It's time for our first ever Obscure Movie of the Month bonus ep, and boy is this one a doozy! Ever wonder if you're not who you think you are? That you might have actually been kidnapped from a shoe store by a cult member and then raised by her rich-ass parents as a whole other person? Then you would get along great with Janey, the red-headed, Souvlaki-hating heroine of today's movie, THE FACE ON THE MILK CARTON!
