In this episode, I got to spend an hour with the authentic, the powerful, the empathetic, and the one and only Mama Tot. She creates a safe space for ANYONE who sit with her, she empowers those who need it and she, with every plate of pickled ocra, makes this world a better place.

The One Where The Total Eclipse Proved Thoughts Matter More Than Fact
In this episode, using the total eclipse (song AND real life event) as a metaphor, I dive into the base of human nature - the need to feel important and the need for community. AND, I prove that the 'facts over feelings' crowd are scared and insecure humans who are not ready to understand the power and transformative nature of the human emotion. It starts revolutions, it paves the way to progress and it is the best proof of the human soul.

The One Where I Used Jaws 3 To Shape the Curriculum
In this episode, I highlight some of the most important movies created in the 80s and how they can be used to help shaped and implement educational curriculum. Just wait until you see how I use Raiders of the Lost Arc in science class!
Customer Reviews
Very well said about the education system and STEVE
Thank you Jo for everything. As an adult that was a “passed through” student I wish that your words resonate with someone who can make changes because we will never go forward if our children are not taught what forward looks like! I’d love to do a podcast with you about how hard they make our adulthood by “not seeing our struggles”. Keep spreading that smile and know that you are loved and appreciated!
You make me smile
Thanks for your reviews of the horror movies you love. I’m a retired English professor and I always used horror texts in my classes to analyze cultural fears and our values, and the students loved it. They never realized how much can truly be found in a thriller. Monsters are metaphors for our fears! But your reviews made me smile and these days we need more of that. Keep it up!

PS
find a movie called “Dead and Buried”
And if you don’t mind subtitles (two Korean films) “II Saw the Devil” kinda on the gory side, but an excellent story. And “Train to Busan” omg…best zombie movie ever.

I love your Grandma Ruby stories.
