WELCOME TO EPISODE 26 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 this episode, Blanche panics when she takes a pregnancy test and leans that she's pregnant. She quickly discovers, however, that she is not pregnant and has in fact started menopause. Shenanigans ensue when we learn that Dorothy and Rose ARE BREEDING MINKS IN THE GARAGE. It makes absolutely no sense BUT WE LOVE THEM ANYWAY. For this week's deep dive, Patrick tells us all about the 80s classic film "Mannequin", which was Estelle Getty's first major film role!
