Bonnie & Maude

The exciting conclusion of our Marilyn Monroe discussion. We dig a little deeper into Don't Bother to Knock, find out what Tom means when he calls Marilyn "so beautiful she's practically deformed," offer opinions about actresses portraying Marilyn, and give a little time to My Week with Marilyn.

Tom Blunt, the creator and host of Meet the Lady variety show and upcoming Evening Dilemma podcast, joins us.

We couldn't help ourselves. Our Episode 4 discussion on Marilyn Monroe is a two-parter. Sure, we start out discussing The Seven Year Itch and Don't Bother to Knock, but a conversation about the icon can never be about the actress alone and quickly advances onto the meaning of celebrity, beauty, modern-day equivalents of Marilyn, and traditional vs. natural acting.

We tackle Hard Ticket To Hawaii, B-movie master Andy Sidaris' busty-babes-with-guns schlockfest...and, are surprised to uncover a story of female friendship and empowerment. Who would have guessed? If you need us, we'll be doing some soul-searching in the jacuzzi.

Do we like Nora Ephron movies because we're sincere, or do Ephron's movies make sincere people out of us? This question and a remembrance of her brilliance, on this installment of Bonnie & Maude, with Eleanor "Why Do Men?" Kagan and Kseniya "I Don't Want To Talk About Michael" Yarosh.

The hosts of Bonnie & Maude, Eleanor Kagan and Kseniya Yarosh, launch the new film podcast with a discussion of Tiny Furniture, the show Girls, the portrayal of ‘ugly’ characters by women on screen—and what keeps us watching.
