March 10, 2025 Contact (Justice for Aliens!)
Send us a text
Hey sweet babies, this week Zach and Sloane are unwrapping the hyper-realistic/completely unrealistic 90's alien think piece, Contact! For those of you who have seen this, I'm assuming we're all on the same page regarding Jodie's hair and wardrobe during the black tie gala scene...?
You guys know what happens when you give Zach and Sloane a space movie with existential dread as a theme and we really dive in, so buckle up for this wild ride into deep space... or Jodie Foster's subconscious?
We love you!
Zach & Sloane

February 24, 2025 101 Dalmatians (Justice for Glenn Close!)
Send us a text
This week on Mummy Dearest Podcast Zach and Sloane unwrap 1996's heartwarming tale of animal cruelty: "101 Dalmatians". The duo discuss everything from Glenn's incredible style to the sheer hotness of the two main dogs: Pongo and Perdie. Truly, how can two animals be so beautiful and stoic and good at acting? Incredible work that deserved to be recognized by the Academy! Zach wonders why anyone would ever want to own a dog and touches on the time he saw the Bodies exhibit in a casino. Sloane tells a story about her grandfather's soul inhabiting her dad's dog's body. And of course they both mention dog genitals multiple, multiple times. All that and so much more on this week's episode of Mummy Dearest Podcast!

February 17, 2025 Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy (Justice for Mark Darcy!)
Send us a text
This week on Mummy Dearest Podcast, Zach and Sloane unwrap 2025's straight-to-Peacock widow rom-com: "Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy"! This is the 4th installment in the Bridget Jones series so you probably know what to expect: sweet but bumbling Bridget squints her way into the hearts of everyone she encounters with her messy hair, sloppy outfits, and pouty little lips. What Zach and Sloane neglected to mention was her friend Tom's concerning health guru / cult leader hair, so please excuse them for not discussing that at length. The movie is predictable but also predictably cute and the perfect thing to watch if you're home sick or if you're above the age of 35. So sit back, turn the volume up loud, and enjoy this week's episode of Mummy Dearest Podcast!

Happy Valentines Week! What says romance like repressed sexuality and total devastation? Nothing! This week we're unwrapping the 2005, award winning, too-sad-to-even-cry film, Brokeback Mountain!

February 03, 2025 Goodfellas (Justice for Ray Liotta's Ghost!)
Send us a text
This week on Mummy Dearest Podcast Zach and Sloane unwrap every Italian-American man's favorite film: "Goodfellas"! Sloane accidentally took a melatonin and an Ambien and a Percocet and some pills she found on the body of Michael Jackson before taping this show so she's a tad slow on the uptake this episode. But don't worry, the duo spend plenty of time talking about cannolis, Strombolis and Zach's plans for his chain of Copacabana nightclubs. The pair are joined by a very special guest: Crawlie Paulie Tall Socks who regales listeners with an off-color joke from Sloane's mom. All that and SO much more on this week's episode of Mummy Dearest Podcast!
