BadAptation Series: Ferris Bueller starring Jennifer Aniston - with guest Simone Smith

Ferris Bueller WAS a show. The iconic John Hughes classic about
high school rebellion from 1986 was reimagined as a sitcom in
1990. Matthew Broderick was replaced by Charlie Schlatter who,
much like the Ferris of the film, often breaks the 4th wall to
address the audience—only this Ferris is also explicitly aware of
the existence of the film, for which he has an apparent disdain.
This show also features Jennifer Aniston in her 2nd time at bat.
Join Brynn, Aaron, Barry, and special guest Simone Smith who
chose this show—looking into the camera—as we cut class and go on
an adventure to see why this one got expelled.
