Episode 2 – "Mannequin": Love, Lust & Late Capitalism (But Mostly Mannequins)
💋🎬💀
In this episode of So I Married a Millennial, Jeremy forces Lauren to watch the 1987 cult-classic(?) Mannequin, a movie about love, ancient Egyptian curses, department store espionage, and definitely a man getting way too friendly with a storefront dummy.
We dive into the questionable casting of Kim Cattrall as an ancient Egyptian time traveler, the unapologetic fabulousness of Hollywood Montrose, and the very real possibility that the director was, uh, inspired by a little too much time in a Macy’s stockroom.
Featuring:
🛍️ ’80s fashion montage breakdowns
🎶 The power ballad that somehow got an Oscar nod
🐶 The bulldog that was wrongly labeled a pug (Lauren is still mad)
🔥 Hot takes on mannequin-consensual relationships
