The New Yorker profiled You Must Remember This, the podcast about forgotten Hollywood by Karina Longworth. She started the show in 2014 and the piece looks at how she builds each of her 14 seasons by revealing a truth unseen about old Hollywood.
It’s a long piece detailing her background (married to film director Rian Johnson) of being a former LA Weekly movie reviewer and looking at why some of the old mysteries continue to hold their charm over us. She often reads written pieces about the old subjects but still manages to leave some myths intact and pour over why it was such a fascinating period.
