Join Dana Buckler and David Klein for an in-depth discussion about the iconic 1989 black comedy, Heathers. We go beyond the croquet mallets and shoulder pads to explore the film's cynical look at high school cliques and social hierarchies.

In this episode, we unpack:

• The brilliant performances from Winona Ryder as Veronica and Christian Slater as the chaotic J.D.
  
  
• How Heathers subverted the popular John Hughes teen movie formula of the era.
  
  
• The film's timeless themes of bullying, teenage angst, and suicide.
  
  
• Why this dark, controversial film has endured as a cult classic for over 30 years.
  
  

If you're a fan of 80s movies, cult classics, or cinematic satire, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in for a fresh take on a truly unforgettable film.
