Sunday Scaries presents: Reality Bites

  • 325 E Main Street Norman, OK, 73069 United States (map)

Join your host Maura McAndrew for the first Sunday Scaries of the season!

This month’s feature will be Ben Stiller’s 1994 directorial debut, Reality Bites, starring Wynona Ryder, Ethan Hawke, Janeane Garofalo, and more.

Reality Bites is about a group of recent college grads navigating friendship, romance, underemployment, and artistic ambition in the post-grunge 90’s.

From Texas Monthly: “Revisiting Reality Bites now, it isn’t exactly dated, despite the time capsuloe-like quality of the film’s aesthetic. It’s more like watching a foreign film, the product of a culture with different values. The movie is deeply concerned with the concept of selling out, but doesn’t feel the need to define what it is, or even why it was bad— as a pure product of its time, it takes for granted that audiences in 1994 would understand that whether or not to take corporate jobs was a defining choice in the characters’ young lives.”

As always, Maura will provide production notes, back-stories, and cultural context before the screening.
