Episode 47: Design for Living (1933)

This episode is a little different from normal. In this episode, G & M live react to the 1933 movie Design for Living, a "polyamorous" movie... or is it? This movie was released just one year before the Hays code (which you can learn more about during this episode too!).

*Due to the nature of the recording, since we were live reacting, please forgive the audio quality! *
