Fancy Movie Time #5: All About Eve

On this month's Fancy Movie Time with Brian and A.J., the Fancy Lads battle their way through the sexism of showbiz as they witness the glory and downfall of the titular heroine of Joseph L.

So, in that spirit, here's the extended version of "Waiting On a Song From Steve" which I have dubbed "James' Ver...
