Show Notes
Your eyes don't deceive you! Ticklish Business is back, kinda. Kristen sits down with author Mayukh Sen to talk all about Merle Oberon, the subject of Sen's latest book, Love, Queenie: Merle Oberon, Hollywood's First South Asian Star. Sen breaks down the stereotypes about Oberon he wanted to dispel and how she was able to rise above Hollywood racism.
We appreciate everyone continuing to support us, as either a Patron or listener. Emily and I are working on doing the show monthly for now as we finish up our books. So definitely be on the lookout for some TCMFF goodness come April.

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.
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.
