B Movies Blog

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping wine mom content into the ol’ VCR. 

Let’s face it. We all have unsavory movies and shows we love. I’m a horror fan to my core, but sometimes, I need some lighthearted content that makes me want to sip my Dr. Pepper out of a wine glass (for context, I’ve been sober for almost two years).

Let me also be clear. It’s not that these shows are bad; it’s just that their essence screams Target throw pillows paired with a beige knit quilt. They make you want to redo your entire kitchen in Coke memorabilia and say, “Oh bless your heart,” if you will. 

As I told my friends the other day, I’m just a single mom who works too hard, who loves her kids and never stops when it comes to this type of content. 

So, friends, put up your messy buns and grab your yoga pants because we’re talking about the specific niche of wine mom content. 🍷

Movies 

Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood: Now this one is a true classic. You have an amazing cast, the complexities of mother/daughter relationships, and most importantly, Ellen Burstyn. KP even made me a tote bag that declared me a Petite Ya-Ya. (HBO Max) 

Where The Heart Is: If you can go into a Walmart and not survey what products you could use if you have to live within its aisles, I’m sorry. (VOD)

Hope Floats: KP and I scoured thrift stores to find her a silver lunchbox to use as a purse like Birdee’s. Also, there have been many a’ time I would’ve loved to publicly air all of my hometown’s dirty laundry. (Tubi) 

The First Wives Club: If “Sisters Are Doin’ It For Themselves” doesn’t make you feel invincible, I don’t know how to help you. (HBO Max) 

This sister is lighting her cigarette for herself. 

Shows 

Sweet Magnolias: I’m responsible for getting several friends and coworkers addicted to this show. It’s absolutely ridiculous, but you need to watch it immediately. (Netflix)

Firefly Lane: Is it essentially Beaches? Yes. Do I still think you should watch it? Absolutely. (Netflix)

Dead to Me: I’m a Jen sun, and a Judy rising. (Netflix)

Ginny & Georgia: I wasn’t going to put Ginny & Georgia on this list. However, Raymond Ablack from Degrassi: The Next Generation plays a love interest for Georgia, so I’m legally obligated. (Netflix)

YOU: I can’t express this enough – YOU SHOULDN’T WANT TO BE WITH JOE. (Netflix)

This entire show smells like a TJ Maxx.
