Heaven Help Us

We continue Father Malone Month, talking about preparatory school films, with a film that shows the dark side of a boy's Catholic school, Heaven Help Us. Starring a veritable who's who of 80s teen actors, it follows a group of boys who must contend with overbearing Brothers at a 1965 Brooklyn Catholic school. It's tonally all over the place but manages to be charming in spite of it.

Dark Destination's Father Malone and Wolf & Raisin's Harris Porter join Chris to talk about the film, Michael Dinner's career, and their real-life experiences in Catholic school.
