Hansen’s Team Pick:

This 1938 PSA warns against the evil nature of lesbian menaces looking for any opportunity to lure you into their evil, sexy ways.

The Hollywood Code banned all references to homosexuality in 1934, but apparently PSAs warning against homosexuality were still pretty cool to make. Especially PSAs which feature women talking about burlesque, rubbing arms, and groping collars while asking for a “sleepover”. Oh yeah, it gets intense. You know, taking a girl to a burlesque show sounds like an awesome date to me.

And wouldn’t Lesbian Menace make an awesome superhero name? Dibs.
