Do You Even Binge? - Ep 65
This week, we take a look at Bully Movies and explore the films, characters, behind the scenes facts, and unforgettable stories about navigating bullies and bad seeds.
The Lineup: Bully (2001):
Directed by Larry Clark. Mostly based on a true story, a group of teens conspire to murder a member of their friend group who has been an abusive asshole to all of them.
Three O’Clock High (1987):
Movie takes place in one school day – a mild mannered high school student Jerry Mitchell meets the legendary & mysterious bad boy Buddy Revell and makes the mistake of accidentally touching him, which leads Buddy to challenge Jerry to a fight after school.
My Bodyguard (1980):
Chris Makepeace plays Clifford Peache who enrolls in a new high school and is harassed by a bully named Moody (played by Matt Dillon). He makes an offer to the school’s most feared student, Ricky Linderman, to be his bodyguard.
Tuff Turf (1985):
James Spader plays Morgan, a teenager from Connecticut who moves to L.A. with his family after their family business goes broke. He struggles to make friends (except for Robert Downey Jr who plays a sort of new wave student who is also in a band). Morgan was bullied back in CT, but also gets bullied on a more serious level in L.A. after he makes a move on Frankie, a “tough girl” and girlfriend of Nick, the leader of the “Tuffs”, a local gang.
Welcome to the Dollhouse (1995):
Directed by Todd Solondz. Heather Matarazzo stars as 12 yr old Dawn Wiener, a shy and unpopular 7th grader living in suburban NJ. The movie focuses on how much of an outcast Dawn is – not just socially among other kids, but also within her own family. She’s clearly the least favorite.
