You can't win 'em all. Katharine Hepburn got a quick follow-up Oscar nomination after her first win, but this time she lost to Bette Davis in 1935's Dangerous, a film with a name so vague it's impossible to discern what it's about. As an added incentive to listen: across three seasons of this podcast, this episode contains my favorite Oscar trivia I've ever come across.

We're diving into all things Dangerous and Alice Adams, so kick back and enjoy an incredibly sweaty dinner with Michael (@mjdomanico) and Walter (@walthickey), won't you?

Happy New Year, Screen Testers! Our intrepid hosts begin their second year of their quest with the Katherine Hepburn vehicle, Alice Adams. Something of a shaggy dog story, it’s a strange little film in which very little happens, with some confused things to say about class struggle and capitalism. On the plus side, Hepburn gives a striking performance as a complicated and largely unlikable Alice, and it is the first film Suzan and David have watched that unabashedly indicts racism.

Lux Radio Theater, one of the genuine classic radio anthology series
(NBC Blue Network (1934-1935); CBS (1935-1955), adapted first Broadway
stage works, and then (especially) films to hour-long live radio
presentations. It quickly became the most popular dramatic anthology
series on radio, running more than twenty years. The program always
began with an announcer proclaiming, "Ladies and gentlemen, Lux
presents Hollywood!" Cecil B. DeMille was the host of the series each
Monday evening from June 1, 1936, until January 22, 1945.
