Trivia

J.C. Oliva:  in the opening montage inside the display case, the photograph of the Palm d'Fry winner is a photo of the director in high school. The student is also later referred to as "Juan Carlos," which is what the J.C. in the director's name stands for.

User Reviews

Bodey McDodey, ambiguously gay

I saw this last night on LOGO, and I have to say that it was terrific, like a lost episode of "Square Pegs," or something.

The short film tells the story of the splendid Sissy Frenchfry, a sorta Ferris Bueller for our times (winningly played by the charming Steven Mayhew, a possible Mormon, methinks), and how an interloper tries to take over his turf at West Beach High.

The interloper, a hunky jock with the alarming name of Bodey McDodey, does his best (which is, happily, not good enough to defeat Sissy) to take over the school, but good prevails !

A really wonderful film, I'd like to buy it on DVD, and I will be keeping my eyes open for anything new from director J.C. Oliva.

UPDATE: I actually have a copy of the DVD now, and I LOVE it !!!
