WELCOME TO EPISODE 25 OF THE GOLDEN GIRLS DEEP DIVE PODCAST!
In episode 25, WE GET THE GOLDEN GIRLS ORIGIN STORY!! We find out how they all became roommates AND shenanigans ensue when Patrick points out the one plot point that could possibly derail the whole thing?
For the week’s deep dive, Jenn is giving us all the tea on Mame, the musical and, ahem, film that put Bea Arthur's talents on full display and was the beginning of the lifelong beautiful friendship between Bea and Dame Angela Lansbury.
Our episodes are researched by Jess McKillop, Patrick Hinds, and Jennifer Simard. All of our sources can be found on our website. Follow us on Instagram and TikTok at @GoldenGirlsDeepDive
