Summary

HBO presents HBO Docs club, a podcast that pulls back the curtain on a wide variety of titles from the HBO Documentary Films unit. We wanted to give you access to the fourth episode, where hosts Brittany Luse (For Colored Nerds) and Ronald Young, Jr. (Solvable) discuss 'Mommy Dead and Dearest', the 2017 documentary about the toxic dynamic between Dee Dee and Gypsy Rose Blancharde that ended in murder. Brittany and Ron interview director Erin Lee Carr about the making of her breakout hit. They also speak with medical child abuse expert Dr. Mary Sanders about the psychology behind Munchhausen by proxy syndrome, and how it affected the dynamic of the Blancharde home.
