Also sorry that it sounds like I may live in a tin can, during the editing it DID NOT sound that way, and I only noticed it AFTER I scheduled for streaming. But we keep it real here at Hard to Handle and are very transparent so I left it. Also my Uncle Ron is literally the best and his voice is crystal clear so ENJOY!

Come on in and have a seat! Grab yourself a drink and some edibles, your ear holes might notice some new sound effects and transitions ... do you like them? Hate them? We will start off with our review of the movie, things we liked, the controversy and whether the A Listers in it did the roles justice. We then will get into Kim K wearing Marilyn's iconic JFK Bday Dress and whether we think she damaged it and how it could have possibly been handled differently. We will then talk about some of the conspiracy with JFK and Rob Kennedy with Marilyn and touch briefly on some aspects of her life. We touch a smidge on her death and what we think could have happened but we dont dive too deep as the episode is right at 1 hour in length. Let us know if you want a SPOILER ALERT review of the movie Blonde in its entirety and whether we should do a 3 part mini series on the conspiracy surrounding Marilyns Death and if she was or wasnt being considered by the FBI as a communist?
