On Skillset, every guest is an expert, and every week they teach you and me a new way to look at the movies. MTV Chief Film Critic Amy Nicholson talks to behind-the-scenes specialists who make movie magic and actors about the obsessions that shaped them. Season two is about high school movies, which means it’s actually about dozens of things like, the lost “Breakfast Club” footage you’ve never seen, what a principal thinks about “Ferris Bueller” and how Laney Boggs got her makeover in “She’s All That.” Skillset is a proud member of the MTV Podcast Network. You can check out other great shows including Speed Dial, Lady Problems, The Stakes, and Happy Sad Confused at podcasts.mtv.com
Plus: the cheerleading moves from ‘Bring It On’ and updating Carrie’s iconic prom look.
