HBO PROJECT: Grey Gardens (2009)

HoopleCast: An IntroCast For HBO's Deadwood

Jackie Kennedy's oddball relatives, Edith Ewing Bouvier ("Big Edie") and her staunch daughter Edith Bouvier Beale ("Little Edie"), live a true hoarder lifestyle in Grey Gardens (2009), HBO's dramatized version of the famous documentary from 1975. Little Edie never launched after being spurned by a Baldwin, and now finds herself trapped in a codependent relationship with her mother, plus, like, a bazillion cats. At least, the woman knows how to rock a cape. Summer with us in East Hampton* won't you, chickens? (13:05 - 1:51:08) ... Also, The Nevers, Game of Thrones prequels (news that was debunked immediately after our recording), and the AT&T merger. (0 - 13:04) (* a mean, nasty Republican town) | Send feedback to [e-mail].
