Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999)

Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999)

Is everyone fair game when it comes to comedy? What if the person lampooning an oppressed group is a member of that group? Does it change if it's a mockumentary?

Listener Justin M. knew he was stirring up trouble when he commissioned 1999's "Drop Dead Gorgeous," a movie that looked at "Clueless" and said, "Hold my beer."

Kirsten Dunst, Brittany Murphy, Denise Richards, Amy Adams, and Kirstie Alley had Ash and Big in tears with laughter. But Gene was just sad watching the film mock the poor, small-town folk, young women, the intellectually disabled, and people with eating disorders.

In the debate, the Shat Crew also discussed gun culture, gross-out humor, and the original ending of "Drop Dead Gorgeous," which was much, much darker.
