They’re catty, they’re snobby, they’ll ruin your high school experience. So why do we love them so much?
In today’s episode we cover the Holy Trinity of “teen drama queen” films: Clueless, Mean Girls, and Heathers. Be prepared for a very long tangent about the socialization of young women as each others’ enemies. We also dip into the inevitabilities of being bullied as a teenager.
As always, you can find us on Twitter! If you want to rate and review us on iTunes, that would be great as well. See the show notes below.
