Charlene and Chelsea discuss the notorious 1981 film adaptation of Christina Crawford's autobiography Mommie Dearest which focuses on her tumultuous relationship with her movie star mother Joan Crawford (played here by another Hollywood Legend, Faye Dunaway). As it is March 2020, and COVID-19 has us all self-isolating, we are recording separately via Zoom so we hope you'll forgive any aural imperfections. Thanks to Bren Murphy for all the tech help and to Meagan Hyland for our lovely artwork! And to all the gang at Light House and Pálás Cinemas, And to our regular book clubbers who we miss dearly! We look forward to get chatting again very soon. Read the book. Watch the film. Join the chats.
