Podcasts about Mommie Dearest

It's Mother's Month on Terror Talk! In this Shrink Chat episode, we dive headfirst into the creepy, complex, and unhinged world of terrifying mothers in horror and thriller films. From the grotesque mother-son nightmare of Dead Alive to the manipulative matriarch in The Manchurian Candidate, we explore how these mother figures get under our skin—and sometimes into our nightmares.Featured Films:Dead AliveThe Manchurian CandidateInsideThe GriftersGoodnight MommyThe FighterPlus: Mommie Dearest Trivia – “No wire hangers, ever!”

In this episode of Terror Talk Podcast, we dive into the layered portrayals of narcissistic mothers in three iconic films: White Oleander, Terms of Endearment, and Mommie Dearest. From emotional manipulation and guilt-tripping to martyr complexes and full-blown control tactics, we explore the psychology of maternal narcissism through each character's unique behavior.Using clinical insights, we break down the narcissism spectrum, compare how these cinematic mothers weaponize their relationships, and reflect on the lasting impact of toxic maternal figures—both on screen and in real life.We also examine how these films reflect societal expectations of women, motherhood, and the fine line between “difficult” and “damaging.” If you've ever flinched at a wire hanger or side-eyed a well-timed guilt trip, this episode's for you.narcissistic mothers in film, psychological analysis of toxic mothers, White Oleander mother psychology, Mommie Dearest narcissism, Terms of Endearment analysis, narcissistic personality disorder in movies, toxic mother characters#TerrorTalkPodcast #DarkPsychology #WomenInFilm #FilmPsychology #CinematicMothers#NarcissisticMothers #WhiteOleanderAnalysis #TermsOfEndearment #MommieDearest #ToxicMoms #MoviePsychology #NarcissisticAbuseAwareness #MotherDaughterDynamics #PersonalityDisorderPortrayalsInstagram: @terrortalkpodcastYouTube: TerrorTalk PodcastFacebook: Halloween All Year LongTikTok: @dark.psychology.girls

Joan Crawford (Faye Dunaway) was a Movie Star, gracing the silver screen for decades but by her 30's her luster began to fade. In order to fill a void and maybe drum up a little publicity, she tries to adopt. When her application is rejected, she turns to lawyer and lover, Greg Savitt (Steve Forrest) who manages to get her a perfect daughter. Throughout her life, Christina (Mara Hobel/Diana Scarwid) is afforded the very best in life but under the facade of perfection, a monster lurks. Based on the best selling tell-all by Christina Crawford and wildly exaggerated for the screen by Faye Dunaway, it's Mommie Dearest - this week on Doom Generation.

Hey Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of She's A Small Wonder: A Small Wonder Podcast. Today, I covered S4E9: My Favorite Martian, which aired on November 19, 1988. In this episode Brandon sees Vicki's hologram of an alien spaceship. Just Brandon being a massive dum dum per usual. The family decides to have fun with him by using Vicki to pretend she's an alien, after Brandon alerts (what I refer to thanks to the show ALF) as the ATF (Alien Task Force) to investigate this strange phenomenon. Vicki the alien tells Brandon that if he says he never saw any spaceship than her kind will make him King of their planet, he of course buys this charade and pretends he didn't see anything. Weird episode, but a bit better than the other 3. S4E10: Mommie Dearest, which aired on November 26,1988. In this episode, Joan's father comes for a visit, and Ida Mae decides he's going to be her next husband, since he's a doctor and she's a money hungry be-otch. I could not stand this episode or Ida Mae, this character does not need to exist on this show at ALL! S4E11: No Laughing Matter, which aired on December 4, 1988. In this episode Vicki leaks nitrous oxide ( we don't see this until the last 10 minutes of the episode, Jamie teaches for a week ( we don't get to see any of him teaching just the after effects of the kids failing the test (what a cop-out, I know we weren't going to get Cory/'Mr. Feeny level Teacher of the Week episode), but honestly it would have been nice to actually see him teach. S4E12: Tag, You're It, which aired on December 11, 1988. Ok, so this episode must have been filmed earlier because Jamie's already been in school for a while and now it's talking about the first day of 8th grade and also Harriet is now going to his school because she skipped a grade and is now in 6th grade (I call bullsh*t on this). Jamie's trying to get this valley girl speaking airhead of a girl to ask him to the dance ( I swear most of the girl's he's been into this season all have that (like whatever valley girl tone to their dialogue) it's grating on my nerves. It's basically a Sadie Hawkins dance where the girls ask the boys or (according to Full House a Backwards Dance)> Harriet makes it her mission to get Jamie to take her she just has to tag him (you know, like the game). Vicki is made the Hall Monitor giving out demerits to the students thanks to the new Vice Principal played by Marcia Wallace known for her role of Ms. Krabappel on The Simpsons. As far as these episodes go, they were all that good, not too surprising, since it's the last Season of the show. Have a good April and I'll see you towards the end of the month for the next 4 episodes in Season 4.

In 1978, Christina Crawford published Mommie Dearest, a groundbreaking memoir that exposed the dark side of her life with legendary actress Joan Crawford. The book became an instant bestseller, sparking controversy, debate, and even a cult-classic film adaptation. Back in 1998, I had the privilege of sitting down with Christina Crawford to discuss the impact of her book two decades later. Stay tuned as we revisit that conversation—a candid, revealing look at one of Hollywood's most infamous stories.

This week Bryan and Dave celebrate one year of 99 Cent Rental with the mother of all cult movies. Get it? It's a drag queen's dream come true. In 1977, reeling from being written out of her mother's will for reasons well-known to her, Christina Crawford, daughter of Hollywood legend, Joan Crawford published a vicious hit piece of a memoir about the alleged abuse she suffered at the hands of her mother and Hollywood couldn't wait to snatch up the option and transform it in a motion picture. Paramount came calling and took a book full of dubious claims and turned it into a movie full of even more dubious claims and a tone that shifts wildly from massively understated to flying dangerously off the handle. If a crazy story wasn't enough, the troubled production, made even more difficult by Faye Dunaway's horrible diva behavior on set and the meddling of celebrity husbands pushed the studio and producer Frank Yablans to the brink.

In this episode, I spoke with author Samuel Garza Bernstein about his book "Starring Joan Crawford". Joan Crawford: the name has an enduring fascination. Forty-five years after her death, Crawford remains a familiar icon in pop culture and the entertainment world. Certainly, the camp bathos of Mommie Dearest have played a part in her continued relevance. But it is ultimately her work and career themselves that account for her remarkable longevity in the culture

Joe is excited to share his love of the camp classic movie Mommie Dearest. Should he be scared of Suz's reaction?

Happy Spooky Wednesday, everyone! We have an iconic episode this week, because we're covering two absolute icons. First up, Kala talks about Joan Crawford, who may have been haunted and/or haunted others. There is no denying her impact in Hollywood, but has she remained past her death? When her estranged daughter's classic movie “Mommie Dearest” was filmed, the set was plagued with strange activity, especially around the actress who was set to play Crawford in the film. But it turns out the paranormal activity may have existed before Crawford passed. And Brittany talks about the only sea monster to rival Nessie: Champ of Lake Champlain. This creature is known around the world. And while many places write off these beings as explorers mistaking fish for something more sinister, the evidence for Champ is more compelling than most! Evidence so bananas that you may be able to see it on Netflix before you know it! We end the episode with two intriguing listener stories! Make sure to join us next week for the start of our fourth annual Urban Legends October!

The meanest mother of them all! This week, Peaches and Michael are fetching the axe in celebration of 1981's MOMMIE DEAREST! In addition to discussing this audacious portrait of Hollywood's juggling of camp and severity, our hosts delve into the double standard women are held to when delivering larger than life performances. Joining the conversation is The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures' Director of Film Programs K.J. Relth-Miller, whose love of filmmaker Frank Perry helps provide insight on this cult classic's reverential glamour. Then, A. Ashley Hoff, author of With Love, Mommie Dearest: The Making of an Unintentional Camp Classic, stops by to dig into how his deep love for this controversial motion picture led to him quite literally writing the book on the subject. From wire hangers to ice bowl facials, this episode has it all! Go! 

My guest this week is A. Ashley Hoff, author of the new book With Love, Mommie Dearest: The Making of an Unintentional Camp Classic. In it, Hoff chronicles the making and cultural impact of a particularly iconic film, and seeks to understand how such a weird piece of culture got made … and why it's become so important to so many people.We'll have that conversation in a moment.

Joan Crawford (c.1908 - 1977) was an American actress known for Hollywood classics like Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? and Mildred Pierce. Her feud with Bette Davis is one of the most well-known and remembered from Old Hollywood. After Joan passed, her daughter released a memoir, Mommie Dearest, depicting her experience of abuse from her mother. For Further Research: A Timeline of the Real Feud Between Bette Davis and Joan Crawford Daughter Dearest Not the Girl Next Door Mommie Dearest at 40: the derided camp classic that deserves a closer look This month we're talking about adversaries. These women fought against systems, governments and – sometimes each other to break barriers in their respective fields. They did unthinkable and sometimes unspeakable things to carve out their place in history. History classes can get a bad rap, and sometimes for good reason. When we were students, we couldn't help wondering... where were all the ladies at? Why were so many incredible stories missing from the typical curriculum? Enter, Womanica. On this Wonder Media Network podcast we explore the lives of inspiring women in history you may not know about, but definitely should. Every weekday, listeners explore the trials, tragedies, and triumphs of groundbreaking women throughout history who have dramatically shaped the world around us. In each 5 minute episode, we'll dive into the story behind one woman listeners may or may not know–but definitely should. These diverse women from across space and time are grouped into easily accessible and engaging monthly themes like Educators, Villains, Indigenous Storytellers, Activists, and many more. Womanica is hosted by WMN co-founder and award-winning journalist Jenny Kaplan. The bite-sized episodes pack painstakingly researched content into fun, entertaining, and addictive daily adventures. Womanica was created by Liz Kaplan and Jenny Kaplan, executive produced by Jenny Kaplan, and produced by Grace Lynch, Maddy Foley, Brittany Martinez, Edie Allard, Lindsey Kratochwill, Adesuwa Agbonile, Carmen Borca-Carrillo, Taylor Williamson, Sara Schleede, Paloma Moreno Jimenez, Luci Jones, Abbey Delk, Hannah Bottum, Lauren Willams, and Adrien Behn.

Dennis is joined in person by author A. Ashley Hoff to discuss his new book With Love, Mommie Dearest, his follow-up to Match Game 101, which he discussed on the podcast a few years back. Ashley talks about why he wanted to write this book, what surprised him while he was conducting interviews and doing research and why be believes that Faye Dunaway, who plays screen legend Joan Crawford in the film, is a "sorceress commanding the elements." He also recalls talking with Christina Crawford, who wrote the tell-all the movie is based on, at a screening of the film in Chicago years ago and learned that while she doesn't particularly like the film, she's proud that it shined a spotlight on the then-taboo topic of child abuse. Ashley also talks about watching the new documentary Faye on Max and finding that it pretty much tracks with the research he conducted for the book, even though he was never able to interview Dunaway herself. At one point, Dennis and Ashley are joined by author and superfan Abdi Nazemian who has been obsessed with the movie since he was 10 years old and has a juicy Faye story of his own to share. Other topics include: Joan Crawford's up-from-nothing resilience and determination, why the bullying aspect of the film might resonate with queer people, that time Dennis interviewed Faye Dunaway for Us Magazine and was kept waiting for four hours, the fact that Mommie Dearest was a financial success, how no one in Hollywood sets out to make a flop and what it is exactly that makes something campy.

We're talking all things Faye Dunaway.  The ‘Faye' documentary just came out on HBO MAX and boy is it a crazy one. We get into her iconic performances in ‘Chinatown', ‘Network', ‘Bonnie and Clyde' and the context around them.  And also her widely perceived misfire of ‘Mommie Dearest'.   Was it her performance, or the script, or what?  We get into it.   Why are there so many Faye Dunaway memes, and is this deserved?  Is she severe and cruel, or just one of the best actresses of all time? Ryan provides context around how she was perceived before and after ‘Mommie Dearest', and what made her as iconic as she was.   ALSO.  What is talent?  Does it grow like a pearl or is it porous? Enjoy.

Forces of nature are overwhelming us on this week's Breakfast All Day podcast. We have reviews of two big, dopey tornado movies: "Twisters," starring Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones as scientists scurrying across the Oklahoma plains in search of the big one, and the original "Twister" from 1996, starring Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton doing the exact same thing. "Twisters" is in theaters now, and "Twister" is available on various places for streaming including Max. Plus we review the documentary "Faye," which examines the life and career of legendary actress Faye Dunaway, star of such films as "Bonnie and Clyde," "Chinatown," "Network" and "Mommie Dearest." Dunaway herself is surprisingly candid here about her mistakes and reputation. It's also streaming on Max. And for our Patreon subscribers, we have recaps of "The Acolyte" finale and "The Bear" season 3, episodes 7 and 8.

THIS WEEK: Straight-Jacket (1964), Berserk (1967), Trog (1970)After a career resurgence with the hagsploitation classic, Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?, Joan Crawford spent the final decade of her career in kitschy William Castle films, a Circus whodunit, and a murderous monkey man pseudo-horror flick. Sure, it ain't Mildred Pierce, but how do Mommie Dearest's final films stack up to the exploitation fair of the era? And, more importantly, can the first "Queen of the Movies" from Hollywood's golden era elevate ho-hum schlock into something special?Donate to Palestinian Medical Aid Support Optimism Vaccine on Patreon

Guests Cathy Richardson Jen Kober Michelle Williams A. Ashley Hoff - With Love, Mommie Dearest - author

Box office poison! Critics hated the film Mommie Dearest, the film adaptation of Christina Crawford's tell all book chronicling the physical and mental abuse she suffered as the adopted daughter of Hollywood Golden Age legend Joan Crawford.But thanks to the success of Rocky Horror Picture Show and the films of John Waters, the film studios quickly pivoted the marketing of the melodramatic movie into a dark comedy, showcasing it as a midnight feature film inviting drag queens to dress up and re-enact fights between momma Joan and her adopted daughter Christina.Today we're chatting with pop culture writer A. Ashley Hoff on the camp classic film Mommie Dearest and how the runaway success of the film forever changed how the public thinks about Joan Crawford and the film's star Faye Dunaway. In his new book With Love, Mommie Dearest: The Making of an Unintentional Camp Classic, A. Ashley Hoff explores how Christina's memoir got turned into this outlandish film. Hoff also explores all the myths surrounding Christina and Joan Crawford's actual lives.  • Did Joan Crawford really beat up Christina with wire hangers?• Was Joan Crawford bisexual? • Did Joan kill her 4th husband Al Steele? 

In this episode, I spoke with author A. Ashley Hoff about his book "With Love, Mommie Dearest: The Making of An Unintentional Camp Classic." When she died in 1977, Joan Crawford was remembered as an icon of Hollywood's Golden Age—until publication the following year of her daughter's memoir, Mommie Dearest.Christina Crawford's book was an immediate bestseller, combining the infrequently discussed topic of child abuse with the draw of Hollywood drama.

Here, we're dedicated to eschewing that silly Hallmark holiday and respecting mothers a week later when no one is expecting it. We're absolutely not late on this one I promise. So why not celebrate moms the best way we know how: With three of the finest and most upstanding mothers in cinematic history. No Wire hangers this week. Just a juicy slab of hicksploitation, a notorious flop, and some arthouse slop.Donate to Palestinian Medical Aid Support Optimism Vaccine on Patreon

Dennis is joined via Zoom by author Abdi Nazemian (Only This Beautiful Moment) to discuss his previous book Like A Love Story, which is about three high schoolers in the late 1980's who are obsessed with Madonna. Dennis first met Abdi at a queer writers mixer and commented on Abdi's Madonna T-shirt. They discovered they were both big fans of Madge so it made sense to talk for the podcast after they had both seen Madonna's current Celebration Tour. Abdi and Dennis compare notes about the tour and share the moments they found most inspiring and moving. Abdi also talks about how his Madonna obsession inspired the plot of Life a Love Story and how the book ended up being a breakthrough success for him after publishing several other books. Other topics include: Abdi's obsession with old Hollywood, how he got his entire boarding school into Mommie Dearest, what the label "Young Adult Novel" actually means, the time he almost met Madonna as a kid in France, where he was when he heard she'd been hospitalized and the question he'd really like to ask Madonna about the spoken-word section of "Vogue."

Sean finally won a movie draft, even if he was decidedly unclear on what the movie he selected was! MOMMIE DEAREST is a biopic turned into a horror movie, as Joan Crawford gets obliterated by the industry she helped build. It's sort of weird that this movie exists! Plus, Robin grapples with her growing love of DUNE, Sean has some qualified praise for IMAGINARY and Kahmeela at least sort of watched MARCEL THE SHELL.

“I'D RATHER YOU GO BALD TO SCHOOL THAN LOOKING LIKE A TRAMP!” Mr. Tony the Tiger a.k.a. Daddie Dearest, it seems, was determined to ruin this week's episode of The Blind Rage Podcast. First, he smacked me upside the head with a hairbrush—TWICE. Then, he tried to force gallons of Pepsi down my throat. And as if all that wasn't bad enough, he received a delivery from Bear Daddy Bungalow in the middle of the commentary! As if you couldn't tell, we're focused on Frank Perry's MOMMIE DEAREST, considered by many critics to be one of the worst movies ever made, and by gay audiences to be one of the most compulsively watchable, not to mention endlessly quotable, gems of the previous century. Join us as we watch Faye Dunaway swallow the scenery whole, co-stars and all, in this enduring cult classic! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/blindragepod/message

We get a couple mommies this week but only one can be the dearest!Stefan and Damon try a new strategy in their plan to kill Julian, recruiting Lily. Seems like a bad plan at first, but turns out torture is effective. Meanwhile, Enzo tries his own plan to kill Julian, which is mostly just some juvenile silliness which also does not work. Finally, Caroline continues to be in denial that she has Ric's babies inside her (us too queen!) but turns out that Gemini love for invisique starts young!
