It's Kristen's birthday and you might be saying, "What musical or costume drama are you picking this year?" Nope, this year I'm all about fast cars, the streets of San Francisco and hanging out with the King of Cool, Steve McQueen, in 1968's Bullitt. And joining me on this cinematic road trip is McQueen biographer Marshall Terrill.

Terrill and I talk about how this was McQueen's highest high, and led to his lowest lows. We also discuss the infamous car chase which makes no geographic sense. And how the city of San Francisco looks today just like it did in 1968.

Robert Redford is our August birthday boy and with his passing in September it seemed the perfect time to do a proper Redford Top 3. Longtime Ticklish Biz guest Adam Kautzer joins me to give our lists as well as lay out why Redford changed the movie biz forever.

We also discuss '70s cinema, why Downhill Racer deserves to be in the same category as Rocky, and why some of the biggest Redford movies might not be making an appearance.

We're pulling a heist in this week's episode. An art heist! YouTube essayist and critic Princess Weekes joins Kristen to talk Audrey Hepburn and Peter O'Toole in William Wyler's How to Steal a Million.

The duo talk about this being a game changer for both Hepburn and O'Toole (as well as being the beginning of the end for Wyler). They also analyze Hepburn's change in looks, and even get to briefly talk Trouble in Paradise.
