Paid in Puke S8E7: Making Mr. Right

On series 8, episode 7 of Paid in Puke, we’re thrilled to bring you
this deep cut gem from 1987: “Making Mr. Right”. Susan Seidelman’s
retro-futurism genre bender stars the incomparable Ann Magnuson, as
well as Glenne Headly, and Laurie Melcalf. We were lucky enough to
snag Ann for an interview!   We discuss pop culture’s timeless
obsession with A.I.. This movie presents so many themes that were
later explored in more serious properties like “Her”, “Ex Machina”,
and “Westworld”. It also depicts a rare character in cinema
(especially in 1987): a nuanced working woman who isn’t driven by
her need to find and keep a man. The film is also stylish,
hilarious, and truly unique!   Throughout our discussion, we
include clips from our interview with Ann, who discusses working in
Miami, bringing her prodigious London and NYC underground
experience to a Hollywood rom com, and why the time is right for a
film that celebrates good will and charm.   Listen to the
entire interview in our bonus episode and buy the special edition
blu-ray of Making Mr. Right - out now, including commentary from
Seidelman and Magnuson!   Ann Magnuson on instragram Ann
Magnuson’s website/store (including SIGNED Making Mr. Right
blu-rays)! Clips from Ann’s incredible interpretation of David
Bowie’s “Moonage Daydream” peppered throughout
