donaghy our mother?

Spit out your chewing gum, rewind your VHS tapes, and for heavens sakes sort your recycling as we talk about cult classic Serial Mom and the titular character, Beverly Sutphin. Along with the co-hosts of The Mixed Reviews podcast, Louie and Gavin, we go deep into the suburbs to see crimes both perceived and very, very real.

Does a mother's love extend far enough to justify disemboweling the boy who broke your daughter's heart?

Find out as we talk about day drinking, cuckolded husbands, and dried pussywillows as we answer the question: is Beverly Sutphin our mother?

Three sisters, two versions of an adult version of your kid, and one kickass mom all come together in this episode where we talk about Piper Haliwell from the OG Charmed. Along with guest Joel (from May the Power Protect You Podcast), we talk magic incantations, annoying liberal arts faculty, and cultural appropriation in this packed episode, "Imaginary Fiends."

We totally get what Piper is going for, wanting to understand her pre-verbal son, but is a mother wanting what's normal for their child a barrier to their development, queer identity, and eventual experimentation with a goatee?

Find out as we talk about shoehorned B-plots, the ways our parents tried to protect us, the bonkers 2003 film Latter Days, and substituting actors, all in service of answering the question: is Piper Halliwell our mother?

Pause your somewhat threatening chorus of Latin opera, because this episode we're covering Jenova, the calamity of the skies from Final Fantasy VII. No stranger to complicated stories and a forbidden love of bad boys, guest Cass Proffitt from the Distant Echoes Podcast joins to talk alien mimicry, trippy graphics, and tales of unethical science that drive the plot of this monumental entry in the Final Fantasy series of video games (and related media!).

Buckle in, because we're going deep into Disc 3 plot turns, how mothers and mother figures can be destructive, and go seemingly out of our way to not even mention three of the party characters as we answer the question: is Jenova our mother?

There's no one quite like this episode's mother - Marge Simpson from the long-running The Simpsons. Joined by guest Derek B. Gayle (of Gimmicks, Skreeonk!, Falling with Style, and Walloping Websnappers), we talk about this maven of the animated world and the role of a mother in enforcing the rules, tucking in their kids, and eventually letting them become adults.

Also in this episode - decide for yourself what our favorite couch gags say about us, we wonder about the consequences of petty theft, we talk about potential AI voice actors (as usual, Simpsons predicted it?), and nog, nog nog (David's family recipe for "special milk")! Listen for all this and more as we answer the question: is Marge Simpson our mother?

Creepy, kooky, altogether ooky, but a mother through and through. Of course that's Morticia Addams of The Addams Family, the first multi-media magnate we're covering for the podcast. Comics, television shows, animation, films, a Broadway film, and even a pinball machine! Along with author and podcaster Stik Braxton from the Two Tall Boyz podcast, we explore the peculiarity of a loving relationship, responsible parenting with somewhat indestructible children, and our childhood awakenings from the wheel of pain.

There are a lot of versions of Morticia, but for this episode, we are discussing the performance from Anjelica Huston from the films The Addams Family and The Addams Family Values.

We talk about queer icons and identities, being publicly kinky at an auction, and David's emo phase as we answer the question: is Morticia Addams our mother?

Want to learn more about BDSM and kink? The book David couldn't quite remember that pays homage to Morticia's gardening style, Screw the Roses, Send Me the Thorns: The Romance and Sexual Sorcery of Sadomasochism.

What happens when you let two Michiganders get together and talk about one of the only major exports that features your state, the television program Home Improvement? Find out as Mike Nowak joins this episode of the podcast to talk about one of the most put-upon mothers of 1990s sitcoms, Jill Taylor.

We talk about Tim Allen's stand-up, how what brats the Taylor kids are to their younger brother, and how much work Patricia Richardson is doing to hold this show up. But to be honest, 60% of the episode is us talking about how much love we have for Al Boreland.

So whether or not you're from Michigan, you'll have a blast as we answer the question: is Jill Taylor our mother?

Guided by super-fan, Doug Fink, this episode of the podcast we talk about the many mothers of reality competition television with a specific focus on Season 26 of Survivor and Dawn Meehan.

We discuss how mothers are framed by productions like this, Doug's sneaky early watching after cow's blood led to a in-home banning of future watches, mental health and how unequally a mother's mental health is treated compared to sociopathic men, and the cast of forgettable fans who competed this season.

The episode sparks real joy and hopefully creates more fans of the series Survivor. Whether you are a Dawn-apologist or a sunburnt nerd, you'll have a blast as we answer the question: is Dawn Meehan our mother?

Along the way, we talk about disappointing mother representation in role playing games, top real estate agents in DFW, and Bobby as a potential queer icon. All in service of answering the question: is Peggy Hill our mother?
