Mean Girls (2004) HOW DID IT AGE?

[@anauxiliatrix3484]

In my opinion, the meanest thing a girl could ever do is rock it her way *without* a moneyspread. 😢

to me bottoms is a good modernized mean girls i genuinely think it is SO funny and such a good high school satire. it’s so satirical that it’s outlandish ofc but i think it works so well

Riley just trying to make the Renée Rapp joke work has real "fetch" energy.

[@gracehannigan158]

BRAT best & worst WHEN???

[@zackswitch9656]

Had to see how it aged

[@princess160]

Please let it slaaay

[@evantuall]

watching this movie from the perspective of a girl was really jarring in terms of period typical homophobia, girls are pretty subtle with their homophobia but they always portray it as if it's some sort of disease (especially with lesbians), so hearing regina go "i can't have a lesbian at my pool party" really sent me back 😭

[@hannahkozlovic1715]

Yeah I feel like homophobia from women is just as pervasive as it is from guys, but it’s maybe just less violent and aggressive than it is from dudes towards gay guys. Like as a lesbian I’ve never been attacked or shit like that but I’ve definitely felt like I’m viewed as some creepy diseased predator. I kinda forgot about all that when I initially watched this movie lol

[@Maria_745]

1:08 Riley definitely meant the Clique books that were huge in the mid/late 00s. There's a movie based on the series too

[@lucykorten7800]

I thought the same thing but thought maybe I was wrong on the spelling 😂

[@lilysmith9448]

i thought the same thing lol because i loveddddd those books as a kid

[@emmyrose233]

Nick DiRamio has a really funny video breaking down the movie, highly recommend

[@JamieLeanne2]

riley HAS to be talking about the "clique" books, not "click" shown at 1:14. as a girlie who read the clique series during her most impressionable years... massie block's influence still holds power over me to this day.

“I did musical in high school” I love how you phrase this like “I did track and field” or something

[@oatmealangel]

when i watched this as a teenage lesbian the thing that stood out to me the most is just how offended Janice is about getting called gay while her only friend IS gay. like it just felt like some weird unexplored homophobia for her to think the worst thing in the entire world is to have people think you're a lesbian. i hope damien met some other gay people in college and realized how shitty that was

[@zackswitch9656]

Maybe she was offended cause she was accused of being something she wasnt, and because of that she lost her friend.

[@clickhere2d1e]

Maybe this is projection on my part, but I'm also a lesbian and I always interpreted Janice as a closeted lesbian with internalized homophobia. Janice cares about what other people think of her way more than she lets on, and I don't think she would want to unpack her feelings about her sexuality and be known as a lesbian when people are already treating her so poorly based on rumors alone.

[@EnderSword]

I always just read that as her being offended at her identity being misidentified. I think we have more language for that now, like people get offended being misgendered but it doesn't mean they don't like people of that gender or think its a bad gender or something.

[@lanceelliott2504]

I think she probably was gay and didn't take that part of her being made public before she could explore it very well

[@lanceelliott2504]

​@@zackswitch9656there's a huge difference between when someone is like "I don't have a problem with it but I'm not" and acting like being gay would be weird

[@madisonh831]

i am so upset that Riley didn't clarify what musical he was in at this girls' school and also didn't say what was written about him in the e-burn book?? like wtf way to leave us hanging Jesus Christ I will never sleep until I know

[@emily23122h]

no literally i wanna know what they said about him

someone needs to pay for a cameo from him and ask him directly or something i NEED to know

@@RafaelSouza-pr4gs this is an excellent idea however i checked a few weeks ago and their cameo has been closed for months :( probably something that could get answered at a livemind or when they're on somebodys podcast though

[@ReallyAPineTree]

Wow, I did not imagine these sweaty hooligans from 6 years ago would be so versed in cinematic knowledge and artistic perspective! However, Graydon has STILL not let me go from the basement of the Gallatin School of Individualized study, where he made a lair so he could have “Peeping Peep” sessions where he would layer himself in marshmallows and sugar and spy on Eden at the NYU TIsch School for the Arts nextdoor! Anyways, love y’all!

[@jnicole510]

32:19 speaking of; you guys should do Clueless Edit: or 10 things i hate about you or any of the other romcoms from the time

[@KB-vr2ms]

oh man Clueless was so good, one of my fondest memories is watching it thinking it was a "girl movie" but it was so funny that I showed my older brother and he thought it was funny too. honestly I haven't seen it in a while but I think all things considered it's likely aged pretty well compared to some others of the time.

[@jnicole510]

@KB-vr2ms yeahhh it's a good one. It'd probably age well except for when I'm pretty sure she like has a crush on her stepbrother or something??

[@pattykcake]

The way this movie had a chokehold on every 13 to 16 year old at my high school (oh god that was over 10 years ago.) October 3rd was a national holiday. In 2012 when it fell on a Wednesday everyone was wearing pink.

[@enderdude13]

i was born on Oct 3rd 2004 so im never gonna live that down

[@rhombusted2798]

You forgot “she doesn’t even go here”

[@nolansnyder2262]

to be fair i don't think lindsay lohan did a poor job, i just don't think the character was written very well. maybe it was because the narration carried the redemption arc, or maybe it's because the movie was pretty short, but the end of her character arc was extremely rushed which made it rush the resolution. but its a comedy, who gives a fuck

[@EnderSword]

I had a huge crush on her at the time and loved her in this. I think a big part of her acting in it is a lot of it is reactions to the other characters, everyone else is this over the top caricature but she's not supposed to be. So yeah, she wasn't even written to be the lead in her own movie. Also on the redemption arc part, the movie sort of says it but I don't feel it was ever acknowledged how much every other character was wronging her. She was the new kid, didn't understand any of this and 2 competing groups of people purely used her as part of their pre-existing fight. The only person she really harmed in a way that wasn't a consequence of their own actions was the teacher. So I think the idea of the school forgiving her or something, she didn't do anything to 99.9% of those people, they just thought she pushed Regina and she didn't even do that.

[@zmazinho]

can’t wait to watch my favorite professional film critics break down mean girls

[@Tom-ci6bu]

Theater kid here, my high school recently did mean girls and for the record i think the actual musical is awesome. Granted, I’d have fun regardless of the production, but still i think it maintains a lot of the movies charm.

[@warren9583]

several schools in my local area recently did it in a weird coincidence! it's an awesome musical

This was such a good movie choice for your series! Some suggestions would be Friday (1995), Sister Act (1992), and But I'm a Cheerleader (1999). Love y'all!

[@courtneylila8383]

I want so badly for you to do an episode with Scott Cramer. He makes music and could hack it on the main channel but, personally, I want a Midwest themed tier list or bracket. Maybe "famous midwesterners" or "Midwestern tourist destinations"? Riley and Scott could circlejerk about their graphic design and advertising degrees, respectively. All I ask in return for these ideas is for Dignan to stop trying to crossbreed egyptian salamanders with cicadas in my root cellar.

why dont you post all of your fans comments in the intro of the video? Like no hate at all but it would be dope to see how many people were asking about what movies you should review. I've seen it before, sure, but it pays homage to your followers and makes them feel seen. Not being rude but I always think a lil 1-4 second collage of all the followers who asked is absolutely a cool idea. Love!!!

[@EnderSword]

Probably my favourite comedy of all time, I think one really interesting thing with this sort of look is you're comparing how people talked or acted in the movie and saying we probably wouldn't portray it that way now or use those harsh words and stuff. And I sort of agree, I think if someone made this now they wouldn't use those words or those specific stereotypes...in the movie. But I think it's interesting that we just couldn't really make this now, because kids 100% still do that, still behave exactly like this, may not use these exact words, but just use new ones you'll also hate in 20 years... they won't call each other retarded, they'll call each other autistic.. and they'll certainly still call each other sluts and whores and stuff. So I find it feels odd to realize that, it's not that kids don't do this now, we'd simply censor it. So what's aged isn't the underlying thing, but our willingness to honestly depict the underlying thing. I haven't seen the musical version yet either, but I assume they've sanitized a lot of the dialogue. I think though a lot of today's sensibility is like "you can't say a bad thing" but I think it should be more "You can say a bad thing because that's how we're showing the character is bad" like the good characters shouldn't say the bad thing but if you're trying to show a character is evil, why wouldn't that character use bad words? It kind of reminds me of some article about Thanos or the Joker showing violence against women... like yeah, he wants to kill all living things, he's bad. In another part I think one cool thing the movie did was while it focused on the Plastics and them being popular, there was a whole section towards the end where it showed like everyone has their own click and each of those clicks had these esoteric specific issues only they cared about but were really important to them, like the line "Don't drag me into this, I'm pitching tomorrow" I really liked that were it showed despite focusing on these like 5 or 6 people, all these other groups had their own dramas and things that made you important in those groups. Also on the 'Cool Asians' thing, while that's sort of something the likely wouldn't say now too, that was like the first time that concept was depicted or said like that, the 'nerdy Asian' stereotype was always around, but that's the first explicit callout I'd ever heard that the 'cool Asian' crowd even existed and I did think there was a little subtle insight there that the nerdy math guy and the cool girl were brother and sister, there was a tiny bit of depth there.

[@molly4561]

I've seen both mean girls on broadway and the mean girl musical remake movie, and I can tell you that it is actually pretty entertaining on broadway (clever, some new jokes, a lot of the songs work really well in context, etc.) but the movie REALLY misses the mark. The actors just aren't good, all of the jokes are just worse versions of the ones from the original movie, some of the songs get cut, and it's just overall really cheesy and cringey. I recommend looking into the stage show, but absolutely avoid the movie remake.
