Will This Be On The Test?

Aug 9 2022 • 1 hr 2 mins

Hello Party People!

that was weird, lets try again.

This week Mattie and Austin are back to their usual routine with a pretty great Episode

Mattie talks about an influential figure in film and makeup that we don't learn much about, Lon Chaney. He pioneered a lot of early film makeup and became one of the first faces of the horror movie genre.

Then Austin dredges up a national unpleasant memory and talks about The Presidential Fitness Test. why did we do it? did it actually do anything? and how did Reagan make it worse?
