FREE SUBS TASTER: Love Story Part 2: Jackie O, The Kennedys & That Fight Scene
Mamamia Out Loud
Young viewers' idolisation vs dysfunction
Amelia explains online fans framed the scene as passion while she sees it as dysfunction.
Outlouders, enjoy this free nibble of Mia Freedman. Listen to the full conversation — Love Story Part 2: Jackie O, The Kennedys & That Fight Scene— at 5 pm TODAY. What do you mean, you're not a subscriber yet? Solve that problem HERE.
Mia & Amelia are (still) obsessed with Carolyn Bessette Kennedy (CBK) so they’re back for Part 2 of their deep dive into the TV series Love Story.
From Naomi Watts’ depiction of real-life icon Jackie O to the complex roles of Darryl Hannah and the Kennedy matriarchs, they’re unpacking what it must have been like to marry into the complicated Kennedy family.
Plus, Mia and Amelia examine the toxic dynamics that defined the couple’s public life and break down that infamous Central Park fight scene. Was it a moment of passion, or was it "emotional dysregulation"?
They also discuss the poignant newsletter from the couple’s close friend Carole Radziwill, who explains why she refuses to watch the show and the unsettling question of whether why the dead are never allowed to rest in peace in the age of AI.
It’s a raw and slightly uncomfortable look at how we consume the tragedies of the past as modern entertainment.
Remember, this is your free sample of today's subs episode. The full debrief drops for subscribers at 5pm.
