We are—no joke—-an 75 minutes into Barbarian and my mom is like “My money is still on it being that creepy Skarsgard.”
I’m like “on WHAT being bill skarsgard, mom?” and she fucking SHUSHED ME.
For context, mom has not quit her shit running live commentary since we got to the basement. “Who does this? is she really stupid or something? wait what’s that? Is he ok? Are we watching the same movie? Is it still Detroit? This guy! where do I know him from? I like him more.”
Every 5 minutes of Barbarian sees my mom waving her finger at the screen going “ah-ahhh-ah!”
When I ask her what’s up she snaps “SHHH! Im figuring out what’s going to happen!”
Then 20 seconds will go by and she’s grabbing me like “WAIT what’s going to happen?”

I’ve been in the bathroom with a stomachache for the last third of the film but I can still hear her watching in the other room and she is still talking. Probably happier, now that no one is interrupting her viewing experience with answers to questions she doesn’t want to hear.
I’m trying to find the thread where I watched Hereditary with my mom who asked a million questions even when it became clear she’d ALREADY SEEN THE MOVIE when she declared out of nowhere “oh I bet that little girl’s head is going to fall off.”
Here’s my mom watching Tim Robinson while incredibly stoned.

Wow did not expect this tweet to blow up. Feel free to follow me patreon.com/videodrew for maybe more content!
Let’s get the og tweet to 20k likes and I’ll post a video of my mom being awesome AND we’ll do another live tweet movie night, determined by Twitter poll.
WE DID IT! Vote on tonight’s horror movie mom commentary!!! (I’m here till Wednesday so we have time for all you Halloween Ends/Smile/ Bodies Bodies Bodies/ Don’t Worry Darling/Scream fans).
Not trying to sway the votes, as my mom is very interested in X. However as the human being forced to sit next to their mother during a movie, I’d prefer it not to be porn? Lol I’m weird like that. But Ti is a local Delaware boy so he’s got the hometown advantage too.
Also the polls close in an hour and would it change your minds if I told you she’s already confused by my description of #Prey? During thanksgiving dinner she referred to it as the one where “a feminist predator murders a bunch of pilgrims.”
Okay guys bad noodles. My mom took a weed edible and is currently passed out on the couch. Movie postponed till tomorrow.
