Episode Synopsis "Episode 1 - Jeff Downey"
Episode 1 is the story of Jeff Downey, a 22 year old kid from Harrisburg, PA, and takes place during March of 1992. Based on the answering machine messages compiled on him, Downey was a rebellious sort, as he possibly may have burned down the pizza place he worked at, which at the time was known as Moose-olini’s Pizza, a popular pizza chain in the tri-state area, renowned for its mascot, an animated, pizza-craving moose named Bennie the Moose (it is rumored that actor Joe Pesci provided the voice). Also, his mother is afraid that he is a heroin addict, his girlfriend thinks his punk band, Pokey, is trying too hard to sound like Operation Ivy, and the manager of the local video store is looking for Downey’s overdue rentals of such classics as Dolph Lundgren’s I Come in Peace and Martin Lawrence’s Talkin’ Dirty After Dark. Also, the Columbia House Record Club is going to take legal action for Downey’s nasty letter in response to receiving a cassette from early 90’s one hit wonders EMF.
