It’s time to honor one of Hollywood’s most talked about feuds with the 60th anniversary of the Oscar-winning ‘What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?’ Joan Crawford and Bette Davis lead this macabre duet late in their careers, but nonetheless sparked an entirely new genre of psychological thrillers. From production background to the legacy of the film (especially an iconic Drag Race sketch), Nick and Sophia break down every moment on and off set, share their favorite scenes, and look at the actual Academy Awards ceremony to question the actual validity to the feud rumors and honor this campy cult classic.
