Mother's Day 2021: The best moms from movies and television

Here's an idea: How much have you thought about your mom as anything but your mom? Our moms each have a character that's all their own — one which deserves to be celebrated.

This Mother’s Day, The Mothership podcast is honoring our favorite pop culture moms from TV shows and movies — moms we see help other people thrive.

"In Stranger Things, Joyce Byers becomes this very protective, strong-willed woman. It's fun watching her transform," says host Brett Molina.

We're also talking about mothers who challenge expectations of motherhood.

Admit it — we can’t help but cringe at moms like Lucille Bluth on "Arrested Development" and Regina George’s mom in "Mean Girls."

Hosts Kelly Lawler, Shannon Green, and Brett Molina celebrate these moms and more on the latest episode of The Mothership podcast.
