This week, The Junkies continue their in-depth look into one of beloved actor Winona Ryder’s most iconic roles by watching Reality Bites, the generation-defining (?) look at the whiny slackers of Gen X. Featuring Winona at her most appealing (and Ethan Hawke at his most annoying), the movie sets up a love triangle between the aimless Lainey (Ryder), the jobless Troy (Hawke) and director Ben Stiller’s character Michael, who has everything going for him but mysteriously wants to enter Winona’s den of slack. Janeane Garofalo and Steve Zahn round out the cast as Vickie and Sammy, who aren’t given significant storylines. While Hayley (and her husband) have…disdain for the film, Nicole can at least relate to how hard it is to get a job in journalism. Shauna isn’t the only one to root for a Lainey-Vickie pairing, and Alex gets mad every time Troy acts like he’s playing guitar. Oh well, at least this movie gave us Lisa Loeb. If you only hear what you want to, stay.
You can prepare for the next Winona Ryder 101 by watching Girl, Interrupted.
