0:00.0	Hello, my name is Justin the Clue, and I'm here today with Will Sloan.
0:09.1	And you're listening to The Important Cinema Club.
0:12.1	And today, we're going to get maybe a little body, a little sexy.
0:16.2	We're the podcast that works at Paramount all day and Fox all night. Whoa, we're talking about May
0:23.6	West. That's right. Come up and see us sometime. Wait, wait, wait. That's the line she didn't
0:28.4	actually say in that exact verbiage, right? Well, she said that and Humphrey Bogart said play it
0:33.2	again, Sam. Everyone knows this. We have confirmed this. And with this, I have said all the facts that I knew about May West before this episode.
0:40.9	Last week, I asked people, have you seen a May West film?
0:44.4	And I have to say, most people said, no.

With many years of experience, five stars. But I want to say, if this sounds like I'm being dismissive towards
1:45.9	May West, I don't intend to, because I had a good time this week. I enjoyed these movies,
1:50.0	and one in particular, I really liked. And we'll get to it. And we'll get to it. So,
1:54.2	May West, I don't think I've ever heard anyone talk about her other than me reading about her in books? Well, yeah, if you get a book
2:03.2	about, you know, the history of Hollywood from the 1970s, you'll see her picture next to, you know,
