About this episode

Jordan and Alex don their best Juicy Couture sweatsuits for a deep dive into one of the most iconic Aughties comedies of all time: 'Mean Girls'! They try to make fetch happen by going long on the author of the source material's gripe with the film's writer, Tina Fey, drill down into the difficult process of assembling the sterling cast, and figure out exactly how they made a movie written by a New Yorker and shot in Canada feel like a John Hughes comedy set in Illinois.  They'll also explore the film's very explicit connection to 'Heathers,' what went into the wardrobe and provide a lengthy update on the film's long-stalled sequel. Too Much Information: You CAN sit with us.
