Cutting Class

We talk about the oddball cast—especially a very young Brad Pitt—plus Jill Schoelen, Martin Mull, and Roddy McDowell, and why so many scenes feel bizarrely staged or played too straight for the gags. From killer POV moments and death-by-kiln to the Xerox kill and that trampoline flag impalement, the movie delivers creative set pieces even when the plot and character motivations don’t track. It’s not a good movie, but we still had fun with it and think it plays best with friends.
