We're doing something a little different this week as we explore sixty years of the Oscars, from the anti-union origins of the Academy in the late 1920s to the career-ending broadcast of 1989. Join us for tales of gatecrashers, axes, protesters, decapitations, fascists, streakers, and some good old-fashioned Joan Crawford chaos magic from the very messy history of the best worst awards show we know.

Please Note: This episode features some weather-related audio issues during the first twenty minutes. Thanks for bearing with us!
