399: The Philadelphia Story/Ball of Fire With Guest Heidi Hovda

Only 3 BaaM episodes left, and now it’s getting classy…dangerous classy. Local film enthusiast and cheerleader Heidi Hovda finally pulls up and programs a double feature straight outta the early-40s screwball playbook: The Philadelphia Story and Ball of Fire. We start things proper—popping champagne alongside The Philadelphia Story like we’ve got Cary Grant money—and then slide into a 2024 Bourbon County Vanilla Rye Brand Stout in an attempt to compete with the heat of Ball of Fire. Expect rapid-fire 40s slang, high society burns, and enough verbal gymnastics to make Jimmy Stewart stutter and Gary Cooper lean back and nod. And make no mistake—Heidi brings the Barbara Stanwyck energy. The real question: can Joe and Dave keep up? Or are they about to get left at the train station holding the luggage while Heidi runs the whole picture? Three episodes left. No fillers. All killers.
