Kristen is back to flying solo and she didn't burn the joint down!
We're celebrating the life and career of the great Diane Keaton, looking at her career-changing performance in 1987's Baby Boom. Joining Kristen is James Spader superfan and '80s lover, Kate Hagen! Kate and Kristen talk about women of the '80s, the Charles Shyer/Nancy Meyers ouevre, and Diane Keaton's best moments in this movie.

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.
