The Media that Made Us

The Media that Made Us | Murder She G.O.A.T. Season 1 Episode 12 Today's episode is inspired by "Birds of a Feather" (season 1 episode 4 of Murder, She Wrote).   In the season finale of Murder She G.O.A.T., Willie and Emma explore coveting the lifestyles seen in short-form content and The French Chef, one of Willie's best drag experiences, the under-appreciated wisdom of the movie White Chicks, and the power media has to make it "okay" for society to treat certain groups of people unkindly.    This first season has been a journey of emotional revelation, all thanks to our muse and role model Jessica Fletcher. Thank you for joining us on this season of The Media that Made Us.   #murdershewrote #murdershegoat #themediathatmadeus #tmtmu #jessicafletcher #jbfletcher #angelalansbury #cabotcove #cozy #cozyvibes #cozymurdermystery #1980s #classictv #juliachild #thefrenchchef #drag #dragqueens #dragkings #whitechicks #mrsdoubtfire #tootsie
