3: Episode 3: Into the Shabby Heart of Prestige

We wanted a mission. And for our sins, they sent us to Hollywood.

In this episode, Gabby & Brandon finally confront the very nature of prestige by taking a tour of duty to the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and by tackling the bathing data for every single film nominated for a Best Actress Oscar. Will Brandon’s “Prestige Bathtub Theory” (PBT) hold? How does Amy Adams compare to other A-listers? And which movie tropes are guaranteed winners? Hint: Nazis who can’t read.

On an accidentally significant day, our duo go to the stars looking for the meaning of escape.

"Why Is Amy in the Bath?" is produced by Grab Bag Collab and Because It's True Productions.
