You Must Remember This

Auteur(s): Stitcher & Karina Longworth
  • Résumé

  • You Must Remember This is a storytelling podcast exploring the secret and/or forgotten histories of Hollywood’s first century. It’s the brainchild and passion project of Karina Longworth (founder of Cinematical.com, former film critic for LA Weekly), who writes, narrates, records and edits each episode. It is a heavily-researched work of creative nonfiction: navigating through conflicting reports, mythology, and institutionalized spin, Karina tries to sort out what really happened behind the films, stars and scandals of the 20th century.

  • Terms of Endearment (Polly Platt, The Invisible Woman, Episode 7)
    Jul 7 2020
    Polly's third marriage falls apart, and she enters more than one destructive affair. During these tumultuous times, Polly establishes a new collaboration with a male writer-director, James L. Brooks, and together the two turn another Larry McMurtry novel into a classic film: Terms of Endearment. Once again, while working on this film about a combative mother-daughter relationship, Polly finds that art and life are intertwined. Polly's own story starts showing up in other people's movies, including Irreconcilable Differences -- starring Ryan O'Neal as a version of Peter Bogdanovich.

  • Pretty Baby and a Playmate Murder (Polly Platt, The Invisible Woman, Episode 6)

    In an attempt to save her family, Polly transitions to screenwriting and producing, basing the prostitution drama Pretty Baby, starring a pre-teen Brooke Shields, on her own daughter. Polly finds herself increasingly overcome by alcoholism, while dealing with Shields's own alcoholic mother. Polly's already-difficult relationship with her two daughters is made much more complicated by the murder of Peter's girlfriend, Dorothy Stratten, and Bogdanovich's subsequent emotional collapse.

  • A Star is Born (Polly Platt, The Invisible Woman, Episode 5)

    When Polly begins her own on-set affair, the double standard of what men can get away with in Hollywood versus what was expected for women would push her to a breaking point. With collaborating with her ex-husband no longer an option, Platt starts attempting to rebuild her career, designing classics such as A Star is Born and Bad News Bears, while also navigating predatory men in power in post-sexual revolution Hollywood.
