#126: Sexiest Classic Film Stars

The Ticklish trio initially meant to save this for Valentine's day but a last-minute change in the schedule means we're doing this one early, and is it a doozy! We've introduced the word "thirst" into classic film and now we're talking about the stars that brought sexiness to the world of black and white and Technicolor.
 
Whether it's Gene Kelly being forward with a phone or Fred and Ginger dancing, some stars just made us sweat. We talk about the sexiest classic film stars, share some unconventional choices, and play some games!

Based on a True Podcast: Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019)

The Ticklish Trio is on hiatus till January, so we're opening our Patreon vault for the holidays. This summer we released a series looking at the Manson crimes in media, and we brought it all home with a discussion on Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. 
Kimberly and Kristen connect all the preceding movies back to Tarantino's tribute to the late-1960s. They also discuss whether this movie also employs Tate-sploitation, why revisionist history doesn't work here, and more.
Ticklish Business returns with all new episodes January 12.
