86. Geek Charming: A Reverse She’s All That (with Special Guest Helen)

Ah and over here we have one of the most dangerous species in the animal kingdom, the popular high school rich girl. Be careful listeners, one wrong look and she could destroy your entire social life. Okay so maybe this movie isn’t about filming a nature documentary but it’s about a documentary so I had to take the opportunity. That’s right we’re getting our cameras rolling and preparing our acceptance speeches as we continue 2011 on the DCOM train with the modern (at the time) take on a teen movie by discussing Geek Charming. Though we aren’t alone in this discussion as we welcome brand new guest to the podcast Helen to help us tackle this movie and the hidden depth to it. Jake calls out Netflix, Kate volunteers to take on the pitch that Josh didn’t, Helen explains how she learned about cinema from this movie, and all of them discuss possible topics that a paper on this film could explore. We also give our quick thoughts on Camp Rock 3 actually being real. This episodes tangents include but are not limited to: Helen’s quick thoughts on Starstruck, A tease of a longer Florida trip recap episode, A quick look forward to the Teen Beach Movies, Modern Family vs modern streaming services, How Sarah Hyland is thriving, Our memories of mall culture, Real life encounters with the popular table, A deep dive into the kitchen sink, Our cringey high school dating stories, and Our pitch for Geek Charming the Musical.
