“There was only one way I'd ever get what I wanted. I would have to become exactly like those people l saw getting kissed in the movies. I would have to become: a superstar." 25 years ago, Molly Shannon brought her beloved Saturday Night Live character to the big screen with a hilarious coming-of-age film filled with actors in their 30s playing high schoolers, an abundance of references to old made-for-TV movies, Will Ferrell as Jesus, multiple scenes of a girl making out with a tree, and sketch comedy legends doing what they do best to give us SUPERSTAR.

This week The Wives Colangelo are heading back to the 1980s and dancing to their hearts' content with GIRLS JUST WANT TO HAVE FUN. Does doing backflips automatically mean you're the best dancer?

“Hell is a teenage girl." 15 years ago, Diablo Cody and Karyn Kusama joined forces to create one of the best teen girl films of all time, JENNIFER'S BODY.

Now, reclaimed 15 years later, we're revisiting the film and talking about the journey it went on from cult-hit to bonafide teen classic, and embracing the return of Diablo Cody to teen girl horror comedy with LISA FRANKENSTEIN.  ----- Become a Patron!  https://www.pat ..read more
