📋 Show Notes:🎙️ Episode 8: Do Movies Accurately Portray Motherhood?Subtitle: Moms in MoviesThis week on Mommy Has Questions, Cristina, Jamie, Jess, and Tiffany dive deep into the cultural narrative of motherhood on screen. From Night Bitch to Bluey, the group examines how media shapes our expectations, identities, and experiences as mothers. They explore why it took so long for films to reflect the real emotional and physical realities of parenting, and why so many depictions still feel hollow, idealized, or just plain wrong. The hosts share personal stories about media moments that missed the mark and the few that finally felt true—while unpacking the gender gaps behind the camera that are holding progress back. This episode is an open, honest, and layered look at how storytelling can either reinforce old roles or radically reshape them.🗣️ What We Talk About:- The cultural significance of Night Bitch and why it hit a nerve for moms- How childbirth scenes in movies are often laughably unrealistic- How the male gaze has shaped the dominant narrative of motherhood in media- The loneliness and shame that can result from not seeing your truth reflected on screen- Historical portrayals of moms vs. emerging, more complex characterizations- The importance of female directors, producers and writers telling women’s stories- How movies don’t just reflect culture, but actively create it- What it means to confront cultural stereotypes about mothers before our daughters learn to perpetuate the same things- Representation of fathers and why Bluey might be the role model we didn’t know we needed📚 References:Nightbitch.
