Listen "Fearless Pretender Episode 3A: "I’m Trying To Figure Out What Happened""

Episode Synopsis

In the first half of our first two part episode (the recording ran very long), Sam and Jason are joined by a guest: Sam's Hawke Talk co-host Timothy Evans, to discuss Jennifer's first after school special, and the first of many projects covering the topic of abortion: I Think I'm Having a Baby. We discuss the phenomenon that is the after school special, the differences between the way American TV covered abortion and the discourse around it in the 80s and now, and the development of Jennifer's performance, among many other things.
We will be back next week with Episode 3B: "Jane", covering Jennifer's first theatrical release; the slasher thriller Eyes of a Stranger.
