b'Breaking news: Rusty\'s in a movie, y\'all! Jody and Alison cover chapters 4-5 of Norma Klein\'s 1981 YA novel "Domestic Arrangements," where fourteen-year-old Tatiana (aka Rusty) has lots of mediocre sex with her boyfriend, attends\\xa0a bizarre giant penis photography show with Daddy, and is going to be the star in a new Columbia Pictures movie. She will appear nude in said\\xa0movie. WTF?! Along with the usual dramatic readings and chapter summaries, Alison and Jody chat about San Francisco\'s world class public transit system, classic films, and a mini-Special Report on VCRs.
