(CN: Heathers is a dark movie that deals with suicide, murder, homophobia, fatphobia, and eating disorders. We discuss all of those things in this episode so if you need to skip this one we get it.)


Sophie White of The Creep Dive and Mother Of Pod returns to Juvenalia to talk about the extremely dark 1989 horror comedy Heathers. We talk about the chemistry of Winona Ryder and Christian Slater, how dark, dark, super dark this film, how it’s still funny though, about the disastrous 2018 TV reboot, the wonderful music, and about dark teen comedies in general.


Sophie White is @sophwhitewhoop on instagram. Her amazing new book Corpsing: My Body And Other Horror Stories  is out now on Tramp Press.
