Trash Classics: The Dirties

“We’re just here for the bad guys.” Canadian comedian Matt Johnson’s first film as a director took the documentary and comedy improv techniques from Nirvanna The Band The Show and applied them to a post-Columbine vision of high school. Matt Johnson plays Matt and Owen Williams plays Owen, high school friends who are making a film project for class. Within their constant bullying by classmates, they hit upon a new idea of making a movie… about a school shooting. A very dark satire with music by Jay McCarrol.
