High school can be tough, especially when your mom (Piper Laurie) is a religious fanatic and all the cool girls in school (Amy Irving, PJ Soles, Edie McClurg) think you eat shit. It helps when your telekinetic powers kick in with your period and and the PE teacher, Ms Collins (Betty Buckley) pities you and next thing you know, Tommy Ross (William Katt) is inviting you to prom! Mean girl, Chris Hargenson (Nancy Allen) can't have that though so along with boyfriend Billy (John Travolta), they plot to knock Carrie off her prom night pedestal. We've got a true "good for her" story for you, this week on Doom Generation.

Happy Mother's Day!

Joan Crawford (Faye Dunaway) was a Movie Star, gracing the silver screen for decades but by her 30's her luster began to fade. In order to fill a void and maybe drum up a little publicity, she tries to adopt. When her application is rejected, she turns to lawyer and lover, Greg Savitt (Steve Forrest) who manages to get her a perfect daughter. Throughout her life, Christina (Mara Hobel/Diana Scarwid) is afforded the very best in life but under the facade of perfection, a monster lurks. Based on the best selling tell-all by Christina Crawford and wildly exaggerated for the screen by Faye Dunaway, it's Mommie Dearest - this week on Doom Generation.

YEAH BABY! We're headed to the swinging 60's where secret agent, Austin Powers (Mike Myers) and partner, Mrs Kensington (Mimi Rogers) are hot on the trail of Dr. Evil (also Mike Myers) in his plan to take over the world. When Dr Evil fails in his attempt, he freezes himself, inserts himself into a Big Boy and launches into space with his cat Mr. Bigglesworth. In order to fight Dr. Evil on his return, Austin has also frozen himself and 30 years later when the Big Boy lands, Austin also comes back. Disoriented, Austin has to learn to acclimate himself to the 90s and after meeting with Basil Exposition (Michael York) he's set up with MISS Kensington (Elizabeth Hurley). Dr. Evil has also reunited with his lackeys, Patty O'Brien (Paul Dillon), Mustafa (Will Ferrell), #2 (Robert Wagner) and Frau Farbissina (Mindy Sterling) who introduces him to his son, Scott (Seth Green).

It's our happening and it's FREAKING us out! Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, this week on Doom Generation.
