In an era of shameless, unnecessary, and unsolicited remakes, Some Like It Hot remains untouched, despite a premise that seems like low-hanging fruit for any producer seeking to explore gender-related issues. Mike and Dan talk about why Billy Wilder's 1959 comedy remains unremade and the brilliance of its three leads: Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon, and Marilyn Monroe. Sigmund Freud and Wile E. Coyote sneak into the conversation. So hop in that dress, watch out for the gangster popping out of the cake, and give it a listen! We can make Manhattans!
