    The Kennedy Curse, Part 8 - John F. Kennedy

    We are getting into the JFK of it all. When Nikki wrote the scripts for the JFK episodes, she planned on four episodes. Welp, we already had to make the first episode into a part one and part two. Sure, there's a ton of info and theories and whatever, but the length is more likely because JOY'S BACK! In part one of part one of the JFK episodes, we talk about Jack and Jackie's wedding, the babies they lost, and Jack's compulsive sexual behavior with women, even in the White House.
