17. Blonde: The Tragic Tale of Marilyn Monroe


Listen Later

Boy is this one a doozy. Elizabeth and Sabrina both work to process through their emotional hangovers following the 2022 Netflix Original Blonde. While the real life story doesn't quite align with this over dramatization of Marilyn Monroe's life, the real story of Marilyn Monroe isn't too much better. Join Elizabeth as she expands on the parts of Marilyn's story that were true to the movie and others that might not have been - and learn more than you would probably ever want to actually know about JFK along the way!

As always, thank you for the support!
