What a horrible thread to have a post.
If you watch that Game Show scene, the lighting changes DRAMATICALLY between certain shots, it's wild.

I think this is such an interesting movie because it's right on the cusp of Gen X and its early 90s culture getting rapidly flavor-blasted into irrelevancy. In another couple of years they stop being media's favorite think-piece and it moves on to the Millennials and Y2k. So much of this movie was functionally dead a handful of years later. There's no mention of the internet or cellphones, the attitudes of the protagonists are archaic, and even the fuckin' Hartford Whalers (the team that Brodie is playing in the iconic NHL game) aren't around anymore. Yeah it's a mean-spirited and frequently stupid but (to paraphrase Ferris Bueller here) so is high school.
