<div>In which we discover a secret history of cinema, a history that created American pop culture one terrifying shower and screwball bathtub scene at a time. One in which the hot tub plays a major role in the war on drugs and the battle of the sexes, and in which sci-fi visions imagine bathtubs of the future as places for healing, transformation, and goo.

In this episode, Gabby & Brandon dig into their sample of 1,500 bathing movies, talk to film scholars, correct some misinformation on Cleopatra, and answer the question of just which is more popular in movies — the shower or the tub. 

This is the true Hollywood story those dry and dirty oligarchs <em>don’t want you to hear</em>.
