We revisit the brilliant, still-vital "Heathers", THE definitive American High School movie, whose biting satire only barely covers the sensitive, beating, romantic heart that lies within. Featuring star-making performances from Christian Slater and a 16-year-old Winona Ryder, "Heathers" is a dark, pulls-no-punches social satire that aims arrows in every direction, including at the misguided teenage hearts and minds populating the hallways and leafy subdivisions of Sherwood, Ohio's Westerberg High School. We dive down the FCAC rabbit hole's of Slater, Ryder, we discuss the sad and tragic deaths of a couple of key cast members. ALSO: Syd Straw, Sly Stone, Rants n Raves, Headlines, and the debut of THIS WEEK IN TV GUIDE, our dynamic not-at-all fusty segment where we read unintentionally hilarious tv guide show descriptions from the 1980's, in which we hit Via Allegre, a horror anthology about cats, Gilligan's Island, and the mystery of the Garfield Phones.
