An Angry Phone Call from Faye Dunaway (Ep 482 - Mommie Dearest/A. Ashley Hoff)

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.
