Heathers.
Revenge of the Nerds.
They tried to make a modern Heathers.. and it REALLY didn't work.
Same with Mean Girls
What was is called?
There's actually 2 recent versions.
A tv show that was pretty up its own ass in trying to paint the new Heathers as overtly millennial.
And a musical which I've only seen the TV adapted version of and it was... decent.
I dunno man, I grew up with the original as a favorite of my early and mid-teens so I probably have some sacred cows about it that prevent me from accepting any updates as something more than a pale imitation.
Revenge of the Nerds would work but it would be all the worst characters in the Zoomer Generation. And maybe they would treat the themes of alcoholism and rape a little differently.
And also the Javelin throw scene wouldn't work because the Javelins are heavily regulated by the modern rules.
