In this week's episode, Mike and Steven go way back to the Golden Age of Hollywood to discuss a throwdown between two very different Katharine Hepburn/Cary Grant films. It's 1938's Bringing Up Baby, directed by Howard Hawks, going up against George Cukor's The Philadelphia Story from 1940. Helping them figure out which film is better is return guest author Laura Carney. It's a battle of excellent classic films where picking the better one is a real chore. Tune in to see where the gang lands!
