Episode Episode 140 -- Lena Dunham Cover

Beschreibung

For this episode, Adrian and Moira discuss the life, career and (many, many) opinions of Lena Dunham -- creator of Girls, writer of memoirs and the face that launched a million think-pieces back in the 2010s. They touch on the gendered attacks, questions of maturity and accomplishment, nepobabydom and the Apatow extended universe, as well as on the conspicuously different reception Dunham's new memoir has received when compared to her earlier work.

Episode Episode 136 -- Marilyn Monroe Cover

Episode 136 -- Marilyn Monroe

For this episode, Moira guides Adrian through the life, career and legacy of Marilyn Monroe, and the role gender played in all three. Monroe was born Norma Jeane Mortenson in Los Angeles on June 1, 1926 -- so her centennial is coming up in a few weeks. We touch on Monroe's suffering, her canny manipulation of her own image, and the political dimension of her public persona. Here are some of the books and articles we refer to in the episode: Joyce Carol Oates, "Blonde [https://archive.org/details/blondenovel0000oate/page/n3/mode/2up]" Norman Mailer, "Marilyn, A Biography [https://archive.org/details/marilynbiography0000mail_e4y4]" (NOT an endorsement) Gloria Steinem, Marilyn Monroe: Norma Jeane [https://archive.org/details/marilynnormajean0000stei] Jaqueline Rose, Women in Dark Times [https://archive.org/details/womenindarktimes0000rose_q8u1/] Lois Banner, "Marilyn Monroe: proto-feminist? [https://www.theguardian.com/film/2012/jul/21/marilyn-monroe-feminist-psychoanalysis-lois-banner]"
