Modern Living & You!
No need for fright when you learn to do it right!
A promotional short for the feature film "Roach Motel". The short film "Modern Living and You!" satirizes "Red Scare" era instructional shorts, while the time period itself is up in the air and left ambiguous. The short follows "Your Neighbor Margie" at the hands of a ruthless, demanding, and godlike narrator, as he puts her on display and on the spot, asking her questions, that he himself may not even know the answers to.
