Season 1 / Episode 17 - HEATHERS

On this week's episode of the Shamelist Picture Show both Michael and Nick re-unite! Plus, they discuss HEATHERS, which is one of Michael's favorite films. Heathers, directed by Michael Lehmann from a script drafted by Daniel Waters tells the story of young Veronica Sawyer and the agony of being in high school. Veronica is a member of a very elitist, color coordinated sect of popular girls aptly named The Heathers based on the fact that all of their names are Heather. Veronica is blasé about it all and unhappy, that is, until she meets the very mysterious Jason Dean. Jason Dean is, as Veronica describes, “a dark horse in the running”. He’s not the typical kind of guy with his look, his interests… and the fact that he’s probably a sociopath. After accidentally killing the head of the Heathers and disguising it as a suicide, Veronica and JD head down a dark road of killing for the sake of making their high school a better place. This very dark comedy stars Winona Ryder, Christian Slater, Shannon Doherty, Lisanne Falk and Kim Walker and was released by New World Pictures in 1988. What did we think of the movie? Listen and find out! Also on this episode is a short cameo by Twisted Dreams Film Festival co-founder Stephen Milek where he discusses seeing HEATHERS for the first time!
