Movies Of The ‘90s: ‘Dazed And Confused’

WBEZ brings you fact-based news and information. Sign up for our newsletters to stay up to date on the stories that matter.

We only came here to do two things: kick some a** and recap some movies. The former is highly unlikely so let’s get to the latter!

It’s Nerdette Recaps with Peter Sagal! — the podcast where we rewatch movies of the ’90s and dissect them like the intense nerds we are.

Episode 4 features 1993’s Dazed and Confused, starring young versions of Matthew McConaughey, Parker Posey, Ben Affleck and Anthony Rapp. It’s also an early film from director Richard Linklater, who went on to make critically-acclaimed movies like Before Sunset, Boyhood and A Scanner Darkly.

Does Dazed and Confused have a plot? Barely! Does that matter? To some people, yes!

Listen to this conversation with Peter, Tricia and Greta, then join us next week for our discussion of Pulp Fiction.

And don’t forget, we want to hear from you! Join the party and send us a voice recording about any of the movies we’re featuring. Just record yourself on your smartphone and send the audio file to nerdetterecaps@gmail.com. Do it by Thursday!
