Episode notes

Heathers turns 36 this year, and Kristin, Jeannine, and Carole are diving headfirst into one of the darkest, funniest, and most quoted teen movies ever made. A $3 million budget, a five-week box office run that grossed $1.1 million, and somehow a cult classic — go figure.

They break down:

  • Veronica's diary
  • The Heathers' color-coded power structure
  • JD's red flags
  • Corn Nuts
  • Why this movie could never be made today
  • The mineral water "evidence"
  • ... and the eternal question of whether Ed McMahon ever had anything to do with Publishers Clearing House.
  • ALSO: Surprise bonus content

Did it age well? Not at all. But if it comes on, some of us aren't changing the channel.
