Every once in a while, a Lifetime movie comes along that is bursting with talent, humor, and the bold fashion choices of the late 80’s. When that happens, you grab that movie; you cuddle it, feed it, and love it, because you never know when it’ll happen again. HOW TO MURDER A MILLIONAIRE (1990), starring Joan Rivers, Alex Rocco, Morgan Fairchild, and David Ogden Stiers, is that movie. Get ready for enough madcap mishaps and witty one-liners to fill your heart with song, even in today’s desolate climate. Joan Rivers shines as Irma Summers, a wealthy socialite who believes that her husband of thirty years, Walter (Rocco), is trying to murder her. Her suspicion sends her on a humbling voyage of escape, disguise, and ultimately, self-discovery.
We also reminisce about the good ol’ days when it was so much easier to commit crimes, discuss why the glory hole has gone the way of the phone booth, and learn why Rachel is no longer allowed in Bono’s powder room. Also, Zach gives us a brief update on the Red Alert RESTART movement; for more information on this call to assist the events industry during this pandemic, please listen to our Angels’ Share minisode from September 1st or visit www.wemakeevents.org.
This movie is available to view on Amazon Prime, Tubi, Pluto TV, and the Lifetime Movie Network app.
