Review: Blonde (2022) Oct 06, 2022

Show notes

Macy Rodman, the hilarious hostess of Nymphowars, joins me for a good old fashioned roast. Just kidding! Kind of. We discuss Andrew Dominik's controversial new film about the life and times of Marilyn Monroe, Blonde. We cover the Joyce Carol Oates novel the film is based on, why we didn't like this movie as lovers of extreme cinema, and we make fun of Australians (sorry, Australian fans!)
