The year is 1927 and everything is horrible. The Radium Girls file a lawsuit because they're dying, Mount Rushmore's problematic beginnings, and a man who likes to spend time at home is murdered by his wife over insurance money.

 

All of this, plus the year's top 5 movies (spoiler- Amy ends up complaining about more than one of them) and music.

 

Whew, 1927 was just scandal after scandal. Listen now to get all the details.
