It's another Host's Choice episode and Chance decided to throw it WAY back with 1959's Some Like It Hot. Directed by the great Billy Wilder this film is regarded as not only one of the great comedies but one of the greatest films of all time. AFI ranked it at 22 on their Top 100 Movies and all the way at NUMBER 1 on their Top 100 Comedies. So wat about this film has stood to make generations laugh for over 60 years? That's what we're here to discuss.

What do you associate with summer? Of course Al Pacino screaming at you to SIT DOWN! Heat is considered to be a quintessential film of the 1990's.

So what makes this film such a cornerstone in the crime genre? We find out!

ACTION STAR SUMMER CONTINUES!!! After Schwarzenegger it's time to look at the other biggest action star of the 1980's Sylvester Stallone, and we are of course looking at the movie that put him on the action map First Blood!

Our discussion on Avatar: The Way of Water last week inspired the theme of this week's episode "Sequels That Came Out TOO Late" and that is the epitome of the term Independence Day: Resurgence.

Why is it something that was such a hit in 96 failed to click with a modern day audience? That's what we're here to find out. We talk the movie plus latest trailers like Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part 1, latest news like all the stuff coming out from Star Wars Celebration, and more right here on Notorious by Chance.
