Job Hunting (Season 1, Episode 22)
WELCOME TO EPISODE 22 OF THE GOLDEN GIRLS DEEP DIVE PODCAST! Starting from the beginning of the show, each week we recap an episode of The Golden Girls and we end each episode with a fully researched deep dive into something from the Golden Girls universe!
In episode 22, Rose loses her job at the grief counseling center, so she starts inviting former patients to the house for treatment. Shenanigans ensue when the ladies find out that Rose is desperate to find another day job, but can’t seem to land one. Also, Blanche is trying to lose a few pounds and Dorothy is VERY EXCITED (cue jazz hands) for a date with an old… flame. Pun intended.
For this week’s deep dive Jenn is telling us all about the GROUNDBREAKING 1992 film Stop or My Mom Will Shoot starring Estelle Getty and Sly Stallone. OK, groundbreaking might be going a bit far, but you will not BELIEVE the shady backstory about how Sly got the part or WHICH OTHER GOLDEN GIRL WAS ORIGINALLY OFFERED THE MOM ROLE. This one is wild, y’all.
