Heathers: Live Podcast at the London Podcast Festival

Frank Film Club with Maisie Williams

It’s Winona season and we’re BACK with a special episode recorded in the company of a delightful audience in London. Yes it’s time we released to the world… our thoughts on the monumental and enduringly relevant film that cemented Winona Ryder as a star. HEATHERS!

Released in 1989 and considered a flop, it’s become what we see as the original mean girl movie. In this episode we explore serious themes of mass hysteria, teen suicide…. and the unserious themes of mystery pâté. We discuss the teenage boys who seemed destined for great things but turn out to be predictable and mean (Christian Slater’s character). Maisie, a diehard Winona stan, explains why Ryder famously made a career-threatening move to join this controversial movie.

Thanks to you dear listeners for choosing this film for us and thanks to the sweetest audience we could’ve asked for at London Podcast Festival <3

TW: this episode does touch on topics including suicide so listen with care.
