    After more than 100 episodes of delightful chaos, Melanie and Ed are finally giving *Who the Hell Are We?* a little structure—just a little. From now on, they’ll alternate between one movie and one book, with plenty of time in between for tangents, updates, and whatever else comes up.

    First up: The Philadelphia Story (1940)
    The book? Tune in next time to find out.
