Welcome to another episode of Myopia Movies, where we ruin your childhood one VHS tape at a time. This week, we're stepping into the neon-lit fever dream that is Mannequin — a movie that asks the important question: “What if a department store mannequin came to life… and immediately dated Andrew McCarthy?” That's right. It's the ‘80s, where unemployment was quirky, retail workers had unlimited creative freedom, and absolutely nobody thought to question whether this relationship required psychiatric intervention. Featuring window displays that apparently stop traffic, villainous retail executives who behave like cartoon burglars, and enough synth music to power a mall arcade for a decade, Mannequin is pure Reagan-era fantasy. We'll talk about Kim Cattrall somehow making “ancient Egyptian soul trapped in a mannequin” feel completely reasonable, why every department store in movies looked like Studio 54, and whether Hollywood accidentally created the world's most charming horror premise. Plus: Hollywood Montrose steals the entire movie, James Spader continues his career-long commitment to being a smarmy weirdo, and we try to determine if this film is actually sweet… or just deeply, deeply strange. So grab your shoulder pads, crank up Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now, and join us as we ask the timeless question: does Mannequin hold up… or should it have stayed in the display window? How will Mannequin hold up? Directed by Michael Gottlieb Starring: Andrew McCarthy Kim Cattrall Meshach Taylor James Spader G. W. Bailey Estelle Getty

What happens when a Hollywood icon hits the road to rediscover the lost art of male friendship? Brat Pack star turned author Andrew McCarthy joins host Donny Deutsch for a candid, eye-opening conversation about his new book, "Who Needs Friends? An Unscientific Examination of Male Friendship Across America." Andrew's cross-country journey to reconnect with old friends revealed a surprising truth: men are facing a loneliness epidemic — and most don't even know it. From the myths of toxic masculinity to the power of vulnerability, and the role technology plays in eroding real human connection, this conversation unpacks why so many men struggle to form and keep meaningful friendships. Packed with personal stories and a powerful call to embrace vulnerability, this episode is essential listening for any man who wants deeper, more authentic connections in his life. Be sure to check out the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠On Brand with Donny Deutsch YouTube page⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. Takeaways: Andrew's journey to reconnect with friends was sparked by a conversation with his son. Many men feel isolated and rely on their wives to manage social lives. Vulnerability is often seen as a weakness in men, hindering friendships. Friendships require active effort and vulnerability to flourish. Loneliness among men is a significant issue, often exacerbated by technology. Older men are less likely to admit feelings of loneliness compared to younger men. Social interaction is crucial for mental and physical health. Friendship can be a source of safety and emotional support. Men often struggle with maintaining female friendships due to societal norms. Rekindling friendships can lead to deeper appreciation and connection. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

About Who Needs Friends “You don't really have any friends, do you, Dad?”   A seemingly innocuous, if direct, question from Andrew McCarthy's son left him reeling. McCarthy did have friends. Yet, like so many other men, the necessities of modern adult life had forced his friendships to the background. At one point his friends had been instrumental in broadening his horizons, bolstering his courage, providing safe harbor. Now, McCarthy found himself questioning what had happened to those friendships. Whether he needed them, what he valued, and what he had to offer. A simple question had become a moment that demanded a reckoning.  About The Art of Fatherhood Podcast  The Art of Fatherhood Podcast follows the journey of fatherhood.

Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down the Pentagon's escalating showdown with Anthropic, as the Pentagon threatens to cut ties or invoke the Defense Production Act while new war-game research from King's College London shows models from OpenAI, Google, and others recommending nuclear use far more often than humans, alongside a viral video of Sam Altman. They analyze Donald Trump's State of the Union theatrics on the economy and culture wars, the “two-tier economy” warning from McDonald's's CEO, his use of the gallery for viral moments on immigration and trans issues, and stark rhetoric from Mike Johnson. Kander and Gupta also dive into the Epstein files, with NPR reporting missing Trump documents, arrests in the U.K. of Prince Andrew and Peter Mandelson, and renewed questions about why there's no U.S. accountability. Plus, they discuss the tariff decision and the fallout from attacks on the Supreme Court, including warnings from National Review's Andrew McCarthy, an ICE training whistleblower, flight delays tied to Kash Patel that Dick Durbin says hampered the FBI, a youth surge for James Fishback in Florida, and House leadership refusing to call on Tony Gonzales to resign.
