oops we left in Kelsey's "paint" story...

36:42 “trust me, people that go to Yale are not that great” THE SHADE ZACHARY 😂

Maya came out as queer in September! 🌈

Kelsey: “Oh she’s straight? That’s unfortunate.” I DIED 😂😂😂😂😂

I’m LIVING for the shade about Yale 😂

ngl in my opinion the reason the boys aren't into it as much, or think the movie is as iconic as kelsey thinks (and i agree with her), is that they are boys and this movie was not made for them or with them in mind. yes guys can love the movie and be into it as much as any girl, and some ladies may hate it, but this was a product by and for women and i think this is why it resonates so much to so many of us. it's mindless fun that plays with all the classic tropes we love by doing it well, honoring the movies that came first and giving us a fresh take to enjoy.

Okay I understand what the boys are saying about the ending feeling tacked on, BUT I think it was so important for the girls to acknowledge to each other that getting revenge wasn’t making them feel better. Also the boyfriend was the absolute worst and I would’ve been upset if they didn’t take him down.

The fact that they're talking about how worried they were about Kelsey while Zach is wearing a hoodie that says "check in on your cool friends" it's a 10/10 for me

The paint fight scene was a nod to '10 things I hate about you', which is the 2nd best teen flick of the late 90s behind Cruel Intentions. (RIP Heath Ledger)

Gonna be honest. It’s shade at Yale Guys and Kelsey’s art projects that made me subscribe to guilty pleasures before you can sit with us. Love the try wives but something about this trio is just so ELECTRIC

Zach being worried about kelsey not showing up is karma for his undisclosed spa day that panicked the Try wives

Did anyone else think Sophie Turner was going to rip out Camila Mendes's earring during that scene at the rehab center? I was, like, watching through my fingers. The rage in Sophie's eyes looked too real.

The ex-boyfriend WAS the real enemy. I was rooting for her to make up. It makes sense to me. Nope the end was perfect. Idk that's how psycho female friendship can go. It was perfect

Nope. Kelsey is 100% right, this movie is iconic. Mean girls randomly became popular over time, I don’t remember it being super popular immediately. Who’s to say this one won’t as well? I had low expectations for it and then…wow. Loved it.

to this day i still feel like i’m the only one who one, wasn’t expecting them to ever kiss. and two, was glad that the movie suddenly didn’t FORCE them to, either. because as a queer girl myself, and despite them being horribly toxic to each other, it’s still nice to see a lesbian and straight girl be strictly friends and i wish more people were just accepting of that fact instead of instantly going “i sense some chemistry why don’t you make out” also: idk WHY anyone would want the girl who outed the other girl and claimed her as a predator to kiss the girl who is still learning to unpack that trauma??? toxic or not, don’t wish kisses on people who are horrible to each other!

I love the foreshadowing in this film! Especially that smug or like contempt filled side eye glance we are blessed with when Drea is talking about narcissists being too focused on themselves to notice when they're being manipulated and we get a shot of Elanor side eyeing her, freaking brilliant. In that moment I knew something was up!

Not me seeing Miles’ post about leaving Kelsey’s “paint” story in and thinking it’s the one at the beginning. Nope 😆

"lesbians just be chilling man" favorite take of the episode 😤

I live for kelsey and her sex-capade stories on the pod 🤣🤣🤣

I’m Canadian and Garrick is not wrong, I don’t know how to describe it but you can almost always tell when a show is Canadian

Here’s a fun fact Zach missed: the “chill lesbian dream girl” starred in the Déjà Vu music video with Olivia rodrigo!

"you GOTTA eat ass as an adult!" is so real and I love kelsey so much lmaoooo

I’m unfortunately still in high school (almost out thank the fuck gods) but for my school at least, you dont really see people making fun of ppl but you can hear people silently doing so. I’m an eavesdropper pffft tho I don’t know if its just because I’m unlucky and always get put into the same classes with THOSE kids, but I’ll definitely hear once and a while them talking shit abt random kids they’ve seen around school, abt how they look, act, etc. But that group is so small compared to the amount of outcasts we have now so I think thats why we dont actually see or hear abt it loudly. And to be honest it just depends who you hang out with like I ended a friendship with this girl because she just became really toxic and kept making fun of people or things that weren’t that big of a deal.

I went to high school with Cami and she’s always been good! She’s actually so funny in real life too

whoever cast cami is someone who watches her on tiktok bc that’s how we knew she’s funny

I'm already watching this movie on repeat as my new comfort film. SPOT ON REVIEW. It's iconic. We love the power of female friendship and embracing that teenage girls are psychopaths, the fashion, the dialogue - it's delicious, you can't match it. Might have to watch again today because of all of you.

The Yale comment is UNHINGED and Im here for it

I gotta say I was with Zach and Garrick and wasn't sure about this movie, but this episode has fully sold me on it.

as someone who’s currently in high school, 1. yes, popular kids do still make fun of outcasts, but it’s more talking behind each others backs rather than saying things to their face. in my experience, no one outright bullies people to their faces but instead in group chats with their friends 2. i haven’t seen anyone at my school wear locket necklaces, but i def saw them in like middle school

Thanks to this podcast I just learned that the male lead of Dash and Lily was also in Euphoria playing a presumably completely different role (he played the ex in this movie) and that's just super crazy

Give booksmart the respect it deserves. Pinnacle of modern girl friendship movies.

As a Canadian, I know EXACTLY what Garrick is talking about with shows looking Canadian.

SO MUCH DISRESPECT!!! Especially when all the best actors are Canadian...gods! 🤣

I went in with 0 expectations. Thought I was watching some trashy GenZ teen bop movie to zone out to. CUT TO!! I was shook when I realised this was going to be an actually good movie and enjoyed it immensely

I SCREAMED AT ZACH'S YALE COMMENT

Kelsey's @$$-eating moment was fun - bless you, Kelsey

Petition to include another woman in this podcast??? I need another female voice of reason here 😭

Ok so I stopped listening on Spotify so I can come on here and spam the FACT that KELSEY HAS NOT SEEN CLUELESS!!! I'm absolutely shocked, and I demand (yes, demand lol) a guilty pleasure epi on Clueless so she is FORCED to watch this 90's masterpiece!!

Speaking of Olivia Rodrigo, Maya Hawk's crush in this movie is actually the girl from the Deja Vu music video!

After listening to this podcast I feel like you guys have not seen “Jawbreaker” It’s a classic teen girls/mean girls movie that invented the popular girl lockstep down the hall. I think Do Revenge really paid so much homage to it Please watch it and include it in the pod!

One of my tweets during everything blowing up was there’s going to be a lot of dark humor coming out… Case in point: 36:42. Amazing burn, Korn Diddy.

I already thought this movie was a pleasure but this episode of the pod made me think it was EVEN MORE of a pleasure

I definitely saw the twist coming because 1. how Maya looks at Camilla when she says the thing about narcissists and 2. there had to be a twist. BUT I still loved the movie and it's fully a pleasure for me

Stained glass window in the bathroom was totally a Heathers funeral reference

thank god you're doing do revenge. this movie fucking SLAPS

The Yale comment omg

I listen on Spotify, but I had to come and read the comments for this one, great episode! I was fully losing it in my car when Kelsey calls her art friend and Miles is distressed about the level of professionalism at his place of work.

I never did drugs or alcohol in high school. The high school experience was already too much of a bad trip!

I always appreciate Garrick’s support and recommendations for anime and other animated media. If you’re reading this, go watch/read Chainsaw Man.

Kelsey’s paint story is the most replayed part of the video 😂😂😂😭

As someone who knows Vancouver film productions well (my mother has worked in the industry since I was born and I help out), Garrick is 100% correct. There's a specific look things that shot here have, lighting and colour grading in particular but also shot pacing. Also almost all the props and background costumes are from one business so there's something your brain is probably noticing even if you consciously aren't.

me screaming at my TV because everything garrick was saying was so right

Not me waiting for you guys to mention talia lmao

OMG the Kelsey anecdote in the beggining Lol

Flewww to the comments section after that paint story + yale shade. Just top notch entertainment.

imo Canadian TV is structured more like theatre, compared to American TV. Much like the UK, actors in Canada generally have theatre-based training, more so than screen-acting training. Also, the Canadian TV system is a government subsidized grants-based system, so the requirements for pitching/making TV and film is more similar to the grants system in the fine arts world. Canada is also currently trying to push this model, because Canadian-produced TV actually does really well on international markets, because there tends to be a focus on specific identity issues, while remaining relatable and universal. Kim's Convenience is a good example -- its context is highly specific: a Korean immigrant family, living in Toronto, trying to find their place in this culture, while remaining true to their home country. It's an exploration of diaspora, within a Canadian context. It's also about a convenience store owner, so we get a work-place comedy with a diverse cast of supporting stories. This is also what makes it universal. There are so many stories of immigration/emigration, diaspora, and cultural sharing. Convenience stores are accessible sites for these stories. If you've lived in a downtown centre, these stories will feel familiar to you. The possibilities to relate to a story, like Kim's Convenience, is just really high -- either you've been a customer in these spaces, the convenience store owner (and the community!) is a staple in your life, or you have experienced diaspora and immigration yourself. So, as a TV product, because it has such a high relatability factor, it is an ideal product for streaming. This is also why Schitt's Creek and Letterkenny did so well in USA and abroad, because there's a feeling of it being so specific and unique (Canadiana/Canadianisms are definitely used!), yet also very familiar and formulaic (small-town kindness; communities coming together, working together). (Both these shows are also dialogue/writing gold, something I think is also owed to the theatre roots.)

The way my mouth dropped when I heard the yale shade 🤣🤣

the SCREAM I SCRUMPT “people that go to yale are not that great”

as a lesbian, i WILL be integrating lesbians be chillin into my worldview

big ol yes to the intro line choice

i’m a senior in hs and in my experience most of the time being an “outcast” is used to brag to seem different and mysterious🙃 both online and offline

I also saw a lot of John Tucker Must Die in this movie which was super fun. Loved the episode!

tbh i didn’t get the yale thing zach said at 36:42 . j thought yale dude went to cornell because i mixed up andy bernard from the office and the yale dude.

i am so glad you mentioned talia ryder. lesbians really do be chillin

The biggest problem i had with the ending was that they sort of breeze past Maya HITTING DREA WITH HER CAR. I could've lived with it more even with a small change like a mutual fight/make up at the party instead of Drea chasing after her, or at least not framed it like their friendship is 100% aspirational at the end. They both did terrible things, but hitting someone with your car like..she could've killed her and I had a hard time reconciling that

i love this podcast

“It was not Florida” it definitely is a very specific sector of Miami actually lol

Ethan has always been hot. THE BATHROOM HALLOWEEN SCENE??? ARE YOU KIDDING ME????

I did love the movie but yeah I dont understand why cami and maya didnt kiss, they had the chemistry and plot but I guess they didnt think it would spiral like that lol. Anyways I loved this ep and wish you guys commented on more queer content 😶‍🌫️

Also I also thought abt the uniform and paint and agree a hundred percent w garrett

Even épisodes with movies I’ve never heard of are so enjoyable with these 3😂 so damn entertaining

Y'all are a mess and I am here for it! Kelsey talking about eating ass and painting everything! I was dyinngg! This podcast rocks!

Garrick saying the most American thing when dumping on Canada. ‘Merica

V happy to have a new channel just for GP ❤

I like how sick it was at the end. Like they were both so foul and wrong they had to forgive each other and be each other's sicko

Garrick I see what you’re saying about Canadian production, it’s usually bad, but you go with Kim’s convenience over Schitt's Creek are you KIDDING MEEEEEE. That is Canadian gold - Catherine O Hara and the Levy’s come on. I’m offended and I’m Canadian, a rare sight

I just watched the movie last night, and I love that you all reviewed it! It deserves the praise

Maya is actually queer!! she came out like a month ago 💅💜

Yall I need more unfiltered pointed comments lol kelseys "sketch comedy" "THATS a free lesson in comedy writing" 😆

Campaign to make Kelsey watch Clueless!!

I watched with my mum (I’m gen z and my my mum is gen x) and as much as we’ll love the colour palette, we couldn’t get behind the characters- unlike mean girls, where there meanness is cliche and caricatured, this was kinda horrifying for us. Maybe it’s because my mum has quite a strong moral compass when it comes to certain things so I was being influenced by her but certain scenes where it was quite violent, we kept thinking “are we supposed to be on their sides??”. Having said that, it was enjoyable, definitely gen z, and just to reiterate, love love love the colours.

I adore you Kelsey, however, I think you must must must see Clueless if you have any chance to gauge the “iconic-ness” of this genre. This movie is a love letter to Amy Heckerling’s characters and looks like if Heathers was set at Beauxbatons. I really liked this as a fun homage movie and I hope the source materials get their much deserved iconic views as well

As an Australian, I can confirm we drop a good C word into casual conversation so often.

It’s a bug deal to have Buffy the Vampire Slayer in the movie because Joss Whedon tried to ruin her career. Joss was an ass and Buffy hasn’t been in much since his sabotage attempts. It’s cool if you’re not stoked to see her, no stress or worries BUT major middle finger to Joss.

I was like ‘oh, finally this paint story I’ve heard references to’ and thought it was about Kelsey’s painting missing the podcast recording… nope 😂😂 They can talk all the shit they want but Kelsey was like bet he loved it hahaha

I love watching films vicariously through these folks 🤣

As the former poor scholarship kid in a massively wealthy private school in LA, this movie was clearly written by the rich kids from those schools jealous of us for getting into their dream schools💀 Trust me, the same varsity blues kids will trash talk poor and poc students from their jealous entitlement. I liked the movie, but the representation could not be more off and took me out a lot.

The Yale shade 💀

You all need to do the school for good and evil from netflix

Maya doesn't like when people speculate her sexuality, which is fair it's no ones business but hers, however, she stated in an interview that whilst writing her album Moss (go listen it's amazing) she went back to a mindset similar to when she was a teen and started questioning :) and her characters crush is called Gabby

I loved this movie and wrote a paper for English three days after It came out and when my friend read my paper I convinced her to watch it haha. I think it’s a great movie and is a classic fun girl movie that embraces femininity!

I live in Naples, FL. It ain’t far off lol it’s crazy here

Idk my (unpopular?) Do Revenge opinion is that Drea got way too much shit thrown at her. Like her consequences were wildly disproportionate to her actions. I’m queer, the thought of being outed like that is horrendous but outing someone at day camp in middle school does not warrant being hit with a car and threatening to send their working mother to jail by framing them for having drugs (especially given that a relatively equal social/sexual event happened to Drea through what some might say is natural karma before Eleanor even got involved for her revenge plot)

I lost my shit when I saw Buffy!

the real question is.. does garret or zach try out paint eating xD love tthis show

When the strike is over please do Clueless it's the best movie of all time. It's so iconic that there is an inspired by Shakespeare adaptation of the entire movie (mean girls has one too) in book format.

THANK YOU, KELSEY!! I loved the movie, but my god the fact that this was supposed to be in South Florida. I'm from there and there's no way!

As an Australian, i can confirm we say the C-word more often and with more confidence than anywhere else! It’s actually often used as a term of endearment😏

Can’t watch this episode for now because I haven’t watched the film yet, but can’t wait for this one. Love the pod!

The 10 Things I Hate About You paint scene!!!
