Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette - Episodes 1 thru 4 Recap

from Previously On with Jillian Bonanne · host Jillian Bonanne | Previously On Teen TV

In this episode of Previously On, Jillian's joined by her husband Tyler to break down the first four episodes of Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette, the FX and Hulu series chronicling the iconic, chaotic romance between John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy. This covers "Pilot," "The Pools Party," "America's Widow," and "I Love You."Jillian (resident Kennedy historian since her middle school Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis project) forces Tyler to enter the world of Camelot, Calvin Klein minimalism, and peak 90s New York. From JFK Jr.’s enviable Manhattan schedule (gym, Central Park football, black-tie events) to Carolyn’s ultimate cool-girl mystique, we dive into why this is a full-on vibes show and why we’re obsessed.We get into:- The dreamy 90s NYC aesthetic- The fashion and music moments (hello, Calvin Klein and “Linger”)- Why telling someone it’s a “party” when it’s actually your sister’s birthday dinner is diabolical- The Darryl Hannah takedown we weren't ready for- Why we don’t care about the exact facts because "it's a love story, baby just say yes"Plus, Tyler’s takes and what’s coming next in the next couple episodes (Central Park fight? Proposal? Hyannis? Paparazzi chaos?) 00:00:00 Intro to pod00:01:05 Obsessed with Love Story00:09:52 Episodes 1 thru 400:13:52 Top 5 Things Jill Loves in Love Story00:14:17 90s New York00:20:47 Fashion and music00:25:57 Vibes over plot00:33:36 Daryl Hannah00:36:47 Carolyn Bessette point of view00:44:35 To Hell with Facts, It's a Love Story00:49:11 Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis00:52:39 Tyler's Takes00:53:15 Cigarettes00:53:40 The cool girl00:54:12 If they had smart phones00:55:52 We all have become paparazzi00:56:49 George magazine00:59:17 JFK Jr. job today01:01:14 Staying home is too convenient now01:01:42 Mark Wahlberg01:02:14 Prince Charming fantasy01:02:42 Dating others?Thank you to Matt Buechele (@mattbooshell) for creating our new theme song.
