1936: Greats and Disasters


Listen Later

1936 sees the first Great Man Biopic take Best Picture in a highly, HIGHLY sanitized biography of Broadway legend Florenz Ziegfeld. Clare and Erin get swept up in the showmanship of the musical numbers, while Dan can only see a grim portent of empty calorie actor showcase biopics to come. Meanwhile, audiences turn out to see Clark Gable attempt to survive the San Francisco earthquake of 1936. One's a disaster movie, but are the movies disasters? Listen and find out!
