Today we watched director Billy Wilder's 1959 hit Some Like It Hot, winner of 11 Academy Awards. Our feelings are... complicated. But for a movie with cross-dressing, produced in compliance with the Hays Code's absurd limitations, it is actually pretty cool.

Marilyn Monroe's character gave off "Born Sexy Yesterday" vibes. Pop Culture Detective coined the phrase for characters like The Fifth Element's Leeloo; learn more here!

In 2023, J. Harrison Ghee won a Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Musical for their performance in the Broadway musical, the second out nonbinary actor to win the award. (Mere MINUTES after Alex Newell, the first out nonbinary Tony winner. So close!) I know what you're thinking-- Best Actor? Nonbinary person? Well, there is a larger conversation happening about gendered award categories for major performance awards. Maybe we'll see some changes in the future.
