Three original stories inspired by classic cinema. If you liked the movie, you'll love its Cinspiration. THE WORST OF EVERYTHING was inspired by the 1959 film "the Best of Everything" starring Hope Lange and Suzy Parker. In 1962, that quaint time of polio, carbon paper, and the Constitutional right to an attorney, Junemarie leaves the farm for Manhattan to become a career girl-and to find a husband. Along with being an oblivious racist and xenophobe, she's not the sharpest knife in the drawer and doesn't know the meaning of the word surrender, despite being an assistant editor in a prestigious publishing house. Her pursuit of handsome Ken Davenport is so relentless she's not deterred by her own acrophobia and the calamities to the city's tall buildings that season, including a tornado strike, towering inferno, defenestration, rooftop decapitation, and elevator mutilation. She learns about free love, beatniks, jazz, and psychoanalysis, attends the celebrated Leprosy Charity Ball, and pens her own space-age novel. The shocking secrets of a hard-boiled veteran editor, peculiar co-worker, and her beloved Ken are revealed, along with her own closet's skeletons. Can Junemarie conquer the dizzying heights of modern Manhattan, especially when the worst of everything is within herself? BUDDY, LADIES' MAN was inspired by the 2000 film "The Ladies Man" starring Tim Meadows and Karyn Parsons. Simpleton Buddy Pangborn has a way with the ladies, an odd way, but a way nonetheless. When he captures the heart of mall cop Rosette and she captures his, the next step is to introduce her to his mother-who introduces the young woman to the legend of Bloodside Manor. Set in 1991, Buddy, Ladies' Man returns us to those mall days before internet shopping, back when both sales clerks and the ladies could snub you to your face. CORKY VAN WINKLE, CUB REPORTER was inspired by the 1939 film "Nancy Drew...Reporter" starring Bonita Granville and John Litel. Corky breaks a glass ceiling by becoming the city newspaper's first female cub reporter. But she has a bigger dream-to become a famous newsmodel on teevee. First, however, she has to make a name for herself by solving a high-profile jewelry theft case. She interviews a collection of disparate characters, but which one will lead her to Dame Headsley's missing Magenta Pink diamond necklace? Rewind to 1988, when good looks could take you further than brains. Well, actually, that's still true.
