Cher in the 80s (Part 1) with Marie Bardi-Salinas

About this episode

The episode features a discussion about Cher's film career in the 1980s with guest Marie Bardi-Salinas.

On this week’s episode, we are joined by Marie Bardi-Salinas (Blank Check Podcast) to talk about the mononymous icon herself: Cher, and her prolific cinematic run in the 1980s. In this epic two-parter, we discuss her hippie-chic beginnings, unstoppable run of collaborations with 70s new school directors, bagel boys, age gap tabloid baiting before it was cool, and going from award season regular snub to Academy Award-winning rockstar. Films Discussed: Come Back To The Five and Dime Jimmy Dean (1982) Silkwood (1983) Mask (1983)
