If you have ever wondered what it would be like if MEAN GIRLS and BONNIE AND CLYDE had a baby, HEATHERS (#11 on the board) is that movie. Starring Winona Ryder and Christian Slater, right at the onset of their stardom, this cult classic is well worth a watch if only to see just how far they go with this concept.

From psychological horror last week, to the horror of bad relationships, this week we are covering one of the all time great cringe-comedies, Albert Brooks' MODERN ROMANCE (#16 on the board). An absolutely hysterical look at what happens when you're stuck in a toxic relationship that you just can't quit, this one is a must watch for comedy nerds and rom-com enthusiasts alike.

This week, as we kick off the spooky season, we're covering the most recent release in DBMN history with Edgar Wright's LAST NIGHT IN SOHO (#14 on the board), starring Thomasin McKenzie and Ana Taylor-Joy. We were somewhat split on this one, but its well worth checking out this season as you get in the mood. Atmospheric, sexy, and thrilling.

This week we're covering another debut film from the year 1996 (go check out our episode on BOUND for the first of these), made by one of the most important filmmakers of his generation, Wes Anderson. It's BOTTLE ROCKET (#16 on the board). Its not just Anderson's debut either, as this film introduced the world to his childhood friends and collaborators Owen and Luke Wilson. A sweet little film that is well worth your time, not just for the historical context.
