DVD Savant Review: The Atomic Cafe, 20th Anniversary Edition

Atomic Cafe, The (1982)

Peter's Nite
Salad, Pizza, "Homemade" Brownies

Much discussion of Stuart's new car -- 18 months of thinking and talking and he's about to buy a "Touage" -- yes, that's right a TOUAREG. But... what color?

Also Peter sold his series pitch to HBO. Much rejoicing.
