"Fair is fair!" Billie Jean Davy: Buzzcut rebel. Voice of a generation. Cute girl. Helen Slater led a young cast through a cross-Texas odyssey in 1985's The Legend of Billie Jean. Yes, the brazenly named flick didn't quite live up to its title upon release, but went on to cut out a name for itself on cable and VHS. But now, decades later, is $608 even worth the road trip in this economy? Is Billie Jean a reluctant hero or just a clumsy fugitive? And, are we sure Christian Slater isn't related to Helen? The Old Roommates bust out their half-baked southern accents,and give it a rewatch through their middle-aged lens. Listen to this.
