Our special Mother’s Day episode! We rewatched that notorious 1981 film with that infamous
performance. In Mommie Dearest, Faye Dunaway plays movie star Joan Crawford with reckless
abandon. The divisive, violent portrayal may have damaged Dunaway’s career, but there’s no
denying its staying power. Now, forty years later, its cult ‘comedy’ classic status firmly in place,
can the film be rewatched as it was intended? Do the scenes of abuse still pack a punch? And,
ummm, why didn’t Christina just listen to her mom once in a while? The Old Roommates strap
themselves into this Hollywood nightmare. Listen to this.
