Jackie Collins, the legendary novelist who redefined Hollywood glamour, joins Christopher and Eric for this fabulous livecast, and the guys are practically besides themselves with excitement the whole time. Jackie shares her advice on writing, social media and meeting men on Grindr. Critic-at-large Jordan Ampersand tries to get in on the action as well.
