Today I have 2 amazing guest Alexis Bloom & Svetlana Zill, directors of the documentary Catching Fire the Story of Anita Pallenberg. I saw this documentary last week and I can't recommend it enough. Anita was a fantastic Actress, Model and a massive Muse to members of the Rolling Stones. Anita dated Brian Jones before finiding here way into Keith Richards life which quickly escalated in to a full on rock n roll outlaw adventure. This women's story is absolutely incredible and very dark and the Doc pulls No Punches. The Words come from an unpublished memoir Pallenberg wrote before her death in 2017, narration voiced by Scarlett Johansson.  Sit back and enjoy this episode and don't forget to catch the film in Theaters next week and streaming platforms around May 10th.
