Welcome to Rise of the Gay Cinephile's millennial teen cinema season, Scream As If You Know 10 Things I Hate About Band Camp (or How Millennial Teen Movies Taught Me Everything I Know About Sex, Friendship and the American Dream)! This week, to kick off this new season, we're delving into 1995 and discussing Amy Heckerling's cult classic, Clueless; Larry Clark's endurance test, Kids; John N. Smith's cringy white saviour drama, Dangerous Minds; Patrick Read Johnson's heartfelt underdog story, Angus; and Allan Moyle's joyous music comedy, Empire Records.
