In this week’s episode, Beth compares Blow Dry to a cheese-laden turkey. Some cheese is good and too much cheese is glorious. But this movie keeps brushing the cheese off of the turkey and insisting we need serious drama. What do you think?

The Craft is to magic as Mean Girls is to popularity. They are, once stripped down, the same movie. That's not a bad thing. They are both about leveraging power and learning that power corrupts.

This incredible film was released in 1994, 9 YEARS before being LGBTQ was even decriminalized here in the states & 2 DECADES before we got our rights. It won an Oscar, & was so popular it was part of the 2000 Olympics closing ceremony. Yet MAGA pretends trans folks didn’t exist before 2016. #Pride
