Sarah sits down with Hollywood historian A. Ashley Hoff to discuss his captivating book, With Love, Mommie Dearest: The Making of an Unintentional Camp Classic. Hoff explores the fascinating journey behind Christina Crawford's explosive memoir Mommie Dearest and the equally iconic film adaptation that became a cultural phenomenon. From the shockwaves the book sent through Hollywood with its portrayal of Joan Crawford’s alleged abuse to the unexpectedly humorous reception of the movie, Hoff provides a deep examination of this timeless story. Through fresh interviews with cast, crew, and industry insiders, Hoff unpacks the behind-the-scenes drama and long-lasting impact of this “so bad it’s good” cinematic classic. Tune in to hear how a story about serious social issues like child abuse became a camp favorite for generations, and what it reveals about Hollywood's complex legacy.
