It’s Oct. 3! That’s right — put on your pink and get in losers ‘cuz we’re covering Mean Girls (2004). To help us unpack this classic cultural icon and discuss the realities of girl-on-girl crime, we’re bringing back our friends Alex and Danielle from Top Model Rewind. And hear us out. We know this isn’t your typical horror movie, but it actually covers a lot of spooky themes: what makes the perfect costume, a surprising Halloween Wars connection, and a whole subplot of crazed bus drivers running down students. Not to mention the fact that high school is terrifying in and of itself. We get into the book that inspired Tina Fey’s incredible script, how this movie put the cast on the map, and all things girl world. Plus we share our personal teen stories and favorite quotes (hint: it's all of them).
