Welcome to the final episode of the season! This week, we discuss Marion Davies, film actress and lover of the newspaper tycoon William Randolph Hearst. Additionally, we take a look at the history of film and the famous axe murders in Vallisca, Iowa. Grab a seat and join us as we dive into history and mystery!

Note: When Lauren talks about the Hays Code affecting the release of Texas Chainsaw Massacre, it was in fact the MPAA rating system and not the code. The Hays Code ended in 1968 and the Texas Chainsaw Massacre ended in 1974.
