Ep 3.30 - The Pick Up Artist [Keith Bday Pick #3]

Hello, young lovers!

We bring you a tale as old as time: a young Lothario catches feelings for the first conquest of his that he respects. Meanwhile her dad is a gambler indebted to a mafioso who attempts to leverage the situation to pimp her out to a South American drug lord with whom he's trying to secure a deal. Naturally, they all end up in Atlantic City, one of them with a shirt that never dries.  

Shakespearean, really. 

It's The Pick Up Artist (1987) starring brat pack alum Molly Ringwald and Robert Downey, Jr. and a host of (now) familiar faces.  

And surprise, surprise-- we get into the politics of casual sex.  Considered yourself warned: we talk about non/consent, BDSM, and pornography, among other busty substances.
