TMR 003 – Heathers
from Total Movie Recall
Heathers (1988) d. Michael Lehmann Starring: Winona Ryder Christian Slater This week on Total Movie Recall, Steve takes us back to high school and shows us his lunch table of stoners and skaters, and Ryan shows us his lunch table of... nobody. We watched 1988's Heathers and talk about the eternal beauty of Winona Ryder, the Jean-Paul Sartre philosophy of Christian Slater, and eskimos. And somebody's mouth gets swords played in it. A regular girl, Veronica, tries to survive the social jungle of high school by sticking with the three most popular girls at school who are all called Heather. As she meets a sociopath named JD, her life spirals into a continuous cycle of hate, unintentional murder and indifference, as she exacts revenge on her enemies, also known as her best friends.Written by Marielle via IMDB Things discussed in the show: Wet Hot American Summer (TV show) Bradley Cooper Lost Soul (documentary) Ryan's love of Val Kilmer Hearts of Darkness My Best Fiend Lost in La Mancha (Terry Gilliam) Jodorowsky's Dune H.R.
