• 215. Born Yesterday (1950 with Nell Minow) - Films of Resistance Series

  Viva la resistance! Over the next four episodes we'll be looking at how Old Hollywood talks about politics, independence and democracy starting with this George Cukor comedy.  Born Yesterday isn't a movie associated with any political group, but it celebrates the joys of being an informed person and our country's history of freedom. Plus, Judy Holliday is perfect and Bill Holden looks hot in glasses. Washington D.C. critic Nell Minow joins Kristen and Emily to talk about it all. Next Time: We're dropping the bomb with 1964's Dr. Strangelove. Be sure to follow us via social media at @ticklish_biz on X and @ticklishbiz everywhere else.
