A witty, liberating romp about self-acceptance, the power of female solidarity, and the bravery it takes to strip down—emotionally and yes, literally. Six women from wildly different backgrounds sign up for a confidence-boosting pole dance class.

A bold idea sets them on a charity mission that means shedding inhibitions—and clothes.

From clay statuettes to a global TV spectacle: songs, stories, and images chart the rollercoaster history of the Academy Awards. In 1929, 15 nameless trophies, no media, winners informed in advance; by 1931 the name Oscar arrived, 1953 brought TV, 1966 added color. Who remembers the beginnings, the hundreds of honorees, the near-misses? They sift through 90 years with music and memories.

Linda’s over her 17-year marriage, suburban life, and her looming 40s—mostly, she’s over George. He’s fine with the status quo until he falls asleep during lovemaking.
