In this episode we break down the first episode of The Act, which was created by Nick Antosca and Michelle Dean, and premiered on March 20, 2019. The Act is a Hulu Original, and the season one finale aired on May 1, 2019. The title of the first episode is “La Maison du Bon Rêve,” which translates loosely to “Dream Home.”
As always, we take a look at the Hulu description: “The Act is a seasonal anthology series that tells startling, stranger-than-fiction true crime stories. The first season follows Gypsy Blanchard, a girl trying to escape the toxic relationship she has with her overprotective mother. Her quest for independence opens a Pandora’s box of secrets, one that ultimately leads to murder.” Thanks for the spoiler alert, guy writing the Hulu description.
We discuss some of the real-life elements of the series--including the HBO documentary Mommy Dead and Dearest--without giving away too much about the fate of Gypsy Rose and Dee Dee Blanchard.
In addition to our detailed breakdown of the episode, we conclude the podcast by posing the question: “Which true-crime murderer would you want to be stranded on a desert island with?”
