Not all girls want to play with dolls. It’s been 27 years since Todd Solondz’s Welcome to the Dollhouse, and we’re here to tell you that it's still savage AF. Seth Subin from @jerkofalltrades joins us again to discuss this pitch black coming-of- age comedy, and we really just want to give Dawn Wiener a hug and tell her it’s all going to be alright. We get into the 90s icon that is Heather Matarazzo as the ultimate outsider in us all. Dawn launched her to bigger movies like 54, Princess Diaries, and Saved. Matarazzo’s Dawn Wiener is just as potent now as it was when we first got our hands on a copy of this movie. We talk about Brendan Sexton III, as the type of damaged bully we all remember growing up, and the beautiful himbo Steve Rogers (played by Eric Mabius). This movie is essential 90s cinema, and we’re not entirely sure if a movie like it could be made today.
