Corrections:

Host said at one point: "I have specific memories of Walking Tall being associated with TV somehow. And I don't know why." IMDb to the rescue! The reason host was so convinced that Walking Tall had been a TV movie was that his mind warped a piece of information he had: Walking Tall had been made into a television series in 1981. Let's just face it. The host is an idiot.

Upon further reflection, the host has come to the realization that Shannen Doherty did NOT play the ringleader of the Heathers. She was, in fact, the lowest of the Heathers totem. But she WAS still a Heather and therefore still worthy of scorn.
