Ep 94: "Mommie Dearest" Revisited

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