Are snakes necessary? Mike and Dan answer this question as they talk about Preston Struges's 1941 masterpiece The Lady Eve. Topics include the perfect stooge, the blend of literate and physical comedy, and how one of the most convoluted premises in film serves as a dead-on reflection of how millions of people enter their marriages. There's also a conversation about sex in movies, with allusions to Don't Look Now, Watchmen, North by Northwest, and The Godfather, which Mike reminds Dan has two sex scenes, not just the famous one with Michael and Apollonia. So grab the ale that won for Yale and give it a listen!
