Ok so yeah, this is an obvious Heather choice. Yeah, but this movie was revolutionary for its time, depicting an astonishing (gasp) reversal of gender roles with elements of campy fantasy and 80’s hijinks thrown in. Did we mention it also stars Terri Garr?

This is the first movie in which Michael Keaton carries top billing and his natural comedic talents shine as he foibles the unknown gendered world of unpaid maternal labor AKA: The Housewife. Don’t worry, he eventually reclaims his alpha throne and his wife heads back into the monotonous domestic terrain at the end, so rest easy. They did it for America, and Schooner Tuna.

Join us as we excavate another early 80’s John Hughes classic, Mr. Mom.
