We're celebrating Marilyn Monroe's centennial with an episode fit for a legend! Kristen and guest Alisha Soper look at Marilyn's filmography and lay out their top 3 favorite films from the blonde bombshell. Along the way, Soper talks about being an actress with a skillset in playing Monroe. We also grouse about Don Murray in Bus Stop and why Arthur Miller screwed up everything.
