Episode description
Audrey and Louise go through the plot of the 1982 biopic Frances. Discussion topics include thoughts on the film's decision to prioritize Frances' mental health struggles over her acting career, some of the scenes and lines that stood out (for better or worse), if Jessica Lange should have won an Oscar for her performance, the sensationalized approach in regards to the institution scenes as well as the relationship between Frances and her mother, our confusion over Sam Shepard's made up character, comparisons between Frances and Britney Spears (and why talking about mental health in the limelight matters), and so much more.
