Ep. 71 - Victorian Frozen Weather DISASTERS

On today's episode, Genevieve will have nearly naked women clinging to lampposts, throat-slittings, self-shootings, women choking out would-be burglars, Dante’s Hell of ice, men chopped to pieces, a man named "Chicken" sentenced to hang, and a serenading lover nearly drowned - but he’s OK, that one turns out OK, thank God.
