Valny March 5, 2022 Share March 5, 2022 I can't wait for this one. I just started listening to the podcast and I'm flying through it. It's so weird that it's going to be on network tv! I had to double check. You hardly see that anymore because so many things go to the streaming channels. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/117920-the-thing-about-the-media/#findComment-7325446

The whole thing has such a comical, OTT tone that Rene's appearance isn't nearly as distracting as it would be in a show that was trying to be realistic. I hate to say this about a show about a murdered cancer victim, but it's pretty fun! 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/117920-the-thing-about-the-media/#findComment-7332447

fishcakes March 25, 2022 Share March 25, 2022 (edited) The prosecutor Leah Askey talking about Judy Greer's portrayal of her in the miniseries (no spoilers): She says that winning the Russ Faria trial was the worst thing that ever happened to her. I would say it was worse for Russ, but she probably doesn't care about that. The other interesting thing was that she said she never had any interaction with Pam until after the first trial. She had to have interviewed her before trial, not to mention questioning her on the stand, so by "interaction" she must mean "social interaction." I interpret that as her saying she didn't socialize with Pam until after the trial. This is maybe not the great look she thinks it is.

Crs97 March 31, 2022 Share March 31, 2022 I found myself looking at Mariah’s Instagram and now wish I hadn’t. She seemed to be blaming Russ for not accepting the apology she made to him on the news, but that apology was just that she was sorry for everything he went through and now they had to just move forward. She also seems to shade him that there is nothing her son could do to her that would make her turn away from him. I thought maybe she should wonder if her son would ever believe her guilty of a horrific crime. It is all just so sad. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/117920-the-thing-about-the-media/#findComment-7374687

Fig Newton April 7, 2022 Share April 7, 2022 This series is just incredible on so many levels. From the distortion of truth, the psychopathy, the absurdity of the trial to the simply stellar performance from Renee Zellwegger. So, I had to do a Google search (I have no patience to wait to hear in the series, LOL) and came upon this . Quite interesting. Who knew?

In 2011, Pam Hupp and her friend Betsy Faria, who was suffering from terminal cancer, collected money for another family affected by cancer without that family being made aware of the collection. Pam and Betsy went door to door passing out flyers and reportedly collected $10,000. The flyer had a picture of the Murphy Family from their Christmas card and stated that this would be James Murphy's wife Laura's last Christmas.The real Pam Hupp (left) came up with a scam to collect money for a family battling cancer and then keep the money. Actress Renée Zellweger (right) plays Hupp in the miniseries. In researching The Thing About Pam fact vs. fiction, we learned that Betsy was indeed thrilled to be helping another family affected by the disease that was killing her. She saw her role in the collection as a way she could be remembered after she was gone. The problem was that Pam had gone behind the Murphys' backs and exaggerated Laura Murhpy's story for her own financial gain. While Laura Murphy did have cancer, she wasn't on her deathbed (she actually survived two more Christmases). No evidence was found to suggest that Betsy had any knowledge that Pam intended to keep the money instead of giving it to the family. -FOX 2 3 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/117920-the-thing-about-the-media/#findComment-7398287
