The Gen X Couple

Bonnie & Clyde: Ride or Die… Literally


Listen Later

With Valentine’s Day around the corner, we are taking a look at one of history’s most infamous couples, Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, and asking the question no one ever seems to ask.

Were they actually a power couple, or just a cautionary tale wrapped in romance?

In this episode, Robin and Chris dive deep into the real story behind the myth, unpacking how a toxic, dangerous relationship became one of the most romanticized love stories in American history. From the desperation of the Great Depression to the media frenzy that turned criminals into celebrities, this is a lighthearted but thoughtful look at why we keep confusing intensity with love.

Spoiler alert: this is not the Valentine’s inspiration you think it is.
