Mean Girl Movies - Do You Even Binge? Ep 53This week, we’re pulling back the curtain on Mean Girl movies to explore how hollywood viewed the high school clique genre, from being the bully to being bullied and the evolution of becoming the "it girl." The Lineup: Heathers (1989): Written by Daniel Waters and directed by Michael Lehmann, this film follows four popular girls and the outcasts caught in their orbit, exploring the grim reality of high school social hierarchy. Jawbreaker (1999): Written and directed by Darren Stein, this dark comedy focuses on an exclusive clique of socialites attempting to cover up an accidental murder during a birthday prank. Mean Girls (2004): Written by Tina Fey and directed by Mark Waters (brother of Heathers writer Daniel Waters), this film adapts the nonfiction book Queen Bees and Wannabes into a quintessential exploration of cliques and bullying. In this episode: Heathers: Winona Ryder’s struggle as Veronica, her relationship with the mysterious JD, the rise of Heather Duke, and the unintended consequences of their plan for retribution. Jawbreaker: The "Four Flawless Ones," the accidental death of Liz, and how outcast Fern Mayo is transformed into the popular "Vylette" as part of a cover-up, leading to internal conflict and power struggles within the group. Mean Girls: The journey of Cady, a formerly homeschooled teen, as she navigates the complex social rules of the Plastics, the influence of outcasts Janis and Damian, the impact of the "Burn Book," and the eventual fallout of her social infiltration.Hear about Felipe's tour dates, new merch drops & more by signing up @ http://felipesworld.comSubscribe to Do You Even Binge? on YouTube to catch all the clips we reference in our video version.Follow us on IGFelipe – @FelipeEsparzaComedianLesa – @LesainLA Executive Producers: Felipe Esparza & Lesa EsparzaProducer: Rommel SunigaMusic: Isaak WintringhamStream “Do You Even Binge” everywhere: Spreaker | Spotify | Apple Podcasts | YouTubeFelipe Esparza is a comedian and actor, known for his stand-up specials, “They’re Not Gonna Laugh at You”, “Translate This”, and his latest dual-release on Netflix, “Bad Decisions/Malas Decisiones” (2 different performances in two languages), his recurring appearances on Netflix’s “Gentefied”, NBC’s “Superstore” and Adultswim’s “The Eric Andre Show”, as well as winning “Last Comic Standing” (2010), and his popular podcast called “What’s Up Fool?”.
