Alli and Nat dive into Billy Wilder's surprisingly fresh 1959 screwball comedy Some Like It Hot, starring Tony Curtis, Marilyn Monroe, and Jack Lemmon. How does the 62-year-old film hold up to modern standards of gender expression, sexual orientation, and horniness? How does Some Like It Hot fit in among cross-dressing classics like Twelfth Night and Victor/Victoria? Will Nat convince Alli to watch The Apartment by the end of this podcast?

Nat and Alli sit down to discuss Céline Sciamma's 2019 romance, Portrait of a Lady on Fire. Critics and viewers often refer to PoaLoF as a "lesbian love story," but how does Marianne's implied bisexuality play into the film? How does the movie grapple with capital-t-Themes like Art, Love, and Memory, while still grounding itself in Marianne and Héloïse's love affair? How many times will Nat whine that this movie is "so f***ing gooooOOOooood?"

Nat and Alli kick off the world's first bicoastal, biweekly, bisexual podcast with a conversation about The Talented Mr. Ripley. How does the title character's bisexuality play into his murderous instability? How does the director frame queerness? How many goddamn young, A-list celebrities can they jam into this goddamn movie???
