About this episode
"Heathers" screenwriter Daniel Waters joins Christy for her latest A La Carte episode, and she's thrilled to finally have him here. He's a sweet, lovely guy and they've been friends for a few years now, but she's never had the opportunity to pick his brain like this. And since the film's 30-year anniversary recently came, the timing is perfect. Dan talks about growing up in South Bend, Ind., the inspiration behind "Heathers," the lines people quote to him the most and how he always dreamed "Heathers" would become a phenomenon. We also discuss his subsequent films, including "The Adventures of Ford Fairlane," "Hudson Hawk" and "Batman Returns," and working with his brother, director Mark Waters. It'll be very, so listen and enjoy
