Content Warning: discussions of sexual abuse, drug addiction and suicide
For our extra special 50th episode (!!!) we're deep diving into the legendary life and status of Miss Norma Jeane, aka Marilyn Monroe. We discuss how her life and achievements have become overshadowed by her tragic death and her forever iconic images, from Andy Warhol's prints, to the white dress above the subway grate and her pink dress in diamonds are a girl's best friend. We look at her sad upbringing and her mistreatment from old Hollywood as well as the impressive things she's achieved in her short life. Pop culture moments of the week include a Free Britney update and Addison Rey's short-lived career as a UFC journalist!
We now have a Patreon with TWO bonus episodes released each month! FOUR episodes of Celebrity Corner and Bad Book Club are out NOW!
