Description

Scott Gairdner (Podcast: The Ride) returns to discuss the biographical drama MOMMIE DEAREST starring Faye Dunaway, Diana Scarwid and Mara Hobel. Frank Perry directed this adaptation of Christina Crawford's eponymous memoir which portrays Crawford's adoptive mother, Hollywood actress Joan Crawford, as unstable and abusive. Featuring a legendary lead performance by Dunaway as Joan Crawford, MOMMIE DEAREST opened in 1981 to such scathing reviews, Paramount Pictures quickly altered the film's ad campaign to market the film as high camp. In the following years, the film gained a cult following as an unintentional comedy and queer classic, but how will it fare when viewed through MNAM's modern parenting perspective? You won't want to miss this, the Mother of all MOMMIE DEAREST discussions, with diversions into The Room, John Waters, Showgirls, The Joker, vaping, Chris Rock, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, and much much more!
