Please indulge Emily by not worrying about how big this picture is, cause it is everything.

In this feedback ep– you guessed it. Em and Sue read your feedback and make their own comments and theories along the way.

At the end, look for (finally) Em’s latest Psycho themed dream. Spoiler Alert it was the night before Easter and that may have played into some details.

Yes, Mother: Bates Motel, S4E4 “The Lights of Winter” Recap

bates-motel-norma-romero-aithWell, tonight was a major bummer of a Monday with no new Bates Motel to watch. So, in lieu of watching, why don’t you listen to 3 sisters talk about last week’s ep? It’s the best we can do…

That’s right, I said three- since she was in town, we got our sister Cat (La Gata) to join us in breaking down this fantastic episode.

Yes, Mother: Bates Motel, S4E4: “The Lights of Winter” Feedback

28-bates-motel.w529.h352In The Lights of Winter, we see Norma and Alex awkwardly face each other at breakfast…Oh let’s face it- the awkwardness was alllll Norma. She ends up meeting him at the Winter Lights Festival though in the end (after a little pep talk with Emma), and is then smooth as hot toddies. Meanwhile, Norman breaks out of Pineview to go to a strip club? Yep. Shenanigans and feather boas ensue. Oh and a visit from Mother of course, for this isn’t the type of place Norman likes…

In this episode of the podcast, Em and Sue (and sometimes La Gata) read your feedback, come up with theories and mama bear. THEN we are joined with one of our listeners who got to visit the set during the filming of this episode, and she gives us some behind the scenes info on their day’s experiences.

Join us!

ps Don’t read too much into the fact that the song is about a girl named “Emily”, it’s just a coincidence.

Yes Mother: Bates Motel S4E3: ” ‘Til Death Do You Part”

960Is that wedding bells we hear? Why yes it is. Is that the sound of my new husband rearranging stuff upstairs? Hmmmm. What did I get myself into? Don’t worry Norma…what could go wrong? Here at Yes Mother we are in pure denial that anything will go wrong and will happily write fanfiction about the happiest couple in the world, running the town and a lucrative motel business and are gloroiously happy til death do they part. A long, long, time from now. *sigh*
What? Who? Where did I go for a second? This is Bates Motel. It’s all going to go to #@$%!& isn’t it?

Ah well, won’t the ride be fun?

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Bates. Or Romero. Or Bates-Romero. She’s keeping her name!

Yes Mother (Bates Motel): S4E2 “Good Night, Mother” Episode Recap

romeroIn this episode of Bates Motel, we spend some quality time with Norma and Norman. Although it’s not all His Girl Friday, card games and cake baking… Nope- it’s comprised mostly of suspicion and antics. Of course it is. Oh, and one other little thing– Romero accepted Norma’s fool marriage proposal, and it was enough to make even Sue squee.
In this podcast (besides squeeing) we go over the entire episode scene by scene, discussing the finer points. Join us!

Disclaimer: Sorry for the lack of staff at our hotel enterprises. Ra’uf is doing the very best that he can. We’re thinking about hiring Cagney and Lacey.

 

Yes, Mother; S4E2:” Goodnight, Mother” Feedback discussion

hqdefaultEpisode 2 did not disappoint! Nor did it lack in feedback. We thought we better break this up into manageable pieces. We may do this quite a bit in the future if you guys keep sending us feedback (DON’T STOP!) The episode discussion will follow shortly (like tomorrow).

We added “discussion” on there because you know we do more than just read your feedback.

At the end you get a glimpse of what podcasting with Emily can be like.
