Andrew and special guest, writer and director Adam Seccafico, discuss the complex meaning of one of the the most sardonic and biting satires you've never seen: Michael Lehmann's cult classic from 1988, Heathers. This explosive film offers hilarious moments with gutsy, pitch dark thematic elements that are all simply to die for!

Andrew and Adam do a deep dive into such topics as Heathers' relevance in today's society, the metaphor of croquet, the Freudian dynamics of the characters, how the film highlights broader societal issues, the normalization of suicide in teen culture, their favorite hilarious and meaningful moments, and much more.
