Author Tom Santopietro, the man behind Why To Kill a Mockingbird Matters, sits down with the Ticklish crew to discuss Robert Mulligan's 1962 adaptation of Harper Lee's classic. The group discusses Gregory Peck's career-defining role as Atticus Finch, the way the movie gives us the children's POV, and why the sequel novel isn't necessarily worth reading.
Also, listen all the way to the end as we're giving a bite-sized sneak peek of our interview with Jean Louise "Scout" Finch herself, actress Mary Badham which you can listen to exclusively on Patreon with a full transcript at TicklishBiz.com.

A last-minute change in the schedule saw us transition our Doubled Features ep on Nightmare Alley into our main episode. The Ticklish Trio discuss the dueling versions of the film, why Tyrone Power worked so well and Bradley Cooper doesn't, and why Cate Blanchett could be in either movie. Which one do you prefer?

Two episodes in two weeks? What's going on? Well, when Bridesmaids and A Simple Favor director Paul Feig wants to talk Peter Bogdanovich you don't pass up the opportunity. Paul sits down with to talk about the 1972 comedy What's Up Doc? and much like a Bogdanovich film itself the conversation veers towards Feig's filmic influences, his love of Bogdanovich, and studying under classic film greats!
