Sam Clements is curating a fictional film festival. He'll accept almost anything, but the movie must not be longer than 90 minutes. This is the 90 Minutes Or Less Film Fest podcast.

Episode 152 is a special live episode, and Sam is joined by comedian, actor, and writer Rose Matafeo. Recorded at Monkey Barrel Comedy at the Edinburgh International Film Festival 2025. 

Rose has chosen Mannequin (90 mins). Released in 1987 and directed by Michael Gottlieb, the romantic comedy stars Kim Cattrall, Andrew McCarthy, James Spader, and Meshach Taylor. 

Sam and Rose discuss what it's like to be a comedian at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, how Rose discovered Mannequin, and how the film's animated title sequence does a lot of heavy lifting for the plot.
