“Are we going to prom or to hell?”
What’s the most important decision a teenager can make? Is it what to do with 5 million dollars two days before aliens blow up the planet? Is it what kind of corn nuts make the best pre-fraternity party snack? According to Michael Lehmann’s dark cult comedy Heathers, the most important decision a teenager can make is whether or not to die by suicide. But what if it’s not a decision at all? What if a hot killer couple blasts through the halls of their suburban high school dressing up their murders as altruistic revenge? The Lady Killers conclude Bad Romance month by putting on their red power scrunchies and fucking each other gently with chainsaws on a very special episode covering one of the hottest killer couples of all time.

There is nothing like a proverbial bond between one’s own offspring. The joys are finding your inner self within them. The feeling of self-fulfillment, reproducing your very own mini-me. The realization that you have much more purpose in this world than just being a cog in corporate America riding that 9-5 grind. Ah yes, the moments you share with your own child far outweigh the trials and tribulations of dealing with the everyday stress of adulthood. But what if that child has an embedded evil inside of them? What if their own volition comes with malice and harm? Would you cope with still accepting them as they were?

The ending of the 1988 black comedy "Heathers" obliterates the social hierarchies of high school. After J.D.'s plans to blow up the school during the pep rally are thwarted by Veronica, he follows her to the steps of Westerburg High School and sacrifices himself for his anti-clique ideology. Veronica rejects his pretentious worldview and manipulative ways as she calmly watches him die by suicide. When Veronica steals the red scrunchie from Heather Duke and puts it in her disheveled hair, this symbolizes the downfall of the Heathers' rule. "Heather my love, there's a new sheriff in town," she says, effectively knocking the Heathers off the top of the social pyramid.
"Heathers" was considered a flop during its theatrical release, earning $177,247 on its opening weekend and only $1 million at the box office over the course of five weeks (via Box Office Mojo). However, it developed a cult following on VHS and...

Brendan Fraser and Adam Sandler have an epic “Airheads” reunion for Variety‘s new Actors on Actors issue.
The actors take a trip down memory lane, all the way back to the 90s when they first worked together on the 1994 comedy “Airheads” where they played two band members who hijack a radio station out of desperation to make it big.
However, Sandler reveals that Fraser almost wasn’t cast as singer Chazz Darby.
The “Grown Ups” actor explains that, at the time, he discovered Fraser, who was then known best for portraying an unfrozen caveman in “Encino Man”, and had to fight for him to be a part of “Airheads”.

Adam Sandler is notorious for taking care of his friends. Whether he’s lining them up as producers for his latest off-color comedy or celebrating their talents during interviews, the Saturday Night Live alum is not afraid to go to bat for who he believes in. Speaking on Variety’s Actors on Actors, Sandler said he recognized Brendan Fraser‘s talent after seeing him in 1992’s Encino Man and knew he deserved more significant roles.
According to Sandler, Airheads director Michael Lehmann was “very against” casting Fraser in the role of Chazz, the long-haired lead singer and guitarist of the Lone Rangers musical trio.
“He was like, ‘I don’t get it. I don’t see the caveman being in the movie.’ And I just said, ‘He can do other shit, man,'” Sandler said to Fraser during their talk. Fraser responded, “Are you pulling my chain right now?” Sandler...

Brendan Fraser and Adam Sandler first jammed together in the 1994 comedy “Airheads,” playing two members of a band so desperate to make it big that they hijack a radio station. The musically inept Lone Rangers — Steve Buscemi was the bassist — would soon be in high demand in Hollywood, but Sandler reveals in our conversation that he had to fight to get Fraser cast as singer Chazz Darby.
Back then, Fraser was best known for playing an unfrozen caveman in “Encino Man,” opposite Pauly Shore. Soon enough, his career exploded, with studio vehicles including “The Mummy,” “George of the Jungle” and “Bedazzled.” And to this day, Sandler, who’s at the top of his game as an NBA coach in Netflix’s “Hustle,” is still rooting for Fraser. “You crushed me,” says Sandler of Fraser’s comeback role as a 600-pound English teacher in Darren Aronofsky’s “The Whale.” Since the film premiered at Venice,...

The bell just rang, school is out for summer. Maybe it’s out forever—leaving school behind as our heroes and antiheroes spend long, hot days laying about in the city or countryside, anticipating college dreams or fearing a return to the classroom. Or, more likely, not thinking of studies at all, just anticipating the next summer day and how to score more thrills.As the season winds down, here is a mix that is an ode to the teenage summer—so wonderfully captured in many films—a choice selection that evokes endless possibilities: sweat, love, passion, booze, drugs, and questions of the great unknown just around the corner. The characters of these summertime stories are either breaking hearts, heartbroken, running from hell or somewhere lost in between.Some favorite moments include the confusion, chaos and otherworldly essence of Gheorghe Zamfir’s flute from the unforgettable score for Peter Weir...

The Production: "Heathers: The Musical"
Where You Can Stream It: The Roku Channel
The Pitch: In 1988, director Michael Lehmann, armed with a deeply satirical script by Daniel Waters and tour de force performances by Winona Ryder and Christian Slater, changed the teen movie genre forever. The film was "Heathers," the edgy, snappy, pitch-black response to the John Hughes and Brat Pack era of teen cinema.
"Heathers" is considered one of the most iconic coming-of-age films ever made, but was a box office flop at the time of release. And yet, thanks to home video rentals and endlessly quotable lines, "Heathers" is one of the strongest examples of a cult film crossing the threshold into bonafide classic territory. That film is...

The list of musical adaptations is getting dangerously long and after a few painful disappointments, even theater kids are starting to question reality. Alas, the past few years have made it very clear that at some point, we'll have to accept that the movie-to-musical pipeline (not to be confused with the movie-to-musical-to-movie pipeline) is here to stay. And even though I still shudder every time I remember that "Shrek The Musical" exists, it's always thrilling to learn that another musical is on the way. This time the title in question is "Heathers: The Musical." An adaptation of the 1988 film, "Heathers," this high-energy black comedy spent months on London's West End where it was filmed and will now stream as a Roku Original. Starting September 16, you can check out "Heathers: The Musical" anywhere that The Roku Channel streams.

If you're familiar with "Gone Girl," "The Woman in the Window," or any dramatic Lifetime movie surrounding bored housewives, murder and hefty amounts of booze, then you'll get the vibe of "The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window." Netflix's dark comedy series is a parody of all the mystery subgenre's familiar tropes about women essentially not being believed, trying to solve a murder on their own, and being gaslit by pretty much everyone in their inner circle.
Created by Hugh Davidson, Larry Dorf, and Rachel Ramras, and directed by Michael Lehmann,...

Almost as soon as The Woman in the House‘s central mystery is resolved, a second mystery reveals itself involving The Woman in Seat 2A.
The limited series’ finale begins with Anna convinced that Buell is the killer. But upon entering Neil’s home, she finds the simple-minded handyman bleeding out on the floor (don’t worry, he lives) and a slain Neil past the point of resuscitation (R.I.P.). That leaves just one possible culprit: Neil’s 9-year-old daughter Emma (played by Samsara Yett), who confesses to Anna that she killed her pregnant mother, her unassuming teacher and her father’s girlfriend Lisa.

If you're one of the many fans of this '80s cult classic, you may have spent a lot of time agonizing over not just which plaid blazer to wear to school (never the red unless your name is Heather Chandler) but also the unknown possibility of whether Veronica and the Heathers will finally get a sequel to their teen angst body count.

Whether it be conveying humor, heartbreak, heavy drama or a lofty song, Marilyn Monroe’s talent went far beyond her beauty.
The Asphalt Jungle
In her first important role, Monroe plays a young mistress who supplies her sugar daddy a fake alibi in this John Huston-directed film noir. TV director Michael Lehmann later went on to say, “Mm playing a bimbo so much better than anybody can these days.”
All About Eve
Monroe was a relative un-known when her agent went to get her the role in this classic Bette Davis film. Film critic Roger Ebert wrote of Monroe’s performance, “It has been observed that no matter how a scene was lighted, Monroe had the quality of drawing all the light to herself. In her brief scenes here, surrounded by actors much more experienced, she is all we can look at.”

Alexis von Wittgenstein’s Munich-based production shingle Violet Pictures is expanding its TV series pipeline with a slew of new projects, among them a historical drama about the role of women in the creation of modern Europe, the story of a mother of three who became one of the Soviet Union’s most successful spies, and a 1970s-set anti-nuclear activist romance.
The company, whose credits include “Oktoberfest: Beer & Blood,” which premiered last year on Ard and currently streams on Netflix, is also partnering with “Unorthodox” producer Real Film Berlin on a four-project slate that includes the tentatively titled “Sayn & Schein,” a dark comedy about a royal title dealer set in the present-day world of German and British aristocracy.

Pour one out for “68 Whiskey.”
Paramount Network has canceled the dark comedy after a single season, Variety has confirmed. News of the cancelation comes around six months after the show wrapped its 10-episode run.
Blending drama with humor, “68 Whiskey” followed a multicultural band of Army medics stationed in Afghanistan on a base nicknamed “The Orphanage.” Together, the medics navigate a dangerous and sometimes absurd world, relying on comradery, various vices, and occasionally a profound sense of purpose to carry them through. The show starred Sam Keeley, Jeremy Tardy, Gage Golightly, Cristina Rodlo, Beth Riesgraf, Lamont Thompson, Nicholas Coombe and Derek Theler.
“68 Whiskey” hailed from Brian Grazer, Ron Howard and their Imagine Television banner. The duo served as executive producers on the project, alongside series creator and writer Roberto Benabib. Howard was originally lined up to direct the pilot, but that responsibility eventually fell to Michael Lehmann.
