GEE Movie Club for January 2022: MANNEQUIN
Added 2022-01-07 05:58:12 +0000 UTCLet’s face it: We could all use a little more Kim Cattrall right now. Well, we're going what we can to help these Cattrall-less times my picking MANNEQUIN, the 1987 magic romcom about a man who falls in love with a plastic facsimile of a woman!
MANNEQUIN is currently not streaming anywhere in the U.S., so we ahead and made a secret, Patreon-only posting of the movie in full here.

This movie is very 80s but also might spark some debate about the portrayal of women in the romance genre, in this decade and beyond.
Discussion prompts:
Were you aware of Kim Cattrall before she became a household name with Sex and the City? What did you know her from?
Did this movie contribute to you thinking Meshach Taylor was gay?
You've heard Kim Cattrall scatting, right?
As always, post any questions and comments on this post, and we'll respond to them when we do our Movie Club episode at the end of the month.

If you worked in a department store and a male mannequin came alive when it was just the two of you, would you have a go at crafting a relationship? Or would it be more of a work-friends-only sort of thing?
