In this edition of the Yippee-Ki-Yay Mother Podcast, the gang discusses the 1935 classic, “The Bride of Frankenstein.” This was another entry in the Universal Monster Series that started with “Dracula” and “Frankenstein.” This film is considered one of the greatest sequels ever filmed with stand out performances by Boris Karloff, Elsa Lanchester and a […]

My husband and I have been together since, well as I tell folks, God was a boy. And while it hasn’t quite been that long, we’ve been with together long enough to be aware of each other’s idiosyncrasies—even if we still don’t fully understand them.

With many people still quarantining because of the COVID-19 pandemic, quite a number are ordering groceries online. My husband and I have done this many times. One cool thing about it is that if you’re looking for an item that the store doesn’t carry, the app will suggest another one as a replacement. That sounds […]

My husband and I were talking recently, and it turns out that I’ve missed my calling. Instead of being a writer, I should have been a doctor. Not because I’d be great at medical procedures. I am so weak-stomached that I can’t even watch when I get my own blood taken. When my friends in […]

It was a normal, sunny day in the land of Wojo. And in her home office, our heroine was reading through some notes on her desk, preparing to write a story. The townspeople—AKA her two dogs—were sleeping peacefully at her feet. It was a good day. Until it arrived…

In this edition, the gang is full of soul as they discuss 1991’s “The Commitments.” Alan Parker’s rockin’ film tells the story of the rise and fall of the hardest working band in Dublin. A cast of unknowns (most of whom are musicians), Dublin locations, and a great soundtrack, make for an enjoyable film. Watch […]

The winner of our “Halloween Roulette” is Drew’s pick, 2005’s “The Descent.” This movie is the perfect choice in keeping with the spirit of Halloween. This scare-fest, directed by Neil Marshall, starts strong and never lets up. If you like your horror dark, tense, relentless, and surprising…you will love this one. One thing to watch […]

I usually write a Halloweenesque column that focuses on the rules of Trick-or-Treating. But with the pandemic and quarantine happening, I figured that I needed a new theme. This year, I’m going to give you tips on What To Do If You Find Yourself In A Horror Movie.

My husband and I love to play games. While we like everything from Taboo to Monopoly to Scattergories, there’s one game that we play all fall long. We call it “What’s the Thermostat set on?” We’ve been playing this game since we first got married. As the years have passed, the game is just as […]
