  1. Lorraine Nicholson (daughter of Jack) has an article in Vanity Fair’s Hollywood issue about going to the mansion as a kid. She was born in 1990 and grew up with Cooper and Marston.
  2. This! I didn’t know much about her, so I was surprised to learn Jill Ann died three months after Hef.🙄😑 So much for empty conspiracy theory. I was also a bit surprised they bothered to do a Dorothy Stratten episode since her case is so well-known. I found the Paula Sladewski case the most interesting of the recent batch. Stephanie Adams might make for a good episode if well-researched, pretty dark story though.😕
  3. The Jill Ann Spaulding episode is on this week and Bridget is one of the talking heads.
  4. I watched this over the weekend and thought it was quite good.
  5. I watched ep 1 and 2 of season 2. I knew one of the Bentleys had been involved with a financial scammer, but didn’t know the whole story, so this was really interesting to me. I’ll look for the Dateline. The Brande, Sandy, Mandy era was when I started paying attention to the world of Playboy. I thought they made a bit of a stretch to Manson just because Victoria was friendly with Tate and Polanski, but ok whatever-he’s a true crime staple. You Must Remember This podcast did a great “Charlie Manson’s Hollywood” season on his celebrity adjacency.
  6. Season 2 of The Playboy Murders is on Max. The show has it’s own thread. Ep. 1 is on the Bentley twin (Sandy) that was involved with the jewel thief post-Mansion.
  7. Wow! I need to finish up the reunion. I like the twins, but yikes at Jason sleeping his way through his employees/contractors. Even if there’s no “me toos” it engenders resentment like when Nicole (?) said Chrishelle got preferential listings because she was with Jason at the time.
  8. I stopped listening to the pod probably 6 or 7 months ago because Holly used her “Ewww” voice when referring to Hef as being too atheist to participate in their ghost-hunting. I commented about it on their IG, but the comment was erased. I did watch “The Playboy Murders” ID show she hosted and found it entertaining.
  9. Does anyone know exactly what year this takes place? If Dawn hadn’t been hit by the car, I feel like she could have gotten an abortion in 1970s NY, and gone on with her life. I haven’t read the books in years, but didn’t Lillian’s husband rape Laura Sue? I was a bit surprised Dawn accused her of “seducing her father in law” since she obviously knows how that family rolls from Phillip’s entitlement.
  10. Just starting Dawn via Google Play since I’m a cord-cutter. I knew I had forgotten to do something this weekend. OMG, why do these two opposite gender teenagers share a bed? 😬 I believe CPS guidelines wouldn’t even let them share a room after age 12. 🙅🏽‍♀️ I guess people weren’t as closely monitored in the 70’s, especially without egregious abuse/police involvement, but yikes. You’d think one of them would move to the couch. Nevermind, I guess this is the couch/sofa bed in the Richmond apartment.
  11. I loved it, very well done. I like how she incorporated the political history of NYC at the time.
  12. I’ll be here with bells on! My dad’s side of the family is in Tuscaloosa and my brother is a graduate.
  13. Exactly. Jackie seems troubled with all her vague statements about “bad things” back home and need for time-outs, but Marshall’s Captain Save-um statements about her and to. her. face. were “Yikes!”. He’s a good-looking guy, (and those pancakes looked good) but that was red flags all over the place. A mentally healthy woman wouldn’t provide the drama and fawning gratitude he may need.
  14. It’s very good, I love hearing Pam’s story directly from her. Her childhood was more traumatic than I thought even she’s spoken of some things before. The Tommy Lee relationship makes total sense now since her parents pretty much behaved the same way. I had no idea she dated Mario Van Peebles so that was new info. 😳Though I see where America’s sex symbol dating a Black man would have been kept quiet in 1990.
  15. Holeee shit, how long is Holly going to talk about The Bunny Costume? 😱 My brain is melting.😂
  16. I really enjoyed this! It went much deeper than I expected it to.
  17. I assume Lisa followed Julian into sex work and realized he was more a “boyfriend pimp” and wasn’t in love with her, or perhaps she was assaulted and realized the life isn’t all champagne and pool parties? Like you said, they could have cut out 90% of the flashbacks to give us Lisa and her sister’s story and it would have made for compelling tv. I shouldn’t have to write a better show in my head.😂
  18. I just found Nick as an interview subject in the Soft White Underbelly YouTube series. It’s from August 2021.
  19. They also made a point to show that the porn star Ethan was watching very much resembled Daphne.
  20. The Misfires Are the Point: Dressing Gen Z for ‘The White Lotus’ Portia’s fashion choices made it to The NY Times.😂
  21. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that Murray Bartlett (Nick) was Armond on season one of “The White Lotus”. I love that show and never would have recognized him in a million years with an American accent and in full 70s persona.
  22. But what’s Cameron’s motive though? Daphne (and Harper and Ethan) all know he cheats, and hiring escorts seems to be accepted behavior among his “sociopathic” peer group. He’s not a politician or a minister with a reputation to protect. Outside of a pimp (or fake pimp) to rough him up, I don’t see where Lucia can really harm him for shafting her, unless she steals Daphne’s jewelry or something as payment. The fact that his not having her money would expose him as secretly broke would be a good motive, but any $1300 charge could pop up and do that.
  23. I’m going to speculate that one or more of the guests will get roughed up by Lucia’s pimp (and whatever associates he may have) and perhaps that results in a body. Like in season 1 where Kai stole the jewelry intending to hire a lawyer to get his family’s stolen land back, it was the Native Hawaiian’s revenge against forces of colonialism- the hotel itself and rich white Americans. In season 2 we have rich white American men who worship Godfather movies- what if they have to tangle with the real mafia and it’s more like “Gomorra” than “The Sopranos”? You’ve got F. Murray Abraham who was in Scarface, plus Christopher, it would be very meta . .
  24. See, I told y’all Cameron was trying to swing or I guess just “conquer” Harper 😂. So far dude is no criminal mastermind, just a horny entitled bro. Portia finally put together a cute outfit for her date, yay! I’m not too surprised at Jack being trade, but I’m sure she will be. I think Quentin is definitely trying to marry Tanya for palazzo upkeep money, but I don’t know if he’s necessarily nefarious. Albie certainly found his “wounded bird” to rescue, nothing good will come of this. Lucia’s pimp was kind of hot though. Yikes, Valentina needs to learn to read the room re: Isabella. The Dom/Bert convo was interesting, but I wonder if he’ll really change his ways.
  25. I listened to the Welcome to Your Fantasy podcast last year and assumed this show was based on it, but I see it’s based on a book instead.
