Last year we had plans to honor our final Centennial Celebrant, Jeff Chandler. But due to Kristen's move and the holidays it didn't happen as planned but we still wanted to honor him! So Samantha and Kristen sat down to discuss 1955's Fox Fire. We talk about feminism, the representation of Native Americans, and whether Jane Russell's pixie cut is a good look or not.

The Ticklish Trio honor Kristen's deceased obsession, John Garfield, on his birthday by talking about the 1946 noir The Postman Always Rings Twice. Come for the salaciousness and stay for our talk about plot shenanigans, Sam's optimism, and Kristen making inappropriate comments.
Next Time: TCM is all about March Madness so we are too. We talk about Fredric March and 1931's Jekyll and Hyde.

Drea, Sam, and I are looking at the classic film Oscar snubs we're still upset by. We laugh, we argue, and I might offend Luise Rainer fans.
NEXT TIME: It's John Garfield's birthday and you know Kristen had to do a tribute. The movie will be decided on by the fans so be sure to look for a special poll to cast your vote.
