On this Heard Tell Podcast we turn down the noise surrounding the controversial Marilyn Monroe movie “Blonde” w/ vintage expert and performer Dolly Monroe, including director Andrew Dominik’s very telling comments, the myth of Marilyn vs the real life Norma Jean, plus how exploitation, objectification, misogyny, and power structures all play a role in dehumanizing someone. Plus, Dolly gives us some of Marilyn’s own work and movies that you should watch instead.
