Gena, Jenn, and Joe return to celebrate Mother's Day with a look at director Frank Perry's Mommie Dearest (1981).
Starring a delightfully unhinged performance by Faye Dunaway, the adaptation of Christina Crawford's autobiography is dark (C/W: child abuse), but also...campy and hilarious?
Plus: a dissection of the film's most iconic scenes, the deleted bits, and whether this film would play well with "the youts" of today
