March 20, 2019 Bonus Episode #6: Jeff Chandler Centennial
Last year we had plans to honor our final Centennial Celebrant, Jeff Chandler. But due to Kristen's move and the holidays it didn't happen as planned but we still wanted to honor him! So Samantha and Kristen sat down to discuss 1955's Fox Fire. We talk about feminism, the representation of Native Americans, and whether Jane Russell's pixie cut is a good look or not.
