About this listen
This week on The 3 Retro Movie Geeks, things get stylishly surreal as we revisit the 80s rom-com fantasy Mannequin. With Paul and Scott both away, Rob is holding things together — thankfully joined by friend of the show Marc “Wax on, wax off” Parslow for a lively and nostalgic deep dive.
We explore the quirky tale of Jonathan Switcher, a struggling artist who finds love in the most unexpected way… with a department store mannequin who comes to life. From Andrew McCarthy’s earnest charm to Kim Cattrall’s iconic performance as Emmy, we break down what makes this film such a unique entry in 80s cinema.
Of course, no Mannequin discussion would be complete without celebrating Hollywood Montrose — Meshach Taylor’s scene-stealing performance — and that unforgettable Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now soundtrack moment that defined a generation.
