Losing Childhood Icons, Cult Classics, and Longlegs

On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, it’s been a bit of a rough past week with several TV icons lost to fans such as Richard Simmons, Dr. Ruth, Shannen Doherty, Shelly Duvall. Therefore, we thought it apropos to tweak a previous topic from last year and discuss those beloved childhood icons – people that truly impacted us in our youth – and unpack why their eventual deaths hit us so hard.

Also on this episode, Alec Baldwin’s case is dismissed, Michael Bay gets Barbaric, our review of Longlegs, we debate if cult classics can still exist, and so much more!
