Calling all GMTD listeners and any clones out there, this week we have Alice Lahoda here to discuss The Other Me!
Following a young yo-yo wielding slacker named Will (a Lawrence Brother, but not the one you want), this movie is a cautionary tale of what happens when you accidentally clone yourself. Thinking he can get out of doing homework and chores, Will has Twoie (the clone, obviously) fill in for him at school and beyond — and guess what? Everyone LOVES him! Like, WAY more than Will. Like, by a mile. And that might be because Twoie gets better grades, does (HEINOUS) choreography in the lunch room, is the only person on earth who’s talked to the grandpa like he’s a human being, and of COURSE wins over the bully through trauma bonding (even though Twoie’s trauma isn’t real!!!!). Gorgeous.
And of course we also have a couple of queer-coded villains, a granola mom who can’t cook, a spy van fronting as an ice cream truck, and pacing that will make you think, “Did time just stop?”
Have funnnnn!!!
