Got a bit of an Old Hollywood birthday sandwich for you today. Wishing a happy belated birthday to Claude Rains and Richard Burton, and a happy early birthday to Grace Kelly! Give us your favorite films from each actor in the comments! #filmsky #moviesky

Watching DR. STRANGELOVE (1964) today is weird. It feels less like a satire and more like a documentary. We talk about it alongside film critic @reeljeffewing.bsky.social in our four week Films of Resistance series. You can listen to the episode now by subscribing to our Patreon. #tcmparty

Coming into the weekend with all the power of a nuclear blast! This month we're doing a four-week series on Films of Resistance and every single episode will be on our main feed. You can prep for next week's episode by streaming 1964's DR. STRANGELOVE wherever you get movies.

I did an entire episode of @ticklishbiz.bsky.social with @alexsteed.bsky.social this morning with my cat in my lap so if anyone has responded positively to my instagram content for TB that features Richard the Cat, well, you're in luck with our forthcoming video 😐

We're celebrating Joel McCrea for this Throwback Thursday, back to our 2022 episode when we talked to Wyatt McCrea about his famous grandfather. You can listen to the episode via our Patreon at the link in bio. Or you can comment "McCrea" to learn more! What's your favorite Joel McCrea movie?

Catch this on @tcmtv.bsky.social tonight! One of Rock Hudson's best performances in 1956's GIANT. Based on a novel by Edna Ferber (no, it's not in Kristen's book "But Have You Read the Book") this multigenerational story is epic and remarkably progressive for the time. #tcmparty

We had to shout out our friend (& secret listener....don't tell us she isn't) Sabrina Carpenter to ask what's stopping men from being Bill Holden in Born Yesterday? Nell Minow joins @kristenklopez.bsky.social & @msemilyedwards.bsky.social to talk about why Holden's character is perfect. #tcmparty

👻Ticklish Business wishes everyone a happy and safe Halloween with some of our favorite Old Hollywood witches.👻 Share your Old Hollywood Halloween pictures with us, or your dream Old Hollywood costume idea, in the comments below. #Tcmparty

Love this theme! 💪 My go-to resistance films (not that anyone asked but lately they’ve also become my comfort films): A Stranger in Town (1943), Intruder in the Dust (1949) and a little film called Casablanca (1942). #FilmSky #TicklishBiz

This is a really special season I wanted to do on Ticklish Biz! We’re talking movies that celebrate democracy, independence and all the things we’re trying to save. If you haven’t listened to the show before now is a great time to subscribe!

This November on @ticklishbiz.bsky.social: our Films of Resistance slate! Two episodes released publicly, two on Patreon. Very excited for the pics we, well, picked. @kristenklopez.bsky.social chose BORN YESTERDAY & COMING HOME, I chose DR STRANGELOVE and HAIR! Join us: patreon.com/ticklishbiz

We're throwing it back to last Halloween's episode on THE SHINING (1980) w/author and Pixar director Lee Unkrich as our guest. We dived deep into Stanley Kubrick's world, and we're still cleaning up all the🩸from the elevator. Drop "Here's Johnny" in the comments to listen or via the link in bio.

Ticklish Biz is resisting in November! We're honoring the movies that celebrate democracy in all its many forms, from the power of history, to satire, to disabled rights and non-conformity. Join us on your favorite podcast apps and on Patreon as we put the spotlight on films of resistance.

It's Halloween week and we're kicking it off with Kristen's top 3 classic Halloween films. Drop yours in the comments!! And be sure to listen to our Halloween episodes this year on Nosferatu (1922) and A Bucket of Blood (1959) on all podcast apps.

Our hearts are with the family of actress June Lockhart. A staple of TV, from LASSIE to LOST IN SPACE, and one who also gave us such memorable appearances in film. She'll always be Lucille Ballard in MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS (1944). She just turned 100 in June. We'll miss her dearly.

Coming into the weekend the SCANNERS way. We had to recommend 1981's SCANNERS as this week's Halloween suggestion. And wouldn't you know, you can watch it tonight on @TCMtv.bsky.social as part of their Creepy Cinema series. Are you a David Cronenberg fan? Tell us in the comments.

A happy birthday to two spooky season women: Una O'Connor and Coleen Gray! O'Connor is best known as the shrieking townswoman in THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN (1935) while Coleen Gray dazzled us in the carnival noir NIGHTMARE ALLEY (1949) Tell us your favorite Una O'Connor or Coleen Gray performance.

Got to nerd out with the great Rodman Flender about Roger Corman! Listen to the episode on all podcast apps now.

🚨NEW EPISODE🚨We're talking beatniks and Roger Corman's A BUCKET OF BLOOD (1959) with special. guest Rodman Flender. Listen to the episode on all podcast apps now. Spotify: tinyurl.com/4ysv7ay9 Apple Podcasts: tinyurl.com/spjcsm6v

Ticklish Biz is ready for #TCMFF 2026! See ya all there! #tcmparty

Join us on Patreon next week as we drop our next episode of Based on a True Podcast looking at the 1998 James Whale quasi-biopic GODS AND MONSTERS! The movie won an Oscar for screenwriter Bill Condon, and some might argue we wouldn't have Brendan Fraser in THE MUMMY if not for this movie. #filmsky

Roger Corman said that directors who worked for him usually never had to work for him again. Director Rodman Flender, who came out of the Corman school, talks about that in our latest episode on 1959's A BUCKET OF BLOOD. Became a Patron and listen now! What's your favorite Roger Corman movie?

Happy heavenly birthday to two utterly astounding actresses: Jean Arthur and Rita Hayworth! Both performed in a variety of different genres. One was brassy and scrappy, the other was elegance with a flair for dance. We can't imagine our love of Old Hollywood without them. #filmsky #moviesky

So sad to hear about the loss of Samantha Eggar today at the age of 86. Her fabulous work in William Wyler's THE COLLECTOR (1965) was the first I'd seen of her, and she gave equally wonderful performances in DOCTOR DOOLITTLE (1967) and David Cronenberg's THE BROOD (1979).

Doing a dual Throwback Thursday, taking it back to 2022 when we did our Vincent Price Top 3 with Karie Bible and last year's episode on THE TINGLER (1959). Listen to both in our archive at the link in bio. #filmsky #moviesky

It's fall and we're manifesting a better job market and a cozy fall swathed in long coats and glamour. Who's your go-to fall fashionista on film? #filmsky #moviesky

Our Halloween recommendation for this week is Tod Browning's 1935 feature MARK OF THE VAMPIRE. This was Browning's attempt to recapture the success he had with DRACULA, four years prior, after coming of the movie FREAKS in 1932. MARK OF THE VAMPIRE is eerie with a highly unique ending. #filmsky

Are you ready for A BUCKET OF BLOOD (1959)? Special guest Rodman Flender sits down with us to talk about Roger Corman and this quasi-horror film that's really more a beatnik send-up. You won't want to miss it next week. #filmsky

Our 💙 is with the family and friends of actress Diane Keaton, who passed away at the age of 79. Keaton was one of the defining actresses of the 1970s and 1980s. From THE GODFATHER to BABY BOOM, FIRST WIVES CLUB to FATHER OF THE BRIDE, Keaton was always a magnetic powerhouse. We'll miss her.

Wow. This is a shock. people.com/diane-keaton...

Our Ticklish Biz Halloween recommendation for this week is 1942's CAT PEOPLE. This Val Lewton masterpiece has so many layers to it and is anchored by a fabulous performance from the underrated Simone Simon.

It's Throwback Thursday and this week we're going back to last year's Halloween episode when TALES FROM THE CRYPT cinematographer Levie Isaaks joined us to talk about George Romero's 1968 film NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD. Listen to the full episode via our archive at TicklishBusiness.podbean.com.

We're in the midst of spooky season on Ticklish Biz and we had such a blast talking about Murnau's missing skull. Oh, and NOSFERATU.

We're recommending spooky movies all this month starting with this 1960s Brit chiller which you can watch on @TCMtv.bsky.social today! Village of the Damned is so eerie and fun, with George Sander giving a great performance.

We'e celebrating a dual birthday today! One is known for being practically perfect in every way while the other was best at playing curmudgeons. Happy birthday to Julie Andrews and Emily's favorite, Walter Matthau! Could you imagine these two making a movie together?! #filmsky
