Ep. 48 - Some Like It Hot (1959): Nobody's Perfect

When two male musicians (Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon) witness a mob hit, they flee the state in an all-female band disguised as women, but further complications set in as one musician begins to fall in love with one of the bands lead attractions (Marylin Monroe).

Noah and Jonesy take a peek at Billy Wilder's 1959 Hollywood satirical farce, Some Like It Hot! The guys examine how Wilder is able to hide bold sexual symbolism in plain view, Marylin Monroe's eccentric personality and the difficulties it created for the production. Known as one of the most enduring treasures of movie history, this is a film all about sex, yet, Wilder finds a way to fill the story with an overflow of heart and charm. However, the true question stands... Does this film still hold up today? Is it truly one of the greatest every made? We'll be the judge of that.
