Hey y'all. Welcome back to Flicks Before Dicks from a short hiatus while I lost my mind over...guess what? ANOTHER MF! Anyways, this episode is all about another one of Kennedy's favorite films, 13 Going on 30, where we are all down bad over Mark Ruffalo and some middle school cringe moments like Kennedy describing how to stuff a bra and Alex breaking down 7 Minutes in Heaven.  We also dish on how rom-coms, including this one, are always doing its leads dirty by just having them end up with a man and NOTHING ELSE, and the power of shooting your shot!
