HarryCarter Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 The third season of TCM’s podcast, The Plot Thickens, will be all about Lucy!

You can listen to the first season and the just premiered second season on the TCM website, YouTube, or whenever podcasts are available. https://theplotthickens.tcm.com/ The first season on Peter Bogdanovich was terrific. The current second season - about the making of the film Bonfire of the Vanities is very engrossing. I don’t know of anything that has presented the making of a movie with such an unfiltered access. The podcast going to do an outstanding job with Lucy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Hepburn Posted July 22, 2021 Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 https://theplotthickens.tcm.com/season-three/ Lucy’s season now has a page! I’m very curious who the 50 people interviewed are not to mention any “surprising revelations.” As a side note, I’ve been wishing old Hollywood podcast “You Must Remember This” would cover Lucy is some form. The host, Karina Longworth, goes above and beyond in their research, engaging narration, music, etc. Highly recommend everyone check out that podcast as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvsbway Posted October 12, 2021 Report Share Posted October 12, 2021 I am in love. the rare clips, how they were used to tell the story, and how vividly they tell the story that I can picture it in my head. My favorite parts were Lucy and her mom discussing when Henry died. The story Lucy tells about her and Ed seeing Julius and especially all the Johnny stuff. I was listening on my way to work and applauded when I I heard Jimmy's name. From the social media reports I'm seeing on Lucy groups and pages people are loving this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvsbway Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 Desi's went with an overriding theme that I didn't see coming. I think it was handled very well because it lays the ground work to help explain things in their marriage and the eventual demise. I also like that these episodes are not trying to be light and fluffy but get into some very adult stuff with some adult language used by Lucy and Desi themselves. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
