The Compendium Podcast: An Assembly of Fascinating and Intriguing Things
Marilyn Monroe is one of the most recognisable women who has ever lived, but the version the world fell in love with was, in many ways, built in a studio. Today, we trace how Marilyn Monroe emerged from Norma Jean's unstable and abusive childhood to become the Hollywood icon everyone thinks they know. We follow her early modelling career, her studio-made voice, and the blonde bombshell image she spent years trying to outrun. But there is a darker side to this story too: the marriages, the power struggles, and the myths that shaped her final years. Marilyn Monroe's story is what happens when public fantasy grows far bigger than the woman forced to carry it. Topics Include norma jean's childhood, foster homes, and abuse how marilyn monroe was made by hollywood the breathy voice, the bombshell image, and studio control joe dimaggio, arthur miller, and public fascination jfk, conspiracy theories, and the final unraveling Resources and Further Reading Marilyn Monroe - Encyclopaedia Britannica Marilyn Monroe - FBI Vault Marilyn's Method - The Criterion Collection Host & Show Info Hosts: Kyle Risi & Adam Cox Intro Music:Alice in dark Wonderland Community & Calls to Action Review & follow on: Spotify & Apple Podcasts Instagram: @theCompendiumPodcast Website: TheCompendiumPodcast.com Support us: Sign up to Patreon We're Hiring: Find the perfect job at the circus Share this episode with a friend!

This week, I talk with Priya Parmar about The Original, her fictionalized portrait of Katharine Hepburn's early life and Hollywood reinvention, diving into how academic rigor, obsessive research, and creative intuition shaped the book. We discuss: Priya's transition from academic and PhD research into fiction writing—and how scholarship still shapes her creative process The accidental Google rabbit hole that led her to Katharine Hepburn's hidden early struggles A fascinating look at 1930s Hollywood as a surprisingly progressive, image-conscious, and socially fluid ecosystem Fame, performed authenticity, grief, reinvention, and how public myths are intentionally built Behind-the-scenes insight into writing historical fiction about a real woman whose voice, image, and legacy are already iconic Check Out Author Social Media PackagesCheck out the Bookwild Community on PatreonCheck Out My Stories Are My Religion SubstackGet Bookwild MerchFollow @imbookwild on InstagramOther Co-hosts On Instagram:Gare Billings @gareindeedreadsSteph Lauer @books.in.badgerlandHalley Sutton @halleysutton25Brian Watson @readingwithbrianMacKenzie Green @missusa2mba
We've reached the final curtain call for our Cate Blanchett spotlight here on We Drink & We Watch Things, and we're closing out with the performance that officially turned her into an Oscar winner: Martin Scorsese's 2004 epic, The Aviator. It's the ultimate meta-cinematic challenge - one of the greatest modern actresses stepping into the sensible shoes of the greatest Golden Age actress, Katharine Hepburn. Mix yourself something classic and sophisticated - perhaps a Howard's Punch by Mackenzie - and let's head to the golf course.This week, we examine the sheer audacity of Cate's "impersonation-turned-performance," looking at how she mastered that iconic, rapid-fire New England lockjaw and the athletic, "don't-fence-me-in" energy that defined Hepburn. We break down her electric chemistry with Leonardo DiCaprio's Howard Hughes, specifically that brilliantly uncomfortable family dinner at the Hepburn estate where two different worlds of American aristocracy collide. We also discuss the film's stunning visual evolution, as Scorsese uses "two-strip" and "three-strip" Technicolor effects to mirror the era, and how Cate manages to shine through the stylized, vibrant hues as a woman who was "too much" for any one man to hold onto.If you love the glamour of Old Hollywood, the technical precision of a master at work, or just want to hear us debate if anyone else could have pulled off "Hot Dawg!" with such conviction, this is the perfect finale. We're blending our awe for her first Academy Award-winning turn with our usual casual banter, making this a truly legendary conclusion to our first Actress Month run.This episode VIDEO is live on YouTube AND Spotify!Follow us on Instagram to get ep sneak peaks and find out what's coming up.

In this episode of the Tales From Hollywoodland Podcast, we sit down with author Diane Kiesel to discuss her book When Charlie Met Joan, an in-depth exploration of the controversial and widely publicized relationship between Hollywood legend Charlie Chaplin and actress Joan Berry. Set during the Golden Age of Hollywood, this story dives into one of the most sensational scandals of its time. The relationship between Chaplin and Berry quickly became the subject of intense media scrutiny, legal battles, and public controversy, including a highly publicized paternity lawsuit that captivated the nation. The case raised questions about celebrity power, morality, and the role of the press in shaping public opinion during Hollywood's studio era. Through meticulous research, Diane Kiesel sheds light on the real story behind the headlines, separating fact from myth while exploring how the scandal impacted Chaplin's career and legacy. This episode examines the broader cultural context of the time, including Hollywood censorship, public image, and the pressures faced by stars in the spotlight. If you're interested in classic Hollywood scandals, Charlie Chaplin history, Old Hollywood controversies, celebrity trials, and film history, this episode offers a compelling and thought-provoking look at one of the most talked-about episodes in Hollywood history.

Send us Fan MailTGTPTU goes Old Hollywood this week with Ryan's pick for his Season 17's Hacks 4x4 director: Edward Dmytryk. As we learn this ep, the former Canadian, former movie editor, former son (California courts would emancipate him from an alcoholic father) Dmytryk would rise through the studio system starting off as a messenger in his teens to become a talkies director by age 31. At age 36, he'd dust off old studio rights to a previously adapted Raymond Chandler novel Farewell, My Lovely to make the first and earliest of the four films we'll be covering this season: MURDER, MY SWEET (1944). Normally, we'd summarize a bit of the film in this paragraph. A typical cakewalk for yours truly, the task is not so simple this week. Despite various changes in plot (yet in keeping to the spirit of the book), the film's casual, causal sequences of events and coincidences make little sense. In brief and in the famed detective's first time appearing as named in film, Philip Marlowe is hired to do one thing, then another; the second thing is related to the first in a reveal at the end of the movie's extended flashback. Notably, this structure of a bookend opening with the protagonist telling it as it was would become a staple in the noir genre. This week, Ken does extra research weighing in on Gay Lawrence adaptation; Jack reveals the perfect way to watch the movie while reading its Chandler source material; Thomas wonders if all Canadian directors know each other; and Ryan contributes remotely. Subsequently, tinny microphone subs in for fan fav squeaky chair who is on hiatus for this pincered pairing. WARNING: Episode contains hot takes on Reese's peanut butter cups. BEHIND THE PAYWALL: Unprofessional tax advice for the 2025 Tax Year followed by a breezy seventy-nine-minute primer explaining baseball followed by a lengthier discussion for our platinum tier members.

Built in 1923, the Hollywoodland sign rose as a beacon of star-studded dreams. But not everyone who chased those dreams survived them. After a would-be starlet died at the sign, whispers spread that her spirit still lingered there. Yet the darker truth may run deeper—as the land beneath Hollywood's most famous symbol could have been cursed long before she climbed the hill.

Rudolph Valentino has been an enduring symbol of early Hollywood glamour. He immediately comes to mind when someone speaks of "Old Hollywood."

There are many places that claim to harbor his spirit. Join us for the life and afterlife of Rudolph Valentino. This Month in History features Tiger King launches.

One of the questions Jen hears often from florists is:"How do you come up with creative ideas?"Whether you're designing a wedding, a styled shoot, or a workshop experience, creativity doesn't just magically appear.It's something you actively cultivate.In this episode, Jen shares the tools and strategies she uses to develop creative event concepts—from saving inspiration to using AI to build ideas.In This EpisodeStart With One Inspiring IdeaMany great event designs start with a single visual moment.For Jen's Installation Rockstar workshop, the entire concept began with a calla lily installation dripping from an angular structure.That single idea evolved into a full Old Hollywood glamour theme.Save Inspiration EverywhereJen saves inspiration constantly.Places to collect ideas:Instagram foldersPinterest boardsscreenshots on your phoneinspiration folders for specific eventsSaving inspiration allows you to revisit ideas when it's time to design.Combine Ideas Instead of CopyingThe goal isn't to copy someone else's design.Instead:Take two or three inspiration images and combine elements to create something new.Examples:table shape from one imageflorals from anothercandles or styling from a thirdThis creates a unique concept without copying.Use Pinterest to Expand IdeasOnce you have a theme or concept, search Pinterest for:color palette inspirationtable styling ideasfloral mechanicsevent styling detailsPinterest can help develop a concept from a simple idea into a complete design.Use AI as a Creative ToolAI can help generate ideas for:wedding conceptsMother's Day collectionsevent themesfloral color palettesIt's a tool to expand creativity—not replace it.Find Inspiration From Rentals and LinensDesign ideas often start with unexpected elements like:linen patternscharger platesribbon texturesrental piecesSometimes a single linen can inspire an entire wedding aesthetic.Ask Clients Better QuestionsWhen working with clients, always ask for their Pinterest board.Then ask questions like:Which image is your favorite?What do you love about this design?What feeling do you want the space to have?This helps you create a proposal that truly resonates with them.Key TakeawayCreativity isn't about waiting for inspiration.It's about collecting ideas, experimenting, and turning up the dial on what inspires you.The best designs often begin with one small spark.

On My Three Sons, Stanley Livingston grew up, with the boomer generation and with television itself. By the time we came to know Stan as Chip Douglas he had logged over ten credits, performing with Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, Doris Day, Ozzie & Harriet Nelson, Jimmy Stewart, John Wayne, Debbie Reynolds and Gregory Peck!Stan takes us back to his first gig, as a stunt double for Jon Provost on Lassie. Jon couldn't swim yet. Stan got stuck in a muddy pond and turned in a tremendously vivid performance as a kid attempting not to drown.His parents met in Baltimore, where his father ran a burlesque theater and his mom put some vahs in her dance voom. In search of reinvention, they moved to California where Stan and his brother Barry were born and raised. With an ample dose of show biz in his blood, Stan felt at home from the first moment he stepped onto a set.He shares the story of his big break at just six years old on The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet. Stan was working as a neighborhood kid extra when Ozzie threw him a line and he delivered. Stan appeared on ten episodes of the show, until he landed My Three Sons and his brother Barry took over. (Then following him to MTS!)At age 13, Stan was cast in the epic, star-studded adventure, How the West Was Won under the legendary (and notoriously hot-tempered) direction of Henry Hathaway. He recounts Hathaway's explosive on-set tirades (and how Debbie Reynolds was the only cast member bold enough to take him on and yell back!) The experience taught him an invaluable lesson: never take what happens on set personally.Stan speaks warmly of William Frawley, who played Bub on My Three Sons. Stan never knew his grandfathers and Bill did not have kids. They adopted each other and truly cherished their bond, on and off screen.And so, it was difficult for Stan to accept William Demarest who came in as Uncle Charley when William Frawley's faltering health made it impossible to get him insured. But Stan did eventually warm to the new Bill who came with his own set of charms.We hear behind-the-scenes stories from the MTS set, including a memorable location shoot aboard a jet at LAX, and how producers enticed movie star Fred MacMurray to television by structuring a schedule that allowed him to shoot all of his scenes for the season in just a few months.We enjoy a warm, insightful look at growing up in classic television and celebrate the mentors who helped shape one of America's most beloved sitcom families.

Let's start the new year off right, with a visit to Old Hollywood, and in the company of two very different movies... The first is a curious experience - a drama masquerading as a musical comedy, but featuring little of either, and an uneasy voyage into some questionable attitudes of the day... The second is a startling thriller featuring a taut plot, a high-level stakeout, and the debut of an actress who would go on to become something of a legend... (clue: she's still with us today) Radio entertainment this time is a double-billed featuring one of cinema's most iconic duos!

Jordan brings us the haunted history of Old Hollywood. Ghosts of nightclub musicians mingle with the top stars of the silver screen in this episode.
Step into one of the most fascinating reincarnation cases ever recorded: a four-year-old boy in Oklahoma who vividly remembers life as an Old Hollywood tap dancer turned talent agent. Dozens of his memories later proved uncannily accurate — Broadway and film performances, a Beverly Hills home, glamorous nights with Rita Hayworth — and together they raise striking questions about memory, identity, and the paranormal in a way that even skeptics struggle to dismiss. Plus, Sabrina shares her own unsettling experience after tempting the spirits of Greyfriars Kirkyard. Watch the video version here. Have ghost stories of your own? E-mail them to us at twogirlsoneghostpodcast@gmail.com New Episodes are released every Thursday and Sunday at 12am PST/3am EST (the witching hour, of course). Corinne and Sabrina hand select a couple of paranormal encounters from our inbox to read in each episode, from demons, to cryptids, to aliens, to creepy kids... the list goes on and on.

The deal is done. Netflix will purchase Warner Bros. Discovery for $82 billion. Yet another corporate monopoly drives a nail through Hollywood's coffin. It was bad enough when Disney bought Fox, Star Wars, and Marvel. Now, Netflix will be among the most powerful corporate monopolies, replacing what Hollywood used to be.America gave up on Hollywood because Hollywood gave up on America. The result is empty movie theaters all over the country—one bomb after another. Of course, Warner Bros. knew. You'd have to be an idiot not to know. Does anyone think Netflix is sweating the online memes accusing it of being too woke? No, they aren't. They are making too much money to care. With streaming, there is no free market pressure, no quality control. You don't have to motivate people to leave their homes. You don't need big stars to drive box office, and best of all, you can ignore the silent majority that has tuned you out long ago. Hate the trans agenda being shoved down everyone's throat? Too bad. Your boycotts are a drop in the bucket at Netflix. It's the perfect solution to Hollywood's problem. They can have everything they want — a virtue signaling paradise — and never have to worry about big budgets or low box office ever again. That's the easy way out. The truth is harder to swallow. They destroyed themselves. They wrecked their brand and alienated their audience. Hollywood built a ship of failure when it split into two divergent paths around 2003, after the Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings franchises brought in ungodly profits not just here but around the world. The branding was the key, the IPs. For years, they dominated the global box office and brought people to movie theaters across the country.Meanwhile, in the other Hollywood, in the “prestige” niche lane where the Oscars live, things began to get smaller, more isolated, more aligned with politics, especially under Barack Obama. His win influenced almost everything, as he loves to put out his top-ten lists every year and even has a deal with Netflix. These two Hollywoods existed side by side like the First Class section of the airplane vs. Coach, where they “let them eat Marvel.” You can see the rise and fall in one image, from Box Office Mojo:This year might mean that, for the first time since 2020, China will dominate the Worldwide box office rather than Hollywood, unless Jim Cameron can bring Avatar: Fire and Ash over the 2 billion mark.In 2019, Hollywood put out over 900 movies. Last year, just 624, and many of them bombed. So what happened? 2020 happened. The one-two punch of COVID and the Great Awokening brought Hollywood to its knees. The Oscar race this year is loaded with unwatchable movies that swirl around things almost no one outside the bubble of Hollywood cares about, identity mainly. Mothers' caterwauling their oppression, like Die, My Love, If I had Legs I'd Kick You, and even One Battle After Another feature women who seem to hate their children. The people who run Hollywood are still mostly rich white men, but they must always genuflect, with women or people of color as shields to protect them from accusations of sexism or racism by the mob online. The rise of female directors who get these jobs for no other reason except that they're female has transformed a once-great industry into a DEI film school. Every couple is interracial. Every movie must have significant actors of color. The GLAAD lobby demands representation everywhere. Why would anyone want to pay money to have them shove their ideology down our throats?Success doesn't even matter to them. That they project “goodness” is all they care about now, their status inside utopia. The EndAs I drive across this country, I sometimes see a multiplex in a mall. It looks as deserted to me as the old drive-ins once did, and I can't help but think this really is the end for movie theaters. They'll go the way of the record store, limited to enthusiasts in the big cities. Everyone else will numbly scroll through Netflix for whatever they can find, but it will never have the same cultural impact as a great movie when we're all under one roof, sharing a story.It's yet more separation, more isolation, more internet, more social media, less of what we all need as a society.“The Future is Coming, and You Aren't In It”After COVID ended for rational Americans, we all wondered whether people would return to the movies. The paranoid mask-wearing Liberals did not. Even Peggy Noonan noticed.In 2022, a miracle arrived in the form of Tom Cruise starring in Top Gun: Maverick. It made so much money that it wiped clean the argument that Hollywood was over and movie theaters were dying. Although it was nominated for Best Picture, it lost to the woke screed, Everything Everywhere All At Once. That was a sign that Hollywood was not ready for the iceberg right ahead.The following year showed promise, with “Barbenheimer,” “Oppenheimer,” and “Barbie” becoming cultural sensations on TikTok. The Oscars did the right thing and gave their awards to Oppenheimer. Though things seem to be moving in the right direction, it's too little, too late. Audiences don't trust Hollywood anymore, and I can't blame them. Of all the Warner Bros. movies that were successful this year, the Oscar will likely go to the anti-ICE, pro-ANTIFA, anti-Trump rallying cry, One Battle After Another. No film in recent memory has better captured the singular worldview of the progressive Left.As Curtis Yarvin wrote for The Spectator:Fundamentally, One Battle is a religious film. It is entirely set in the fantasy landscape of the great American religion, progressivism, the 20th-century evolution of our ancient Puritan tradition. If you are a true believer, imagine watching Battlefield Earth without being a Scientologist. For non-progressives, One Battle may be necessary viewing. It displays the interior landscape of the narcissistic narrative of our world's dominant cult of power. We seldom get to strap a GoPro to the inside of a lib's forehead. And he continues:So this film is out there – recruiting damaged people by presenting them as romantic heroes in a propaganda fantasy. Few will kill. But many will clap. When bad movies succeed, as One Battle will, they diagnose something bad in the audiences they entertain. Corrupt art is the pathognomonic mark of a corrupt society. Shitty people will watch this shitty film, and love it. Shitty journalists have already given it a standing ovation – the politics makes them hard, like Lockjaw. This evil is at the very heart of our culture.As Leonard Cohen noted: “I have seen the future, brother. It is murder.” Murder is as old as Cain. The anonymous internet is young. Nobody asked for the combination. But they'll get it.So, of course, the critics have gone nuts for it. It IS religious for them. It's already won many awards and is on track to win Best Picture. Trust me, Hollywood has no desire to save itself. One Battle After Another cost upwards of $140 million and only made $70 million in the US, with the bulk of its profits made overseas on Leonardo DiCaprio's name, which is why it's assumed he demanded his usual fee of $20 million. Old Hollywood understood that you don't reward failure with film awards. New Hollywood cares less about the money and more about the message. The public used to matter because the box office did. No wonder WB is selling out after watching one bomb after another this past year. Why wait for bankruptcy? Why not cash out now on a high note?This is the kind of thing Hollywood pumps out now:And therein lies the problem. They forgot it wasn't about them. They believed their own publicity. They fell in love with their own image, like Narcissus. They began to believe they were important. We loved movies and celebrities for what they gave us, not for who they are. We don't care. We don't need them to fix us. Or teach us. Or lecture us. Or scold us. We just need them to entertain us. Well, now the billionaires have arrived to prove to them how little they matter when it comes to the bottom line. And if you think that's bad, wait until the AI tsunami wipes out half the industry. The audience was always their best hope for survival. As long as we showed up, Hollywood and its stars had power. Now that audiences have vanished, well, the ship is made of iron, and it will sink.Who knows, maybe Congress or Trump can stop the merger. That still won't fix the fundamental problem of what Hollywood has become and why the public turned away. On the upside, the giant hole Hollywood leaves behind, like the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs, might open up movie theaters to a new breed of filmmaker. Maybe they can make movies Hollywood or Netflix never would - trashy comedies, cheap horror, romantic comedies, Dirty Harry movies. Who knows, maybe we can Make Hollywood Great Again.

The trio talk about James Brolin playing Gable, the struggle of portraying Lombard accurately (and why Jill Clayburgh isn't the problem).
