In Minute 88 of The Whole Shebang, Mike and Jenny are joined by fancy guest Jen Melchert to discuss: the beginning of Brian and Mandy’s final argument and the Mystery Moose hovering over this scene, about how in Britain if you run out of tea, you are obligated to offer your guests cocaine, Brian’s decision to stage his downfall at the office and not his own home, how this scene with Mandy serving Brian papers is based on a specific incident from Angie and David Bowie’s tumultuous marriage, and how Mandy and Brian’s split highlights some of the decadence of the late ‘70s. And then Jen talks a little about how she discovered the movie, how it intersects with her own early 20s, her Bowie fandom, and her love of fandom and fanfic in general.
