PLOT: Jim McAllister (Matthew Broderick), a well-liked high school government teacher, can't help but notice that successful student Tracy Flick (Reese Witherspoon) uses less than ethical tactics to get what she wants. When Tracy runs for school president, Jim feels that she will be a poor influence on the student body and convinces Paul (Chris Klein), a dim-witted but popular student athlete, to run against Tracy. When she becomes aware of Jim's secret involvement in the race, a bitter feud is sparked.

Episode 111 – One Big Happy Family ("Scream For Help")

Kevin & Chris celebrate Thanksgiving week with the gloriously campy and sleazy domestic-thriller Scream for Help (1984). The 'mos talk proto-The Stepfather vibes, heightened soap opera acting, wild editing & directorial choices, Fright Night scribe Tom Holland's massacred script, over-the-top scoring via Led Zeppelin's keyboardist, sex scenes & abortion sub-plots, and so many absolute WTF moments (seek out this nutty movie, folks!). Bonus topics include thoughts on Todd Field's TÁR plus whatever else we felt like talking about this holiday week. Happy Thanksgiving, listeners!
