FFR 278: What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?

In which Kat mistakenly says "Joan Collins" a bunch of times, instead of Joan Crawford. We knew that our Summer "Camp" series needed to include a hagsploitation film. So we revisited this famously-fraught 1962 psychological thriller starring Crawford and Bette Davis. It's campy, but it's also a darkly serious horror movie, and the play between those tones is super effective.

Discussed in this episode:

• The RuPaul's Drag Race shequel "Wha' Ha' Happened to Baby JJ?"
• FFR's 2019 episode on this film—Anita, Ebony, and Carolyn discussing child stardom onscreen
