Mommie Dearest (wth Kaycee Felton-Lui)

"No more wire hangers!" "Tina! Bring me the ax." "I'm not mad at you. I'm mad at the dirt." "She doesn't need an ambulance... She's drunk." Can a movie this quotable be that bad? In 1981, yes. Maybe. We're still not sure honestly. What we do know is that our deep dive on Frank Perry's infamous "Mommie Dearest" left us with a new appreciation for the trashy cult classic and its notoriously difficult star, Faye Dunaway . Writer and astrologer Kaycee Felton-Lui joins us to explore the tumultuous production and aftermath, as well as her own experience growing up with the film and even writing a 7th grade paper on the films equally controversial subject, Joan Crawford. Can a film about child abuse be considered camp? Could anyone else have embodied the contradictory madness of Crawford as well as Faye Dunaway? How many careers did the movie end up killing? Why is that little boy strapped down in his bed at night? We're answering all that and more in our latest installment of Gaslight/Gatekeep/Girlboss.
