b'Erin Lee Carr is a documentary filmmaker\\xa0and writer. Her new film is Mommy Dead and Dearest.\\n\\n \\u201cI feel like I\\u2019ve always had the story down\\u2014that\\u2019s not been really difficult for me. So the difficult thing, I think, for me, has always been access. Can I get the access? Can I withstand the pressure? You know, there\\u2019s been so many times where I wasn\\u2019t being paid to do the job, and I had to wait on the access. And it\\u2019s not for the faint of heart. You know, I could have spent a year and a half of my life doing [Mommy Dead and Dearest] and I could\\u2019ve not gotten the access to Gypsy, and it kind of would\\u2019ve been a wash.\\u201d\\n\\nThanks to MailChimp, Kindle, Squarespace, V by Viacom, and HelloFresh for sponsoring this week\'s episode.\\n@erinleecarr\\nerinleecarr.com\\n[02:00] Mommy Dead and Dearest\\n[02:00] Thought Crimes: The Case of the Cannibal Cop\\n[02:30] "Dee Dee Wanted Her Daughter To Be Sick, Gypsy Wanted Her Mom To Be Murdered" (Michelle Dean \\u2022 BuzzFeed \\u2022 Aug 2016)\\n[04:30] Carr\\u2019s Vice\\xa0archive\\n[05:15] Girls\\n[05:45] Capturing the Friedmans\\n[11:15] "First Animal to Survive in Space" (Motherboard \\u2022 Sep 2012)\\n[12:45] David Carr\\u2019s Archive at The New York Times\\n[13:45] "David Carr: The News Diet of a Media Omnivore" (Fresh Air \\u2022 Oct 2011)\\n[14:15] Click, Print, Gun: The Inside story of the 3D-Printed Gun Movement\\n[25:00] Raw Deal: The Untold Story of NYPD\\u2019s \\u201cCannibal Cop\\u201d (Gil Valle \\u2022 WildBlue Press \\u2022 2017)\\n[32:00] Nick Bilton on the Longform Podcast\\n[32:00] American Kingpin: The Epic Hunt for the Criminal Mastermind Behind the Silk Road (Nick Bilton \\u2022 Portfolio \\u2022 2017)\\n[42:45] Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills\\n[47:00] "Erin Lee Carr\\u2019s New True-Crime Documentary to Air on HBO (Exclusive)" (Gregg Kilday \\u2022 Hollywood Reporter \\u2022 Oct 2016)\\n[50:30] "Laura Poitras, Glen Greenwald and Edward Snowden with David Carr" (Times Talks \\u2022 Feb 2015)\\n[52:15] "Still Rendering" (Medium \\u2022 Feb 2016)\\n[55:00] The Night of the Gun: A reporter investigates the darkest story of his life.
