Angus

Before Mean Girls or Can’t Hardly Wait, there was Angus—the 1995 teen underdog story that dared to show what it really means to be different. This week on the No More Late Fees podcast, Jackie and Danielle rewind to the heartfelt cult classic that blended comedy, drama, and all the awkward glory of ‘90s high school life.

In this nostalgic deep dive, we’ll cover:

• Behind-the-scenes trivia and surprising casting details, including James Van Der Beek’s film debut

• The powerful performances from Charlie Talbert, Kathy Bates, George C. Scott, and more

• How Angus tackled themes of bullying, body image, friendship, and fitting in

• Memorable soundtrack moments featuring Green Day, Weezer, and Goo Goo Dolls

• Roger Ebert’s review and how critics responded to this overlooked teen gem

• Our candid Ratings Rewind—does Angus hold up nearly 30 years later?

• Hilarious commentary, hot takes, and a few fandom debates you won’t want to miss
