Why Is Amy in the Bath? S1 Ep3: Episode 3: Into the Shabby Heart of Prestige

We wanted a mission. And for our sins, they sent us to Hollywood.
In this episode, Gabby & Brandon finally confront the very nature of prestige by taking a tour of duty to the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and by tackling the bathing data for every single film nominated for a Best Actress Oscar. Will Brandon’s “Prestige Bathtub Theory” (PBT) hold? How does Amy Adams compare to other A-listers? And which movie tropes are guaranteed winners? Hint: Nazis who can’t read.
On an accidentally significant day, our duo go to the stars looking for the meaning of escape.
