The One Where a Kid Gets Slapped A Thousand Times. This episode, Bradley and Carly are heading to church to talk about the musical-comedy-drama, Going My Way, starring Bing Crosby as Father O'Malley. In the recap, it's daddy vs daddy as Father O'Malley is preparing to take over the parish from the elderly (and very sexist) Father Fitzgibbon. In the midst of all the musical-comedy-drama-ness, the film introduces a barrage of wacky characters such as an old girlfriend/opera star, two teen gang leaders, and an 18-year-old runaway who doesn't know how to sing. In the 2nd half, the hosts discuss the stars and the 17th Academy Awards. Plus, they may not be done with the musical-comedy-drama genre for their next film!
