"I've been kicked off the track team, and without track, my grades will be based on ...my grades."

The world lost a wonderful woman this month with the passing of Margo Donohue. In honor of her life and legacy, we're re-releasing our episode with her on HEAVEN HELP US, the 1985 Catholic school boys film filmed in Brooklyn. At the time of the episode, Margo had just released the book FILMED IN BROOKLYN, all about movies set in her stomping grounds. We also read a bit from Mike McPadden's TEEN MOVIE HELL, had the chance to examine how teen boys function differently around women compared to all-male groups, and tried to figure out why we love Kevin Dillon's Rooney so much, even though he says the f-slur more in this movie than any others combined.

We miss you already, Margo. 

For more of her work, check out the books FILMED IN BROOKLYN and FEVER: The Complete History of Saturday Night Fever, as well as her podcasts What a Creep!, Dorking Out, and Book Vs. Movie.
