The cult film that is like a middle finger to the feel-good vibes of corny 1980s teen movies, satirical Heathers is a masterclass in dialogue and slightly surreal.
More for adults than adolescents, the movie exposes the true underbelly of high school social games. And instead of tickling that belly, well, it pokes it.
Starring a very young Winona Ryder and Christian Slater, join me for this discussion of a highly quotable and sharp-witted film that still endures as a classic.
I'll discuss what makes it worth your time and the film's lasting legacy on teen genre films.
