The Best Movie 2 Pod

We’re back, and we survived Mother’s Day without any violence. Comedian Esther Manito joins us to talk the best movie mums. 

 In this episode of The Best Movie 2, we dive into some of the most iconic movie mums. Whether it’s nurturing, tough love, or unexpected wisdom, these films showcase the many sides of what it means to be a great mum. Tune in for a cinematic tribute to mums everywhere!

Highlights include Esther calling Bambi’s mum a slag, the poor parenting in Amityville Horror, we return to Mrs Doubtfire, and some controversial takes on Stepmom.

We have comedian and podcaster Milo Edwards on this week to discuss men's need to show movies to others. For those sick of hearing "oh you've never seen this?! We have to watch it now".

Along the way we'll discuss Bootle vs Finsbury Park crackheads, what is the best Heat quote to use on a heckler, was Thatcher cremated or buried, and which deceased politician would you snort the ashes of?

We also wonder why were we all shown Pretty Woman when we were 8? And did we all think anvils would play a bigger role in our lives?

This week are joined by comedian Kate Martin to guide you through your gay awakening via cinema.

WIll Step Up 2: The Streets make you as gay as it made Jamie? Is Michelle Pfifer’s Catwoman the key to your awakening? Did teenage Edward Furlong set you on your road to lesbianism? And why were the 90s so bad? Also there’s some pretty graphic descriptions of Jamie and Kate’s first time on poppers, you’ve been warned. 

Oh also halfway through we start singing Steps. Sorry.

Like strikes in the steel mill, Josh returning to the podcast is inevitable. This week we're looking at the best movie to represent the North of England, as we debunk some northern stereotypes (we do have indoor toilets and WIFI), we look at the North in modern Hollywood (Hello Batman jumping off the Liver building), and we look at the Thatcher ruined our town Trilogy. Also yes we manage to shoehorn the 2005 Champions League Final in there.

2025 is not disappointing us in being just as insufferable as 2024. We brought in the annoyingly optimistic comedian Alexandra Haddow to cheer us up and advise on how to escape the January funk.

Along the way we'll ask the big questions:

Would Rocky have been happier if instead of raw eggs he had the tin of beans with the little sausages in?

Why is Maggie Smith so hot for Peter in Hook?

Is Stanley Ipkiss a dangerous incel?

Have a listen, all the best surviving January. Love you!
