Note This episode appeared previously on this podcast a few years ago.

The Vern is joined by guest critic, Ryan L Terry to discuss two cult classics, Valley of the Dolls and Beyond the Valley of the Dolls. Both movies involve women who get so caught up in achiving fame that they become obsessed wth drugs sex and rock n roll. Mostly the drugs and some sex for Valley and a lot more of everyhting including rock for Beyond.

While both may seem similar they are both extremely different from each other. Listen to our conversation on both movies. It is my happening and it freaks me out. Enjoy.
