Short Subject: Reel 35 Outtake
This was a chunk of Episode 35 that went off-topic and we decided to cut it for time, but also thought most of what was said was actually kind of important. Also, we both made a mistake regarding Cecil B. DeMille near the end of the clip, so Claude took the opportunity to eat crow…
