Break In (Season 1, Episode 8)

WELCOME TO EPISODE 8 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! After attending a MADONNA CONCERT – because, of course – the ladies return home to discover that they have been robbed. Shenanigans ensue when Rose starts to unravel and then GETS A GUN to keep herself and her roommates safe.  For this week’s deep dive, Patrick is going to tell us all about the TV Movie An Early Frost, which was the first move EVER to deal with the burgeoning AIDS crisis. The movie, starring a young Aiden Quinn, premiered the same week as this episode of The Golden Girls aired. After production started, the network wanted to pull the plug, but had made the mistake of hiring a bunch of gay men to make the movie AND. THOSE. QUEENS. WOULD. NOT. BE. STOPPED. It’s an inspiring and fascinating story! Our episodes are researched by Jess McKillop, Patrick Hinds, and Jennifer Simard. Visit our website for a full list of sources.
