Seth Rogan and a host of Apatow comedy regulars dip their toes in the CG animated movie world with Sausage Party, an R-rated comedy that does for groceries what Toy Story did for Toys with much more disturbing results.

As expected, the film is infused with raunchy humor and double entendre that often pushes the line between funny and awkward. Throughout this film I often had to remind myself of the comforting fact that it was not a documentary.

Recently, I appeared as a guest on the Geek Up and Go podcast for their June Movie Preview episode, and I did a little excess homework.

We discussed all the big releases, but I took the time to watch all the independent trailers I could as well, so I’ve decided to share my thoughts on a few of them.

Now, I can’t guarantee I’ll be seeing these in the theater, that’s based upon what comes to the independent cinemas near me, but I will be keeping an eye on them for their streaming releases. And you should too.

Captain America Civil War is indeed a great popcorn movie and another strong addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). But I can’t help but wonder how much you miss if you aren’t fully absorbed into the MCU.

It has all of the action, drama, and comedy, that comes from the great writing we expect from the MCU, but it also stands like a keystone on top of everything that came before it in Phase One and Phase Two.

It has so many callbacks, not just in plot, but in dialogue, that I just have to ask, “can you enjoy this in a vacuum?”

Moms are there for your whole life… You don’t stop needing them ever. And as much as I love my real mom, there are other moms that have taught me lessons along the way, and some of them weren’t real.

So here are eight pop culture moms who, like my real mom, have and continue to teach me lessons whether I want them to or not.
