It was the battle of the faux Philadelphians with Katharine Hepburn in The Philadelphia Story and Ginger Rogers in Kitty Foyle. Why were the 13th Academy Awards so dominated by America's third-most prominent second city? Why is Ginger Rogers talking like that? And why was Joan Fontaine's mother so passive aggressive?

Well, we might not have all the answers, but we have plenty of theories. Join Michael (@mjdomanico) and Walter (@walthickey) as we dive into all of the Philadelphianess of 1940.
