Podcasts about Heavenly Creatures

Welcome to Director Watch! On this AwardsWatch podcast, co-hosts Ryan McQuade and Jay Ledbetter attempt to breakdown, analyze, and ultimately, get inside the mind of some of cinema's greatest auteurs. In doing so, they will look at their filmographies, explore what drives them artistically and what makes their decision making process so fascinating. Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. On episode 103 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys are joined by AwardsWatch contributor Karen Peterson to discuss the next film in their Peter Jackson series, The Lovely Bones (2009). Oh how the mighty fall. By the end of the 2000s, director Peter Jackson was still riding off the high of The Lord of the Rings and King Kong, as he looked to make his next project. In finding the novel The Lovely Bones, Jackson connected with the idea of a young girl using the afterlife to process her death as well as help her family heal after said tragedy, and attempt to catch the person who killed her. Using CGI and green-screen for the in-between world and the afterlife, Jackson tried to bring together one of the most popular young-adult novels of the time, but in doing so, got distracted by his special effects and new techniques for these sequences, and instead, he created an emotionless slog of a film that was (and still is) considered by all to be a massive misstep within his career. Ryan, Jay, and Karen breakdown the film, how Jackson and his team did in adapting the novel to the big screen, the major casting shift at the center of the film, the current status of Saoirse Ronan's career, how Stanley Tucci should never have hair in a movie, and how massive of a misstep it is from the same mind that brought us Heavenly Creatures. You can listen to the Director Watch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. This podcast runs 2h21m. The guys will be back next week to conclude their series on the films of Peter Jackson with a review of his set of other Middle Earth films, The Hobbit trilogy.

In this episode of Queer Cinema Catchup, Allison and Joe dive deep into Peter Jackson's 1994 film, 'Heavenly Creatures.' They discuss the intense, imaginative, and destructive relationship between two teenage girls in 1950s New Zealand, focusing on themes of adolescent intensity; burgeoning queer identity; and the potentially dangerous allure of fantasy. Their conversation also highlights the remarkable performances of Melanie Lynskey and Kate Winslet in their film debuts, with analysis of significant scenes; the impact of social and familial pressure; and the depiction of queerness amidst a true crime narrative. 00:00 Introduction to Heavenly Creatures03:39 Melanie Lynskey's Queer Filmography05:26 Kate Winslet's Queer Filmography 10:54 Emotional Impact of Heavenly Creatures16:37 Background and Analysis of the True Story30:11 Juliet's Nightmare and the Murder31:54 Exploring Queerness in the Film33:50 Parental Concerns and Societal Pressures40:23 Fantasy vs. Reality50:26 Christianity and the Fourth Realm01:04:14 Final Thoughts on the Film Hosted on Acast.

Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. On episode 98 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys are joined by Brian Tallerico, Managing Editor of RogerEbert.com, to discuss the next film in their Peter Jackson series, The Frighteners (1996). The critical success of Heavenly Creatures proved to put Jackson on the map, with Hollywood calling for him to start making bigger pictures. In writing a treatment in 1992 for an idea that would become The Frighteners, Oscar winning director Robert Zemeckis viewed their idea as a chance to be a spin off to the television series Tales from the Crypt, centering on a small town private eye who can see and speak to the dead. In working with Jackson and Fran Walsh, Zemeckis liked the idea of the young director making the film, and thus became the last film he would make before the biggest project of his life. But is it good, is it successful, or is it a forgotten relic that doesn't make sense within Jackson's filmography. Ryan, Jay, and Brian debate where The Frighteners lands, the importance of Weta Digital, the career of Michael J. Fox, Jackson getting the movie filmed in New Zealand even though it takes place in America, and preview the start of the boys' journey to Middle Earth over the next couple of weeks.

On episode 97 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys are joined by film critic Jesse Nussman to discuss the next film in their Peter Jackson series, Heavenly Creatures (1994). After making a name for himself as a horror director, Jackson took a different route for his next film, incorporating his genre sensibilities for a drama about a real life murder case in New Zealand. Centered around two young girls who become friends and a tight bond that is threatened by their parents, who find it stranger than your average friendship. In an attempt to be with each other forever, the two girls come up with a plan to run away, and in doing so, commit a heinous crime that shocked the entire country. By tackling this subject, Jackson was able to embody a magical realism to the entire film, particularly in the imaginative world the girls have built for each other, and in doing so, created a one of a kind bio-pic that is haunting and heartbreaking. Ryan, Jay, and Jesse breakdown their thoughts on the film, if running away was a good plan, the murder weapon used in the crime, the breakout performances for Melanie Lynskey and Kate Winslet as well as the different paths each actress took, Jackson's imagery in the dream world, if the extended cut adds anything new to the story, and how hard it is to find this film on streaming and physical media.  You can listen to the Director Watch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more.

Jodie and Andrea are kicking off our new movie series with Heavenly Creatures, not just Melanie Lynskey's film debut, but a true crime story that's full of themes that Yellowjackets keeps circling: queerness, violence, fantasy, and the messy emotional world of teenage girls. It's also directly referenced in the show's original pitch deck, making it the perfect place to start.Next week, we're diving into Richard Donner's 1985 coming-of-age adventure classic The Goonies. It shows up in Season 3, and while it might seem like a big shift from Heavenly Creatures, at its core, it's a story about intense young bonds, kids chasing escape, and the ways adults shape the world around them. So if you ignore the brutal real-life murder, it's really not that far off.Recommended Reading:“Let's Moider Mother: Heavenly Creatures and the Politics of Delusion” by Betty Jay“Heavenly Creatures Is a Queer Adolescent Nightmare” by Drew Burnett GregoryIf you're reading this, that means you've probably got your podcatcher of choice open right now.

Welcome to Director Watch! On this AwardsWatch podcast, co-hosts Ryan McQuade and Jay Ledbetter attempt to breakdown, analyze, and ultimately, get inside the mind of some of cinema's greatest auteurs.

Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. On episode 96 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys discuss the first film in their Peter Jackson series, Braindead (1992). The journey for the boys to talk about Peter Jackson has taken a long road, winding road to get here, much like the director's acclaimed trilogy. But in one of the more fascinating careers of the last thirty years, Peter Jackson saw a rise to fame after years of making scrappy, independent horror-leaning films that landed him a couple of big checks that became some of the most known films of the 21st century. By 1992, Jackson had already made two films; lesser known titles Bad Taste and Meet the Fables (which the guys give their brief thoughts on at the beginning of the episode). But it was his third film, Braindead, that was his breakout; a zombie comedy splatter film about a son's relationship with his needy mother that turns gory when she is bitten by a hybrid rat-monkey creature and begins to transform into a zombie. In the vein of the Evil Dead franchise, Jackson goes all out with the gore and mayhem to allow for a unique, memorable horror experience like no other. Ryan and Jay breakdown their thoughts on the film, the level of gore and blood in Braindead, ponder how this guy went on to make the films that he did, discuss their favorite kills in the film, preview the rest of the Jackson series and explain why this was the right time to finally do this series.

Well, that's another season of Yellowjackets under our belts. Now that we've had a little time to digest the finale, Andrea and Jodie are back to wrap up Season 3. We're clarifying some of the more complex moments from “Full Circle,” breaking down cast reactions, sharing some of our listeners' comments and questions, and finally (finally!) Andrea takes us to Theory Corner for her long-threatened breakdown of how Freud's concept of the uncanny shows up in the show, like, everywhere.If you're new here, we hope you'll stick around during the off-season! We're kicking things off with a look at the movies that either inspired or have been referenced in Yellowjackets, starting with Heavenly Creatures, Melanie Lynskey's big screen debut!

Joel Gunderson  of Heavenly Creatures, Coopers Hall, Grassa, St. Jack and a host of places, joins us again to talk about how deeply Trump's tariffs would affect the wine and restaurant industries.  Coincidentally, the tariffs were suspended just minutes before we started recording this episode.  But we talk about the stress uncertainty puts on the industry and how things have just begun to bounce back in Portland.  We also touch on what it takes to become one of the most celebrated people in the industry nationwide, and some of the ways his staff approaches hospitality.   Right at the Fork is supported by:  Zupan's Markets: www.zupans.com RingSide SteakHouse: www.RingsideSteakHouse.com  Portland Food Adventures: www.PortlandFoodAdventures.com

It's another episode where opinion is split between the Queer Girl Film Club crew. G didn't like 1994's New Zealand crime drama ‘Heavenly Creatures' and she wants to hear from Alice and Holly about why they did like it… not that Alice and Holly can agree on a very fundamental question: is this film even lesbian?Along the way they discuss the HUGE names involved in this film (pre-Lord Of The Rings Peter Jackson giving film debuts to Kate Winslet and Melanie Lynskey!), intense teenage friendships, the oppressive nature of 1950s colonial life, and bad parenting. We're trying not to be a true crime podcast.CN: Spoilers, swearing, discussion of murder.

Look, I don't like to brag but in case you hadn't noticed, we've got Kate Winslet on How To Fail this week. ACTUAL KATE WINSLET! The one and only!  And oh my goodness, what an incredible guest she is: acutely intelligent, funny and brilliantly forthright. We covered so much ground - from the media obsession with her body image, to her regret at giving up tap-dancing, her feelings of failure around not yet having directed, working with Emma Thompson and the time Woody Allen called her ‘a bad actress'...it's *all* here. We talk about a career that started at the age of 17 in Heavenly Creatures and went on to encompass some of the biggest roles in the biggest movies of all time - Sense and Sensibility, Titanic, Iris, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and so much more. Along the way, Winslet has won  an Academy Award, two Emmys, five Baftas, five Golden Globes and been awarded a CBE. Now, 48, Winslet's titular role in Lee, the biopic of war photographer Lee Miller, also marks her first time as producer. It was a passion project she was determined to get made, although it took her eight long years to do so. And for anyone who wants to hear more about the filming of The Holiday and whether she and Leonardo di Caprio are still friends, then you *have* to tune into Failing With Friends, our subscriber episode, where Winslet spills all the beans.

Pauline Parker and Juliet Hulme were just your typical teenage girls living in Christchurch, New Zealand in the 1950's, or so everyone thought. The pair became fast friends through their mutual health issues that excluded them from gym class. Then, they just as quickly established their mutual love for all things dark and depraved. The girls' became obsessed with each other and with living out their disturbing fantasies. Pauline's parents in particular became extremely concerned with the relationship. So, when Juliet's parents, Henry and Hilda Hulme, decided to ship her to South Africa, Pauline knew her mother, Honorah Parker, would stop her from going with Juliet. Tune in as Savannah details the unbelievable plan and flawless execution Pauline and Juliet conducted. Meanwhile, Elysia is simply befuddled as to why they would ever think it would work.

In episode 30, Johnny talks to Academy Award-winning art director and production designer Grant Major.
Described by Vanity Fair as ‘the architect of New Zealand's greatest cinematic achievements', Grant has an impressive body of work. 
His work in the early 1990s on Jane Campion's An Angel At My Table led him to work with Peter Jackson on Heavenly Creatures. He remained in the Peter Jackson fold on The Frighteners, followed by the Lord Of The Rings trilogy and King Kong. He also worked on Niki Caro's Whale Rider in the early 2000s, and recently reprised his collaboration with Jane Campion on the Oscar-nominated The Power Of The Dog. 
Grant has been nominated for five Academy Awards, winning the Oscar in 2003 for his work on The Return Of The King.
Their talk covers Grant's career from working in New Zealand television in the 1970s and the BBC in the 1980s, to conquering Hollywood with Jane Campion and Peter Jackson throughout the 1990s and beyond. They discuss Grant's influences from filmmakers like David Lynch, Stanley Kubrick and Ray Harryhausen, and Grant shares what it's like to witness the first and only take of a devastatingly emotional Oscar-nominated acting performance! 
This conversation was recorded online in mid-July 2024.

This interview is with Mark Gotelli of Heavenly Creatures. In this interview, Mark talks about his life and love for all things wine and poetry. Mark shares about his early life and growing up in the suburbs of California. He goes on to talk about how he discovered his passion and love for wine.

Before he leaves, Mark shares some of the things he is looking forward to.This interview was conducted by Rich Schmidt outside of Heavenly Creatures in Portland on June 5, 2024.

On the afternoon of June 22, 1954, Agnes Ritchie was preparing ice cream for two customers in her shop when two teenage girls, Pauline Parker and Juliet Hulme, burst through the front door, screaming for help and saying one of their mothers had been killed. Agnes and her husband followed the girls into the nearby wooded area, where they found the badly beaten and obviously dead body of Honorah Parker. The couple wasn't able to get much out of either girl, only that the woman had slipped and hit her head, but their behavior was strange and something about the whole scene didn't feel right.Just two days later, Parker and Hulme were charged with the murder of Pauline's mother, Honorah Parker. According to the prosecution, the girls had developed an intense bond and had created romantic fantasy in the months leading up to the murder that bordered on obsessiveness. In 1954, the girls' relationship became threatened when Hulme's parents divorced and began talking of relocating. Fearing they would be separated and never see one another again, Parker and Hulme killed Honorah, believing that her death would put an end to any plans to relocate.The story of Honorah's murder and the trial that followed quickly spread across New Zealand and Australia and eventually made its way around the globe. Among other things, the case challenged existing beliefs about young women and their capacity for violence, but just as important were the sensational and salacious mentions of insanity and homosexuality that were often more implied than explicitly stated.Thank you to David White, of the Bring Me the Axe Podcast, for research :)ReferencesBrisbane Telegraph. 1954.

Miután a kis költségvetésű, tabukat nem ismerő horrorjaival hírnevet szerzett magának, de még azelőtt, hogy A Gyűrűk Ura-trilógiával lenyűgözte volna a világot, Peter Jackson készített egy filmet a szülőhazája, Új-Zéland egyik legnagyobb port kavart bűnesetéről. A Heavenly Creatures (Mennyei teremtmények) egy 1950-es évekbeli ügyet dolgoz fel, amelynek a főszereplője két tinédzser lány: a filmben őket a világhír előtti Kate Winslet és Melanie Lynskey játsszák.  Beszélünk Peter Jackson és a két fiatal főszereplő karrierjéről egyaránt, amelyet jelentős részben ennek a filmnek a nemzetközi sikere indított be. Milyen színészi kvalitásait látjuk Melanie Lynskey-nek visszaköszönni a későbbi szerepeiben (Last of Us, Yellowjackets, Egy különc srác feljegyzései, Egek ura), és mi tette sztárrá már akkor Kate Winsletet, aki később olyan filmekkel nyűgözött le bennünket, mint a Titanic vagy az Egy makulátlan elme örök ragyogása? Mik Peter Jackson becsípődései, milyen közös pontokat lehet felfedezni a Mennyei teremtmények és A Gyűrűk Ura látványvilága között? Hogyan integrálja Jackson és Fran Walsh forgatókönyve a főszereplő való életbeli naplóbejegyzéseit a narratívába? Mik azok a társadalmi nyomások és kihívások, amelyek a film a tragédia kiváltó okaként megjelöl? Hogyan merít el bennünket a kamaszok belső világában a film nyelvével Peter Jackson?

On this week's episode M&B represent besties everywhere with the murder of Honorah Rieper at the hands of her daughter Pauline, and Pauline's BFF Juliet. Then a review of Peter Jackson's Heavenly Creatures. Plus, lipstick reviews, horror movie trivia, and best friend tattoo brainstorming.  

“Lisa the Drama Queen” (January 25, 2009) So here's an interesting one. In its twentieth season, The Simpson did an episode inspired by Heavenly Creatures, the 1994 Peter Jackson movie that has Kate Winslet and Melanie Lynskey playing schoolgirls who flee into a fantasy world and also each other. More than a decade later, this story would play out again, only with Lisa Simpson and a new character voiced by Emily Blunt, and that might seem like a strange combo, especially because the Simpson version nixes the sex and violence of the original, but it nonetheless works. Special thanks to the writer of this episode, Brian Kelley, for sharing his memories of how this episode came to be. For a limited time, you can still screen Heavenly Creatures via the GEE Patreon, but that window is closing. Info here.

“Sorority House” (February 8, 1961) A few times on this podcast, we've bent over backwards to find a gay interpretation of a sitcom that never did anything gay, but this is not one of those. Mister Ed was developed by Arthur Lubin, a closeted gay director who was married to a woman but eventually ended up cohabitating with a male companion. It's interesting, then, that he'd be into making a TV show out of a story about Wilbur Post, who's married to a woman and who's outwardly a traditional guy even if his most significant relationship is with a male — a horse, but a male nonetheless — that he has to keep secret. Primitive though it might be, Mister Ed is actually the blueprint for more traditional magic sitcoms like Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie. You can watch this episode of Mister Ed for free on archive.org. Want to hear your words on an upcoming GEE?

“Fathers and Sons” (May 3, 2003) And we're back! Our first regular episode of the new year returns to the first-ever show we discussed: Frasier. It's the episode where David Ogden Stiers plays an old colleague of Frasier's late mother who acts more like Frasier and Niles than Martin does. This is the final time the series put a spotlight on the series innate queerness, and in selecting Stiers, it also tacitly endorses the notion that his M*A*S*H character helped inspire Frasier Crane.

We look back to January 2023 and this episode with Joel Gunderson: Joel Gunderson comes by RATF to talk about his second venture with Chef Aaron Barnett, Heavenly Creatures. Joel talks how the pandemic has reshaped hospitality, and also resets  Portland back to something that resembles the spirit of 2010, when he and Barnett opened Restaurant St. Jack. Joel reminisces about meeting Aaron while partying and how Aaron encouraged him to familiarize himself with wine so they could open a restaurant together in Portland. Joel has since uncorked wine programs at 11 restaurants in Portland, shaping a storied career that's got many tasty years ahead of him.  Right at the Fork is supported by: Zupan's Markets: www.Zupans.com RingSide Steakhouse: www.RingSideSteakhouse.com Portland Food Adventures: www.PortlandFoodAdventures.com

Canada born, LA-bred chef Aaron Barnett was on the path to becoming a veterinarian when he decided to bail and pursue his passion. From an early age, Aaron Barnett's parents instilled in him a love of food. He was eating snails and dining on his mom's home-made ceviche when other kids were munching PB & J. He attended culinary school in California before working in Vancouver, BC, and back in San Francisco. He moved to Portland and served as Executive Chef at two culinary icons. Portland proved to be exactly the market Aaron was looking for and gave him the confidence to open his dream restaurant, St. Jack. While Aaron had experience in different styles and cuisines, he became known as one of the best French chefs in the West. As a result, the Lyonnaise eatery garnered Eater Restaurant of the Year and Aaron became a StarChef Rising Star. Aaron opened another restaurant, La Moule, before consulting with other restaurants like Scotch Lodge, both of which opened to significant fanfare.  In 2022, Aaron opened a fun spot, Heavenly Creatures, with his long-time friend and colleague, Joel Gunderson.  Both decided they could help other businesses to benefit from their experience, and so recently they launched their own consulting firm, Giant Squid. Aaron is hands-on at his restaurants, but works to balance the rigors of chef life with his love of travel and cuisine.  Most keenly, his priority is his beautiful family of four.

The son of an actor, Australian screenwriter Abe Forsythe grew up around creatives. “I spent a lot of time backstage as a kid,” he says. “Sitting in the green room, watching Dad perform. Subconsciously, it made me realize you can have a career following your creative path.” Outside of his immediate influences, Forsythe was influenced by the early work of Peter Jackson, specially a horror film called Bad Taste. “I became obsessed with it. There was something about the fact that he made that movie on his own, shot in New Zealand over four years, playing two roles himself, doing the effects himself.” This self-reliant approach, along with watching other Jackson films like Braindead with an audience, sparked something inside of Forsythe. “Seeing his progression from Bad Taste to Meet the Feebles to Brainddead to Heavenly Creatures, I thought, ‘This guy can do anything.'” “I feel like I'm still chasing how those movies and those experiences made me feel.” In his own work, Forsythe has gained some notoriety for films like Down Under, Little Monsters, and the recent series, Wolf Like Me. “I'm trying to connect to that inner child,” says the screenwriter. Blending the personal within the lanes of genre, the show is about an emotional wreck named Gary who struggles to provide for his wife after the death of his wife. This is when he meets Mary, a woman with a secret she can't bring herself to tell another being. Want more? Steal my first book, Ink by the Barrel - Secrets From Prolific Writers right now for free.

We dug deep into the BGFC Archives and unearthed something we've been teasing since our very first official release: our pilot episode, recorded in the ancient time of AD 2017. Braindead/Dead Alive (1992) is Peter Jackson's 3rd directorial feature and stars Timothy Balme and Diana Peñalver as two lovers determined to stay alive after the undead take over their New Zealand neighborhood. Out of all the movies we've watched together, this movie is probably the slimiest and, 6 years ago, we wondered if Peter would ever get back to this kind of filmmaking (seems unlikely)? We also wondered who would get the ax in the then-burgeoning Me Too Movement, and would there continue to be more additions to the Lord of the Rings franchise (unfortunately, there is no end in sight)? Since this is our pilot episode, you get to hear all the mistakes and giggles of two girls just finding their podcast wings. Thank you to everyone who has supported us and listened to us grow over these last few years

In 1994, the movie "Heavenly Creatures" was released. It was based on the true story of Pauline Parker and Juliet Hulme. Pauline and Juliet were teenage girls who seemed to be complete opposites to everyone else on the outside of their oddly close friendship and fantasy world, but to each other, they were soulmates. They were so close, that when they didn't get what they wanted, they were driven to murder.SOURCES:1)The Parker-Hulme Murder Case That Inspired ‘Heavenly Creatures' (allthatsinteresting.com)2)The Parker-Hulme murder: Why it still matters to us - NZ Herald3)The Murder of the Century | HuffPost Entertainment4)adamabrams.com/hc/faq2/library/7.9.5.1.html5)Parker and Hulme murder revelations | The Australian Women's Weekly (nowtolove.co.nz)6)Book – The Mammoth Book of Women Who Kill by Richard Glyn JonesThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4736141/advertisement

What WE do in the shadows? We TALK to amazing people like Harvey Guillén, who joins Matt & Bowen on this terrific episode of Las Cultch to get into it on poppers culture, celebs being "on the A-list", the Met Gala and how Harvey celebrated but also lightly stuck it to Mr. Lagerfeld, Drag Race guest judging, Sasha Colby, shooting and auditioning for What We Do In The Shadows, Toronto cultures, rude men in fedoras, and navigating homophobia. Also, how Titanic and Kate Winslet gave way to Harvey's culture that made him say culture was for him: Peter Jackson, and the film Heavenly Creatures starring Kate and finalist Melanie Lynskey. All this, the origin of the middle finger, auditioning with Jerri Blank monologues, doing Wicked in Osaka, Japan, Hilary Duff's music, when you can really call yourself a New Yorker and the idea of wanting to smell like Johnny Depp.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Juliet and Amanda return to discuss a plethora of celebrity news and gossip, getting into it first with Melanie Lynskey's interview on her and Kate Winslet's heartbreaking friendship breakup after filming ‘Heavenly Creatures' in 1994. Next they discuss what is rumored to be Taylor Swift moving on quickly from Joe Alwyn and on to F1 racer Fernando Alonso (but nothing is confirmed). The ladies also discuss Sofia Richie's wedding, as well as the Arnault family in its French ‘Succession' era, and more!

For decades, Anne Perry, who died April 10, kept secret the fact that she was one of the teenage girls involved in the murder depicted in the 1994 film Heavenly Creatures. Originally broadcast in 1994. One of the first openly gay editors working at a major publishing house, Michael Denneny launched the Stonewall Inn Editions imprint. He died April 12. Originally broadcast in 1987 and 1994. Plus, Kevin Whitehead reviews Walter Smith III's album return to casual. And Justin Chang reviews the film, Beau is Afraid.

Melanie Lynskey is known as “the nicest person in Hollywood.” But today, she's taking the gloves off. The star of the Showtime smash “Yellowjackets”, Melanie channels her dark side by playing complicated, uncompromising characters. In this episode, she reveals to Katie the decades of pain she experienced as she failed to attain Hollywood's standards of beauty. It wasn't until she decided not to play that game that she actually got what she wanted: success on her terms. And she's not sorry for it.  This episode contains references to disordered eating that may be triggering to people with or in recovery from eating disorders.   Want to be a know-it-all?
