"Do you think your period could have caused the rain?"
"Is it true that meat spoils in the presence of a menstruating woman?"
"You can't go swimming; you're having your period."
These misconceptions and more are addressed in 1974's Linda's Film on Menstruation, starring actor Jonathan Banks. Even playing a confused teenager, Banks brings the same engaging, soft-spoken irascibility that he does as Mike Ehrmantraut in Breaking Bad. At any moment, he might take a life. This time, though, Banks' quest begins when his girlfriend tells him that blood is coming out of her uterus. He is so stricken that he cannot continue bowling.
Fortunately, a stranger in dark glasses overhears and begins explaining.
