Show Notes
We all made it to the end of 2025! This podcast did a lot to keep me sane this year. Chatting with Emily about these movies has meant a lot, and the fact that many of you stuck around for our hiatus...I can't say what it means to us.
As we prep for the new year we're doing an old standard: a top 5 on our favorite Christmas movies. We share the ones that make us think of the holiday season, and one pick from Emily shocks Kristen! We also read several of your favorites that you submitted.
We wish you all a safe and happy holiday and New Year! We'll be back on January 21st with all new episodes and ready to have the best 2026 ever. See you then.

Missed this year's TCM Classic Film Festival? Or do you just want to relive some great moments from this year's event? Well, Ticklish Biz has you covered starting with one of the hottest tickets at this year's festival: Ben Mankiewicz's conversation with Carol Burnett. Burnett talks about her career in show business and more.
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.
