Today we are talking about the Book Tour Queen, Jacqueline Susann. Not only did she kill it on the bestsellers list with every book she ever published, she also wore matching outfits with her toy poodle, Josephine. Listen to here about a true #bossbabe who revolutionized the way books were marketed, hated all movie adaptations made of her work, and was the host of her own television show where she helped people find jobs, like any boss bitch would.

Today we are talking about the best movie to feature the Manson family and probably the best bromance ever on film, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Ignore all of Tarantino's foot fetish stuff and watch a much better ending to that August night in 1969. Also sorry this episode has an echo, we're trying some stuff.

We're talking about one of the best selling true crime books of all time with one of the most insane (& annoying) trials to ever happen. No doubt that Manson is an evil guy but his defense attorney is possibly equally as insane, who can possibly object to that much and still be a member of the bar??? Not the point of the book but I'm mad about it. Anyways, listen to find out what may be the true story of why one small man took the lives of 9 or more innocent people all in the name of The Beatles.
