"Yes, she's emotionally disturbed. She's unbalanced!"

For our final week on the incomparable Joan Crawford, we will be talking about one of our favourite films: the 1962 psychological thriller, What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?

Two aging sisters, former child star Baby Jane Hudson (Bette Davis) and her wheelchair-bound sister Blanche (Joan Crawford), live together in a decaying mansion filled with resentment, secrets, dead animals, and DRAG.

"A man can lie, steal... and even kill. But as long as he hangs on to his pride, he's still a man. All a woman has to do is slip - once. And she's a "tramp!" Must be a great comfort to you to be a man."

For our third week on Joan Crawford, we are looking at the 1954 gritty Western, Johnny Guitar, where love, power, and revenge collide. Directed by Nicholas Ray, the film follows the mysterious gunslinger Johnny Guitar (Sterling Hayden) entangled in a tense love triangle with the fearless saloon owner Vienna (Joan Crawford) and the menacing, and kind of camp, Emma Small (Mercedes McCambridge).

"Oh, I loved her so much. Oh, please God, don't ever let anything happen to Veda."

For our second week discussing the legend Joan Crawford, we are chatting about her Oscar-winning performance in the 1945 film, Mildred Pierce.

Based on a novel by James M. Cain, Mildred Pierce follows the titular character, played by Joan, as she tries to build a life for herself and her daughters away from her toxic ex husband. What emerges is possibly the most demonic, evil movie villain of all time: Veda Pierce.

We discuss our thoughts about the film, Veda, and Joan's performance, as well as what 1945 feminist takes don't quite live up to a modern perspective.
