S3E1 - Mommie Dearest

WE'RE BAAAAAACK! For our season 3 opener, we thought we'd go back to our roots...your three favorite podcasters, as wee babes, were once film and television students at Boston University. And what better way to celebrate that legacy than highlighting movies from BU Alums?! And what better alum to start with than Katie's favorite 1962 CFA graduate, Faye Dunaway? And what better film to highlight than the one that arguably killed her career, 1981's Mommie Dearest?! A bitter, harrowing look into the COMPLETE INSANITY that was SCREEN QUEEN Joan Crawford's life from 1939-1977, written from the point of view of her first adopted daughter, Christina Crawford. Based on the best-selling book of the same title, watch as Joan overcomes the insane amount of obstacles thrown at her on a daily basis: Children who just REFUSE to give all their toys away on their birthdays, who make ungodly messes, who won't help chop down rose bushes in the middle of the night, who won't eat rare steak when it's been left out for days, who have the AUDACITY to be anything more than FANS, boyfriends and husbands who have NEEDS, studios who won't give Joan her due respect...all this, and (say it with us) NO. WIRE. HANGERS. EVER! Welcome, dear listeners, to season 3 of Let Me Introduce You...this ain't our first time at the rodeo...
