What the HECK was she watching on TV?


Remember the scene in the movie when she's watching TV, and there's this woman dancing in a REALLY WEIRD outfit with hands on it, and there's this strange music singing "keep your hands off her.."

WTF WAS THAT!!??!! I only saw this movie once, like 20 years ago, and that + the scene when she pulls the book out of the woman's bag are the only two scenes I remember.

A public access cable TV show - many of which are very odd. Probably more so in New York. The segment was of a performance artist. Whose acts can be odd, too.

They discuss this in the scene where they are making their work schedule for the bookstore. Hyde-Pierce's character complains that the have to adjust for Chichilia's (sp?) involvement in the show.

You just have to be resigned-
You're crashing by design

Pat Olesko--performance artist.

Didn't you recognize the actress or the name of her character in the TV show. She says it clearly.

You must be one of those millennials who have attention spans of gnats. Jesus!

Her co-worker as the host of the show, the one who made fun of her hat.
