In this weeks episode Averyn and Vonia flip the script! Averyn picks the crime and Vonia has to find a Rom Com to pair with it. So we begin with story of the horrible and mysterious death of 24 year old Australian, Phoebe Handsjuk. On The night of Dec. 2 2010 Phoebe’s body was discovered in the garbage room of the luxury apartment building where she lived with her boyfriend Ant Hempel. Phoebe fell feet first down 12 flights in the garbage chute before being thrown out of the trash compactor into a trash bin. Phoebe miraculously survived this fall but died shortly after from blood loss due to her injuries. Police immediately assume suicide. The coroner rules it an accident. But her family isn’t buying it. If Phoebe got into the chute herself why aren’t there any of her finger prints on or around the garbage chute. If it was a horrible alcohol and sleeping pill induced accident why were all of Phoebe’s emails deleted before police bothered to look for evidence there. If it isn’t foul play then why did another one of Ant’s girlfriends end up dead under mysterious circumstances 8 years later?

Then Vonia covers the 80s Rom Com flop, Mannequin. This is a story about a man besotted by his own creation. When a struggling artist discovers the mannequin he made comes alive at night he quickly falls in love with her. The two save the department store where the mannequin lives from certain closure all while those around him question his sanity. This movie might not be great and it might often border on offensive in its portrayal of certain characters but it did give us one glorious gift… the Starship song ‘Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now’ was written specifically for the movie Mannequin.
