She was born Norma Jean Desmond, and that is who we’re going to tell you about in part 1 of her saga. Before we can really dive into Marilyn’s life, we felt it important to tell you about her mother Gladys, so in this episode, we do just that, the glitz and glamour of Marilyn all began in a cramped LA apar...

Who better to bring the feminine energy we needed for this show than the original “It Girl” herself: Clara Bow! One of the biggest stars of the silent era who paved the way for women in Hollywood. Clara owned her sexuality before the Code was put in place and rocked the world as the first sex symbol.

Avatar wasn't just a very expensive film that made a lot of money, it also revolutionized many of the technical aspects of filmmaking and pioneered the way we shoot CGI for films. There's also an incredibly large amount of things that James Cameron shot and never intended to actually use.

We’re ending off our Extended Spooky Season right with one of the most iconic horror films ever spawned! Against all odds and with very little studio support, in 1960 Alfred Hitchcock set off with a shoe string budget from his own pocket and crafted one of the finest films in Film History: the History of Film - “Psycho” starring Anthony Perkins and Janet Leigh working for much less than their normal fees. This film broke the mold and set the tone for not only countless horror films to come but j...
