Pack your bags darling listeners as Heyd and Erin journey to East Hampton to explore a guilty pleasure film called Gray Gardens, a documentary featuring Big and Little Edie, a mother-daughter duo who represent a riches-to-rags story. As outsiders in their community, the Beales have cemented themselves as camp icons with a penchant for performing their musical talents whilst swimming in the ocean of nostalgic reverie. As we dig into themes of arrested development, the aesthetics of decay, and exhibitionism, you too can have your cake and eat, chew and masticate it too!

Tangents: cat lady trope, empathy, avant-garde fashion, Michael Jackson, the Kardashians,  Abstract Expressionism, Madonna, Criterion Collection, feminism, match-making, portraiture
