What's in the Basket

On this week's bonus episode of What's in the Basket, we break into the RKO vault for our research-free discussion of two minor pre-codes starring Constance Bennett: Sin Takes a Holiday (1930) and Lady With a Past (1932). We mourn the tragic but very brave death of our late comrade-in-arms Amelia, Candice accidentally records an entire episode with her laptop mic, and Ben Lyon takes a beating.

On this week's episode of What's in the Basket, we hop on the party line for our discussion of Pillow Talk (1959). We tackle the significance of Ross Hunter, Doris Day, and Rock Hudson in mid-century popular culture, express our undying love for charismatic powerhouse Tony Randall, and bring up class warfare more times than you might expect.

On the debut episode of What’s in the Basket, we take a trip to 42nd Street for our discussion of Basket Case (1982). Tiff learns why God invented pop filters, Amelia chows down on some hot dogs, and Candice wants to see Belial shake that nasty thing.
