How to Beat the High Cost of Living
1980
Eugene, Oregon
Robert Scheerer
Comedy Heist
What’s it all about: “refreshing drop of acid” Jane Curtin swears like a sailor, sells her husband’s deodorant at a yard sale and pulls off a love scene with a bun. Jessica Lange and Susan Saint James are there too.
First Encounter: at the movies in childhood; Candotti’s first viewing
Prostitute Index: Low (they think about it)
Death By: inflation
Relics: fridge magnets, answering machine, Hi-C; mork-and-mindy ski vest, big brown sedan, shopping mall, cents
Heartthrobs: Jane Curtin, Garrett Morris
LoFi Magic: striptease body double, garage door busting, a rat that looks like a chinchilla
Makes me want to: call @colinjost an ignorant slut and see if he gets it
Candotti take: Very good. What was the meaning of that movie?
Worth a watch/rewatch: Yes
