Description

In this episode, we discuss:

-the roots of America's gun violence problem in a short with a high body count,

-censoring boobs, slimming butts, and the rules that govern the relentless pursuit of pleasure in the 1940s,

-the fragile masculinity of a showboating, All-American proto-Gaston baseball player,

-being emotionally invested in a clandestine love story between two resilient hats, and

-the tragedy of a The Whale Who Wanted to Sing at the Met singing his only sold out show in Heaven.
