Episode 231 - Some Like it Hot
Tuesday, 24 March, 2026
Oz and Curtis are strapping on the girdles, grabbin' their saxophones, and hopping the train to Florida to break down the undisputed heavyweight champion of Classic Comedy: Some Like It Hot!After witnessing the St. Valentine's Day Massacre, two struggling jazz musicians—Joe (Tony Curtis) and Jerry (Jack Lemmon)—need to get out of Chicago fast. Their only ticket out? Disguising themselves as "Josephine" and "Daphne" to join an all-female band heading south. Things get complicated when they both fall for the band's ukulele-playing singer, Sugar Kane (Marilyn Monroe), while Jerry (as Daphne) finds himself pursued by an eccentric millionaire who won't take "I'm a man" for an answer.We break down the film’s bulletproof brilliance: Billy Wilder’s razor-sharp direction, the incredible physical comedy of Jack Lemmon, the surprisingly bold (for 1959) playfulness with Gender-Bending tropes, and the sheer incandescent glow of Marilyn Monroe. Is Some Like It Hot the funniest movie ever put to film and a definitive AFI Top 100 essential, or just a movie that proves that life is always better when you're playing the bull fiddle?
