Chelsea is joined by Jodie Sweetin (“Full House” and the “How Rude, Tanneritos!” podcast) to break down “A Paper Life,” by Tatum O’Neal, Hollywood’s youngest-ever Oscar winner. This is perhaps the most intense memoir this podcast has ever covered!! And because it’s 1970s Hollywood, there are appearances by Cher, Barbra Streisand, Anjelica Huston, Melanie Griffith, and—of course—Mick Jagger. Jodie reflects on her own experiences as a child star, while Chelsea yells at Oprah for trying to bring Tatum and her father, Ryan, back together.
