76. Hollywood!

About this episode

In this episode, the hosts discuss Hollywood connections and a peculiar restaurant, leading to improvised scenes and a big scene about two women escaping their post-Depression-era life to visit the cinema.

Let us guess your sign! We're really good at this! This week on Big Town, Josh gabs on about his Hollywood connections and people who have said his name, while Jesse talks about a weird restaurant! This leads to improvised Small Scenes about wait service in the dark, an elusive rock band, and a small town girl's Hollywood dreams! But the stars stay shining for this week's Big Town BIG SCENE, in which two young women escape their sad post-Depression-era life in order to visit something called...THE CINEMA!!!
