We finally watched Mannequin! Man, has this 1987 CLASSIC been tough to find but the Egyptian gods were on our side this week (also known as HBO Max) and we were able to view this kooky movie about a Jonathan Switcher, a struggling artist who can't hold down a decent job! However, turns out this mannequin he sculpted (?) is actually a hot Egyptian woman named Emmy who is traveling through time looking for the love of her life! Funny thing is, only Jonathan can see her alive. Jonathan and Emmy get into some hijinks, there's a great silly montage, and they also create really cool window displays for the department store Emmy's mannequin self models in.  Rival department store and Jonathan's ex girlfriend get jealous, Emmy almost gets chopped to bits. Oops, did I say too much? This movie is peak 80s hilarity, but also somewhat heart warming if you toss aside all the female objectivity and sexual harrassment as a cool, funny joke! We talk about how mannequins are really hard to come by these days, our fond memories when department stores were queen, and how Kim Cattrall kills it in whatever she does.
