Feeling low because their school radio show is being ignored by the students (especially the girl students), Cory (Ben Savage) and Shawn (Rider Strong) change their format to a spicy talkfest called "Lunchtime Lust." Not surprisingly, Mr. Feeny (William Daniels) deems the new format inappropriate and cancels the show--and when Mr. Turner (Anthony Tyler Quinn) tries to intervene in their behalf, the boys mess things up by launching a "pirate" radio station from the school janitor's closet! Celebrity reporter Robin Leach appears as himself in a subplot involving Cory's brother Eric (Will Friedle) and a sweepstakes contest. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Bill Maher hosts a 1993 and a 1995 episode of the irreverent and provocative Comedy Central round-table talk show. The episodes center on the questions: "Do rap music's violent lyrics incite violent behavior?"; "Will Americans get nostalgic about almost anything?"; and "Why do people join cults?" In the first episode, Maher leads guests Quentin Tarantino, Corbin Bernsen, Dick Clark, and Margaret Smith on an examination of rap music, America's cultural expansionism, and ill-considered nostalgia. The second episode also features Tarantino, this time mixing it up with Maher, Janeane Garofalo, Bonnie Hunt, and Robin Leach over cults, juries, and a Disney history park. ~ Steve Blackburn, All Movie Guide

Susan Seidelman directed this loose adaptation of Fay Weldon's novel The Life and Loves of a She-Devil concerning the extreme revenge exacted by a dumpy housewife on her philandering husband. Mary Fisher (Meryl Streep) is a best-selling romance novelist of the manner of Danielle Steel or Jackie Collins. One night at a glamorous dinner party, Ruth (Roseanne Barr), the frumpy housewife of Bob (Ed Begley Jr.), accidentally spills wine over Mary's pink evening gown. Bob rushes to Mary's assistance, they look into each other's eyes, and it is lust at first sight. After a few clandestine interludes, Bob abandons his wife and his two smart-aleck kids to live with Mary at her palace by the seaside. As a result, Ruth goes into high gear to seek vengeance. She deposits her kids with Bob and then, with the help of a collection of other abused women -- including Ruth's mother (Sylvia Miles), nursing home attendant Hopper (Linda Hunt), and dim-witted secretary Olivia Honey (Maria Pitillo) -- she systematically sets out to destroy Bob's life. Bob calls Ruth a she-devil, and Ruth plays the role to the hilt; first she destroys his home life, then his career, then his freedom. And when he has nothing left, she proceeds to haunt and stalk him, bringing Bob to his knees. ~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide

Though she is a cult favorite, few take the horror-movie actress seriously. The taxi driver does and is sure that with a little of his expert direction she could become an excellent dramatic actress. Unfortunately, before he can help her, he must first get her attention. He first approaches her while she is taking a shower in her suite. Naturally she attempts to throw him out. A scuffle ensues and he ends up threatening to slit her throat. She escapes and dressed only in a towel runs through a crowd. The taxi driver is right behind her and the other festival-goers, thinking it all a clever promotional gimmick, applaud. He stops to take a bow and she makes it to safety. This bad start does not stop the cabbie from trying to reach her and before the story ends, many people die horrible deaths, leading to the film's surprising ending. Much of the story was shot on location at the 1981 Cannes Film Festival and features shots of several famous actors and filmmakers. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
