When did the word “gaslight” change from a noun to a verb? There for a while, it seemed everyone was trying to “gaslight” someone else–at least according to all the chatter on social media. Jennifer's not entirely sure people really knew what that meant–and she's extremely sure a lot of people didn’t know where the term came from. Well, guess what? It’s a reference to tonight’s featured film from 1944, Gaslight. She'll set the record straight on gaslighting tonight—and more importantly, she’ll walk through the story told through this famous film.
Then, on a completely unrelated note, Jennifer will give an informative report on her garage sale. It’s over now. How did she do? What sold? What didn’t even get a second look? And now that she's cleared her house of a lot of stuff, should Jennifer start filling it up again with a new collection? Help Jennifer talk herself out of that, will you? Tonight on the Vintage Century Idle Hour.
