Academy vs. Audience meets its nemesis in 1932

It's 1932, and one of the first all-star casts snags the top trophy at the Oscars... and also an inauspicious place in Oscar history. Greta Garbo, Joan Crawford, and two Barrymores join forces in Grand Hotel... but audiences instead drifted to a musical comedy that's hardly comedic and barely musical. That's right, our nemesis arrives as Eddie Cantor stars in The Kid From Spain, and a lot of makeup is used for evil. Dan, Claire, and Erin find the simple joys of Grand Hotel (especially friend of the podcast Lionel Barrymore) then attempt to destroy early 30s box office titan Eddie Cantor on as many levels as possible.
