Vintage Century Idle Hour
Hi, there. Jennifer here. This show is about old movies and stuff. It's the cure insomniacs have been begging for, and the virtual companion for those who are really bored at work. Take it from my mom: "This is incontrovertibly the best podcast the world has ever known."

He Tried to Gaslight Her...and Did
When did the word “gaslight” change from a noun to a verb? There for a while, it seemed everyone was trying to “gaslight” someone else–at least according to all the chatter on social media. Jennifer's not entirely sure people really knew what that meant–and she's extremely sure a lot of people didn’t know where the term came from. Well, guess what? It’s a reference to tonight’s featured film from 1944, Gaslight. She'll set the record straight on gaslighting tonight—and more importantly, she’ll walk through the story told through this famous film.
Then, on a completely unrelated note, Jennifer will give an informative report on her garage sale. It’s over now. How did she do? What sold? What didn’t even get a second look? And now that she's cleared her house of a lot of stuff, should Jennifer start filling it up again with a new collection? Help Jennifer talk herself out of that, will you? Tonight on the Vintage Century Idle Hour.
