Hey, everybody, Frank here, I just want to your heads up that in this episode we discussed eating disorder, sexual assault, and regular assault. Listening to bother you want to get this episode of SKIP all right, here we go. Welcome to teen Girl Talk, Gan Girl Talk. I'm Czi Coda, I'm Frank Coda and this week we are talking about bottoms. The movie not the thing we do. You want to say we're bottoms? I mean yeah, we could say we're bottoms. This movie is Wild Bananas and
it was so much fun. This is one of those hyper reality movies where it's like, you know, everybody's taking the like weird things just in stride and as she was like, yeah, this is what's happening. Yeah, And the funny part about it to me is that it's heightened. But I have to believe that there are some places where like football is like this, because that's where I feel like it was really I where they really just let
it kind of go. Zany is around the football stuff. Yeah, it is like there are football players, Like there's a football player taking care of another football players emotional and physical needs, and then there's also one that's treated basically god despite him being in accordable du fis Yes. So, and here
is the thing. I feel like everybody is one thousand percent like on the same page in this movie, which I love is that everybody knows that, like all actors got the memo, this is heightened drama and comedy and just be as weird as you want to be. And did you stay for sort of the outtakes during the credits and so like, even then you get to see some lines that they like ran or sort of tried, and I really enjoyed that too, So we might as well get right into it. Bottoms
centers on PJ and Josie, and they are too lesbian nerds. And what is funny is they're both gorgeous, but the movie wants us to believe, because their clothes are a little nerdy, that they're untalented and ugly, which again, everything is super heightened. So I thought this was very funny because it said still matter of factly, they're like, well, it's okay to
be gay, but she can't be untalented. And so they have or more particularly PJ, because we get a very textbook dynamic of we have PJ, who is sort of the leader, and Josie is like her like partner in their machinations, and their plan for the evening that we meet them is to go to the I think it's like, at first I thought it was like a town fair, but I think it's like a high school fair to benefit
the football team or something. And so Rachel has her eye on Brittany, and Josie has her eye on Isabelle bell is dating Jeff the star football player quarterback, and Brittany is her best friend. And so they get to the fair and they meet Hazel. Hazel, I would say, is also coded as queer. She sort of tags along a lot with PJ and Josie, and her mom is a superintense caricature of a doors say, like she is every evil divorcee we've seen in a Lifetime movie ever, all rolled into one.
I want to say. The thing with Josie and Pj's relationship is like if it was the book Smart relationship, but like a kind of twisted version of it, where yes, like I don't think necessarily twisted, it's like a little bit off, where like they're like because when we start with a book Smart, you know, Caitlin Dever isn't Beanie. Uh I've kind on Her last name is fine Fine Stein. They like, you know, they are so intense in their you know, care and love for each other.
That was I'm sorry. Her last name is Feltsteine. Thank you. Like that, You're like when the you know, the mask kind of falls, You're like, oh, dang, but yeah, that was kind of bubbling unto the surface. This one feels it feels a bit more fraid like, it feels a bit more like I think it's more honest, honestly, Like
I think that best girlfriends are this truthful with one another. Yeah, and it's all done in love, but yeah, they You're truthful to the point that, like your best girlfriend can say stuff to you that nobody else can say. Like it is the epitome of like tough love, honest love, whatever you want to call it. I think that BookSmart shows like an idealized female friendship where we are seeing just this like constant outpouring of like support and
compliments, with like a total codependence on each other. But with PJ and Josie, I feel like it's more honest, right, like where they're critiquing at each other's like plans of how this is going to happen. PJ is more pie in the sky of you know, this is going to be our year, which we've seen and never have I ever. You know, it's all going to change for us. We're coming you know, we're coming back with a new goal. And Josie is like a little more realistic, let's
say, and she's like, no one's gonna look at us. Nobody cares about anything but football, and this is not going to be our year. And this is all happening during a getting ready montage, and once they get
to the fair, the fair is bizarre. Everything is strange, and when PJ approaches Brittany, she doesn't know what to say, and they're like talking about Britney's eating disorder in this way that is both horrifying and really darkly funny, where Britney's like, I have to throw up and PJ said, like, no, I think you need a hot dog with the vun You should just eat it and digest it and poop it out, and Brittany's like gross.
So again there's this sort of and then Josie tries to pay I guess a comparable sort of compliment to Isabel and it comes out, you're a skinny Minnie, a little skinny mini Mini. It's so awkward, so perfectly awkward, it makes perfect sense. While these girls have struck out with other girls brings and so as they're getting ready to leave dejected, we see Isabel and Jeff having an argument. Jeff apparently brushed his hand against the breast of I
believe Hazel's mom, like I think they're arguing about miss Callahan. And so then p J and Josie tell Isabel to get in the car they're getting ready to leave. Jeff won't get out of the way. They obviously can back out of the space, but that doesn't happen. They just move forward enough that, like at an absolute snail's face, that they touched their car bumper to Jeff's knee. Jeff falls on the ground. It's like a complete flop
where he's screaming. And then Tim, who is like his number one hypeman supporter and sort of the arch villain to our two leading ladies, comes over and screams to the heavens water and they're everybody's screaming at this point, the women in the car screaming, Jeff is screaming, Tim is screaming, Isabel calmly gets out of the car and marches away from the whole business. PJ
and Josie take off. Oh and I forgot the most important part. So when Hazel asked them, like what they did with their summer and you know what's sort of going on, they're distracted by the two love interests approaching. So when she says something about a juvie like juvenile detention, PJ offhandedly says, yeah, we were in juvie like obviously sarcastically. Hazel takes this seriously, and this becomes the catalyst for our unwrapping of like sort of unfruling of
events. Just to describe, just to get back to the men, the real focus of this movie, which one of the episode will be titled after. If you've watched the show Daria, remember Kevin dial all of Kevin's worst qualities up to twelve, That is, Jeff. Jeff is dumb. Jeff is a giant baby and a man like body, and he's kind of bitchy. Yeah, and he has a girlfriend that's too smart to date him, but still date him. Brittany deserved better, just throwing out not the Brittany
from this movie, the Brittany from Daria deserved better than Kevin. I hope she found in college. Yeah. The Brittany in this movie really seems to find her sense of self in the fight club. So I'm not worried about that Britty. But the next day he appears on crutches. Oh. It's also gonna be hard to talk about this movie because they PJ and Josie get to school and they find a homophobic slayer written on their lockers. And I only mentioned this because PJ goes, you got number one, and I'm you're
the sidekick. I get number like you should get number two. I'm number one. Yeah, and they're friends of the janitor, who's like, okay, I'll clean it up. And we are under the impression that this is such a regular happenstance that their lockers need to be painted over almost daily. Yeah. So they get to class and their teacher is Marshawn Lynch, the the football player who I only I know him because he was in Brooklyn nine
nine, but he's also on murder Ville. He's so funny on murder vill he hated doing postgame interviews, but they were going to find him if he didn't do them, so he didn't want he did like a press conference and he just sat there and the answer to every question was I'm only here so I don't get fined, which goods for him, Like would you sign up to play a sport, you don't sign up to also be a spokesperson for
whatever. So just if he doesn't want to do it, well, I know he's like very retired and now he is a pretty solid comedy career. But he is great in this because they write his teacher. It's sort of like the most sexist kind of clueless teacher possible. He's going through a divorce. He's consistently paging through a magazine about butts. It's called Divorced and Happy, and it just has a giant picture of a like of a woman's behind on the front of it. Yeah, and his uh, he's the history
teacher, but it's unclear what the curriculum is at any given point. Okay, And in this classroom there is just a football player in a cage, out of focus in the back and never addressed. It's wonderful they don't hang a hat on anything. It's just like you have to be paying attention because there will be sort of completely bizarre comedic beats like this, and they're just
there. This also starts this thing with the football players, and the football players are sitting like they all the tables are pushed together almost this is something whenever they sit together, so it looks like the last supper, like the they we'll get a better shout of this in the cafeteria. But like if it's on crutches for you know, he basically took like a soccer dive. Yeah, no, and he's on crutches, these crutches will immediately disappear when
he gets the practice. Well, he throws them from himself and starts dancing around. Yes, and the the girls get called down to the principal's office. They get called down is the two I think like unpopular, untalented lesbians or something. Yeah, And Prenty's like that sounds like you guys, and it's I mean. The other part I love about this movie is that you have to assume that if they are unpopular, they are like flying under the
radar. But they seem to have sort of notoriety throughout the school already before any of the ensuing film events happen, like everybody knows who they are. And addresses them, whereas in most teen films like this, we see they're one of the main struggles of the main character if they're coded as a nerd, is just to get noticed at all. Yeah, I mean that was also something in Book Smart where people were saying about Beanie Feldstine's character that like
she has a paperback personality or something like that. Yeah, you know, so they get called down to the principal's office. The principal is so aggressive. Everybody in this school is obsessed with the football rivalry that's going on and the school's Huntingdon is it. Yeah, so the Huntingdon rivalry is it goes so far past like regular rivalry. Literally people are being murdered that what the players at each school have to sort of fear is not pranks or goofs,
but actually losing their lives to this rivalry. It's insaneo. Yeah. Well, some of the girls in the class talk about that they've been like openly attacked, like by hauntinging people. And again, this is delivered I don't
know how to put this. It's delivered with the blase attitude that I think, really it's more like real life than movie life because it is not that people who have experienced it or blase, but that it is so commonplace that without kind of the underlying of like music and tone that happens in a film,
like people really do. I also just finished Bad Feminists by Roxanne Gay, So like, I've been thinking a lot about this, like the language that we use around sexual assault, and so in this movie, they kind of get the tone where the women are like, what are we gonna do? We get attacked? Period, and so then and no one at the school seems to care about this. No one cares about the violence. They only care about the rivalry. But again, in a way that's like missing
the point, which I think is a very intentional choice. Yeah, so I've also been I also read the Elliott Page memoir and like, yeah, the ship he has to deal with is just constant. Yeah yeah, but I haven't even gotten to the David Age part. I mean, we're all on my field of abi David Cage, but apparently David cages in the book and it's even worse. So but yeah, the girls convinced the principle they're starting a fight club. Well, first they call it a self defense club.
This is sort of like a hail Mary thrown by Josie at the moment that the principle is done speaking to them, because PJ has no chill, and it's just like, this is ridiculous. The school's ridiculous. Jeff is ridiculous, and the principle is like most principles and these kind of football obsessed schools in media. I don't know, I've never attended a football school. So that he is more upset about their chances at the upcoming game than he
is about like it's happening to the women in the school. And so then when they start to form, they send the word out and then six other students show up, and PJ, walking into the gym, says that only sixes have shown up. And Hazel had promised that she was going to bring her family friend Stella Rebecca, who models and works at car shows. That's kind of the underlining that happens, or the I guess title that follows her name, and she can't make it. She had the last minute car show,
so undoingly funny. I'm just like, oh, this car show's popping up, gotta go. It's an emergency. Yeah, it's a car show emergency. And we see some of the car shows. She works out later and it is bleak so good. Oh yeah, I just want to say that PJ and Josie like the reason, like PJ is upset about the sixes being there, is because they want to use this as a way to have
sex with cheerleaders. That is their whole plan. Yeah, And they discuss this bluntly in front of Hazel and hazels like, is that like a great plan or but they go ahead with it anyway. I feel so bad for Hazel. It's truly like they're super dismissive of Hazel. Hazel is kind of the sidekick, I guess you would say, to their hijinks, and she gets sort of short shrift even though she really is like the secretary and organizer
of the fight club. They oh, go ahead, I was gonna say it, like, so I read the like, you know, I'll get to it when we get to that point. Why don't you say what you're gonna say? I'm sorry, Oh no, just that they they need to find a sponsor to the club because Annie tells them, you know, we'll be suspended and the club will be disbarred if we don't find a sponsor to the club, and then they're like, oh boy, who are we going to get? They literally say, who would be dumb enough to sponsor a
fight club? So they tell mister g Marshawn Lynch's character that it's a menstruation club, and he and they're like, you don't even need to show up. It's actually better if you don't show up. Get a hobby, but then don't do that hobby. And so he again is going through a divorce and as like he's trying to figure out, you know, what to do with himself. Now he's like, yeah, I will sponsor your club,
and so they're like, okay, great. The next meeting of the club, TJ is giving the rules about how you can't be late for any reason and this is serious, and as she is like really drilling down that lateness
is just never ever ever accepted. Isabelle and Brittany wandering and someone points out, like, but they're late, and she's like, no, no does account doesn't matter and unimportant, and so isabel thanks them for defending her against Jeff's bullshit, and then Brittany says, well, my personality is tied directly to her, so wherever she goes, I go and again it's delivered just completely straight faced and you know, sort of like without any any winkiness if
you will. I alsno't want to point out that before PJ starts, like she's like hammering a mop on the ground to get their attention, and before this, everybody just kind of like fuxing around of all the super fung gym equipment, like those little rollie platforms that like always came out like on special days and the gym teachers could be bothered to do so they're like little scooters almost. Yeah. I actually looked into buying those at one point, but
I was like, what would I do? Besides, I only hurt myself with this. You would have to scoot down on the street. Yeah. And I also looked into buying one of the giant parachutes, but you'd have to be like in front of your house on the street. Yeah. Well, so I loot that dream go by. So you decided not to weird out your neighbors. Yeah, I mean, who am I going to parachute with? You live with two other people. That's enough people to parachute,
is it? Yes? Anyway, So they start the fight club and we get a you know, nice montage of the girls just really just giving it to each other, just like punching each other and kicking, and it like it looks like though they're you know, like despite PJ and Josie's true intentions, the girls look like they're learning to actually fight and fight well, well, Hazel knows a couple of different martial arts techniques, I think. Yeah.
And we see mister Jets teach a class on feminism and he has like a multiple choice question on the father who started fetalism, Gloria steinem a man another woman. Yeah, oh my god. There's one really good feminism joke towards like towards the end that when we get there, I'll say it, but it's so good, the Amelia or Her one. No, okay, so just the gem ahead a little bit. The secret is eventually revealed of the true intentions of the club and somebody shouts out, you guys are just
doing this for yourselves. The second wave all over again. Yes, And I just lost my mind of that joke, Like that is so spot on and good. I love the Amelia Earhart one where he's like, what do you think I'm not an ally because I said Amelia Earhart it's a fake hero. Plenty of men have flown planes without crashing them. We don't talk about them, which is like one of those jokes were like, I don't want
to laugh, but it's pretty funny. There's actually a bit like that on A thirty Rock when Liz is dating Matt Damon as a pilot and Jack is like, I love to pick your brain about like you know, I'm developing a made for TV movie about Sully Sullenberger. And he's like, yeah, big whoop. Like he hits some birds. You know what I do every day. I don't hit birds. That's my job, not hitting birds.
Oh my god. Which is a pretty brave joke for like something I think it happened that Joe came out like a like a year after Sully is like the miracle on the huts of him. Yeah. I mean. The other part is it's like in based in New York and yeah, it was in the Hudson River. So eventually, like and we keep seeing Ruby and her actor's name is Ruby Cruz. We keeps seeing Hazel come home and her mom is just very confused. What Hazel isn't talking to her and what she also
I guess looks beat up all the time as a bloody knows. She comes home and she sees the girls or she here's her mom in a compromise position, and then like her mom comes out, and then Jeff follows her out and asks for a snack because he's like he's an idiot. Yeah, and he's just in a jockstrap. It's a lot, and Hazel's like what the fuck. Hazel basically goes into a few state yeah, to the point like the next day, like PJ and Joe's like, what is going on with
you? She's like, my mom was having sex with the guy uh with the catching and like she can't just say it with Jeff, and then like she would you want to say that? No, if if I was in that universe at that school, I would do whatever I could get to put at least three zip codes in between me and Jeff at all times. Jeff is a menace. Jeff is very allergic to pineapple, and at one point, a lunch lady tries to hand him a fruit cup and Tim smacks it
out of her hand and says, Jeff cannot have pineapple. And there is a huge poster on the wall that says Jeff cannot have pineapple, and then Jeff's has the lunch lady to like eat a dick or something. It's like really intense. This is what I'm saying about, like everything being dialed up all the way or dialed down all the way. Yeah, And like the outtake shows a bunch of different like a different like insultsly through the lunch lady. Yeah. So for a lunch lady just trying to do her job.
So Isabelle and Josie go out. They tell Isabelle, no excuse. Isabelle and Josie like go out to eat, and Josie, let's it's you know, let's isabel Now, hey, your boyfriend's cheating on you with Hazel's mom, And like, I want to give it to Isabel's actress. Like she charges into school the next day. Yeah, like and like she brings like an amount of threat with her that I found astonishing. Yeah, And she's
just like, are you cheating on the name of Hazel's mom? And well he's like no, I'm like, I know I cheated in the past, but I when not cheat on you again. And Hazel's like I saw you like three days ago, and he goes shut up, Nerd, I fucked your mom. Yeah, it's so funny. Yeah, it's so awful. It's so funny. This is not a polite movie. So and it's like I ki't, like, I can't. The whole time I was watching it, I was are they really saying that? Is this really happening? So
they decide to get back at Jeff. They TP and toilet paper his has Hazel has suggested making a bomb, a little bomb, and DJ again sarcastically, not realizing that Hazel is maybe not as sort of dialed into the sarcasm a is PJ would need her to be, said, Yeah, Hazel, we're going to be terrorists. Yeah, well let's go commit an act of terrorism. Wait Hazel heard as absolutely make a bomb. Yeah, And okay,
I do want to give some warnings about this movie. There is mentions like they make a joke about school attacks and also I don't know if you've called a joke, but there's that they do a circle in the gym where they like talk about like who here has been socially assaulted and nobody raised their hands, and like gray stuff counts with all of them raise their hands, and it's just you know, those parts maybe a bit uncomfortable. I just
want to let people know about that. So I mean, and I think that this is where the comedy works with hand in hand with the serious subject
matter so well. Is that we are seeing these characters live their life and do wacky things and go through completely normal what I guess what would be considered like normal high school drama, and then there's this like very heavy and the subject matter of assault is both spoken about, I think societally too casually and not enough, which I know doesn't make any sense, but it's the way
that these women relate. And later Hazel says that she is spoken over, but it says, you know that this group gave me something during a time where I was really struggling, and how important that is to her. I think those are the moments that the movie lets itself kind of touch seriousness. And obviously assault is like a hugely serious and traumatizing subject matter, but I think that this movie talks about it in a way that other movies are really
scared too, where it's like this horrible thing that happens to women. We are not going to pretend it's a one off. It is commonplace, and it is terrible, and the first step solving that is to acknowledge that it is commonplace and it is terrible. It does not need to be one of the other. It's the idea that this is it's just like bad luck or this one time. It is such a misnomer, and I really appreciate that.
The movie is like, guess what, the truth sucks, and these teens just have to deal with it, you know, in a school that does nothing that lets the men run wild in I would say, a situation that's only slightly exaggerated from real life. Yeah. Well, the thing is also some of the girls talk about why they're there. Hazel's cousin, I forget, what is her name? What is it? Stellar Rebecca? Yeah, Stellar Rebecca is you know, like they're they're jokes, but they're also
legitimate threats that you know, women have to deal with. Like she's like, I can finally start stalking my my stalker backer. Yeah, and this is kind of stoner kid, excuse me, stoner girl whose name I forget, who just keeps shouting yes Queen Sligh Sylvie who's like, I'm gonna kill my stepdad, and like, you know what, the funny thing is I
heard that. I'm like, probably has a comment like, well she I mean, she insinuates later that not so much insinuates, but basically all right, talks about that there has definitely been some like really untoward behavior from her stepdad. So you know, uh so to get back back into like this hopefully more like heart Fair. With this movie, PJ and Josie both kind of have dates with the girls they have crushes on, and Isabelle Jay is
studying with Brittany in her beautiful room. Yeah, and she tries to kiss Brittany and Brittany is just like, oh, no, I'm straight, and it doesn't PJ something say something like no, you're not like her, Like no, She's just kind of like, oh okay, yeah, okay. I thought that Kayaker we was the daughter of Cindy Crawford. There were so many scenes in this movie where when she was just sort of like listening or looking at something, I was like, damn, she looks exactly like Cindy
Crawford. Yeah, basically this was your straight at the Compton moment, got they got a guy who really looks looks like ice Cube because it's his son. It is literally his son and then he's holding himself as a baby, and I'm like, that's a time paradox ice Cube. But I don't know
if I've ever explained that joke. When you play Medagar Solid three, which came out after all the other Middle Gear Solid games, you know there are certain characters like this guy named Revolver as Alot that if you kill him in the past, you get a game over and the colonel goes snake. You create a time paradox, so you just can't kill you know, one solve a lot of problems. So but Josie, on the other hand, with Isabelle problems by the way, time travel murder. Oh, that doesn't make
me feel hopeful. Frank, h I'm trying to think of how I solve problems, but a lot of problems remain unsolved in my life. So you're like, you want to know how I solve problems. I don't. I mean, I try my best, but you know, sometimes things don't work out, problems are not always solved. Yeah, sometimes you just gotta got
to learn how to live with it and try your best every day. There you go spends of encouragement from Frank, but Josie and Isabelle make it happen, and like Josie comes at the school next day, high fives the janitor, and but PJ is annoyed that like she is, you know, she did not get with Brittany. This leads to her lashing at it Hazel in like one of the meanest ways I think we've seen in a movie. Yeah, she just tells Hazel like, you have no friends and you're hanging around
us all the time, and what do you want for me? Yeah. Meanwhile, Tim is like upset that Isabelle is not with Jeff and he wants to like basically end the girls fight club to you know, bring that to an end. But he's like, I gotta figure out what's going on because Tim is like one of the actual smart people in this movie. I mean Tim is literally going through machinations. Yeah, so, uh, he sees Hazel upset and he talks to Hazel. Then there's a pep rally and the
cheerleader's performance is just one girl steps up. They're wearing It's just like a wet teaser content. I don't need to go to any more detail. But girls literally just pours water on herself and that's it. And like there's no like none of the other stuff that it actually really cracked. Yeah, I mean it did it ever? Was just like yeah, and then just like spend the rest of that scene. Wet is it Isabelle? I thought it was that was a different girl. Oh is it stellar? Rebecca? Rebecca?
It might be so stellar. Rebecca just has an entire bottle of water on her now. Yeah. And Tim, on the other hand, like calls out PJ and Josie's fake self defense class. Everybody immediately turns on them, even though they were like high fiving people in the holes and stuff like earlier that day. Yeah. Like we also got a lot of shots of like, you know, all the girls with like you know, brazzil on their face and whatnot. Britney is like really loving the fight colorb Lifestyle.
Yeah, they also have Hazel fight a wrestler. So they tell Hazel she's gonna fight PJ, and then they like bait and switch her and now she used to fight. I think it might have been the football player who is in the cage. I'm not sure. Yeah, well they let him out of a cage and I see what happens is that what happens is I read certain movies like to see if there's parts where I need to close my eyes or you know that are you're gonna be too much for me. I'm a
delicate flower. He's delicate. And I saw that, like, Hazel was going to fight this guy, and I'm like, oh no, I hope really, I love Lasel so much. I hope nothing bad happened, Sir. Hazel puts up a damn good fight. Yes, I honestly thought she was gonna win. Yeah, but the problem is then they had him kick her in the face. It is brutal. It's like that. You know
that brought me back to Assassination Nation. Yes, well, just the shoot and this whole movie has a Assassination Nation vibe to it, except like an Assassination Nation, it was much more threatening and much less lighthearted Assassination Nation.
I love that movie. When I was managing at the movie theater, it was on my name teg is my favorite movie, and two different men I worked with at the movie theater were like, I watched it, and that movie is too much for me. Just to give you an idea of the vibe of that whole whole film, Well, there's there's that scene where like the men are breaking into that house and like it's terrifying. Yeah, well
I've locked my doors that night. The fear is palpable. I hope you are locking your doors every night, Frank, not just the night you watched assassination name I locked them every night, But like I was scared after that. So the girl like Isabelle's upset with Josie, you know, their secrets real. This is where we get the line is it's just like second wave feminism. Mr G is also upset. He's like, I was trying to be an allied to you. You know, this is just like women.
You think they like the sea foam backslash and then they leave you for a guy named Tony and now the kitchen is lime green that PJ says, I think this has kind of gotten away from us. Yeah, and also like he says some very raphically sexual things to them about like how they're not going to be able to like have sex with women basically, and she says,
do you think you should be saying this to us students? Yeah? So he So we're gonna get into the consequences of all this after we take a quick trip to the bake sale PJ and Josie get into a fight, not a physical fight, because like I suposifiye that for this movie. Yeah, and they've already gotten into a physical fight. Yeah. Josie is like, you know, calling out PJ because PJ is upset that she didn't get what
she wanted. And well, like we just see the aftermath, like Isabelle gets back together with Jeff when he brings her like flowers, I'm assuming he stole from like somebody's front yard. Definitely, Uh did they cut to dead? The fight club is gathered at somebody's house to watch TV while he's a little just passed out, like I think it's a Hazel's has Hazel is like convalescing, yeah, put her face is a little bloody like Hazel. Yeah, Josie and PJ are not talking to each other. I forget what they
write on PJ Josie's lockers. It's not a slur this time. I think it's like Harlott or something. I don't remember. But the jen the I have a cat running around everyone. I'm yelling at me and the janitor no it the janitor I believe his name is Theodore, And they're like come on and he just shakes his head at them. He is also disappointed in the
decisions they've made. Yeah, So Josie goes to talk to her foreign babysitter played by Punky Johnson, and the babysitter basically is like, people are going to die tonight at the football game between Huntington and your school, and so Josie decides that she needs to stop it. She gets together with PJ, who is just like, why would I try and save anyone in this dumbtown. I'm leaving ta Yeah, and also she's like, I hate Jeff, and so Josie tells her like, basically, this is their chance to turn
hero. So when they get on the field, Josie finds the empty buckets of pineapple juice and Huntington's. No one from the Huntington's side has shown up, and they point out that this is suspicious and they decide they needed distraction. Hazel is like, I have They apologize to Hazel. PJ specifically apologizes to Hazel for how awful she's been, and then Hazel tries to set up a bomb. It does not go off, and we see the goth kid character kind of being like, rats, that's my whole thing, and then
they pj and Hazel kiss and everyone's like kind of it to it. But then Huntington shows up and they that's when Josie makes the connection that they probably put the pineapple juice in the sprinkler. Yeah, so they stop the football
game like because they see the splinkers pop up. Josie throws Jeff over her shoulders and runs him off the field, and the football team goes with you know, goes to be with Jeff, and that just leaves the girls with the Huntington football players and we get a just you know, two sides running out each other into battle, and then the girls proceed to either knock out or kill most of the football Huntington, like the Sylvie kills somebody of a
sword. At one point, like they throw Isabelle into the air and she comes down and just punches another football player in the face. It is graphic. Yeah. And then at the end, like one football players left, and I think Josie kills him with like an axe kick or something. She like basically crushes his face. Yeah, And like their their schools to clear
the winners because hunting and lost by forfeit by being dead or maimed. Yes, and like the girls celebrate, Isabelle and Josie get back together, and it pills like you could have just asked me out, like yeah, She's like you really did not have to pour of a fight club. You know. That's when the that's when Hazel's bomb goes off, and you know,
then there's the mascot wandering around with a giant fallas. And I only bring that up because I was like, yeah what yeah again, They're like, Nope, we are not gonna like they put too fine a point on anything. We're done here. Yeah, we're leaving. We paid money for that fallace, We're leaving. Yeah, so goodness. Obviously we recommend this movie. There are potentially triggering things discussed, of obviously, but it is it is kind of a romp. Uh, I'll via a definitively rated our romp.
Yes like it. I also recommend it. It's just like Wells the Bass, some of the stuff they talked about, yes, like the the the to put it simplate, like book Smart was nice. This movie is like you were being naughty. We're like we're having fun and saying the bad words. Yeah, it's I mean, book Smart came out with five six years ago. Yeah, this is you know, the updated the now. This this is our post COVID world. Everything is completely out of control and
people are maniacs period. When mentioning Beanie Feldstein and like virgins of this movie reminded me of Beanie Feldstein is on What We Do in the Shadows for a few episodes and her Naja, the female vampire of the main cast, is like teaching her how to be a vampire. And at one point, like she's like looking into this window at like Beanie's larpin group, she goes,
I don't want to eat these these virgins, they are too sad. Good is one of my favorite nogalant, not just my favorite character on the entire show. Yeah, she seems to be pretty popular from what I've seen on tumbler. Yeah. I don't want to mention what she says. I don't want to make fun of people named Jeff, But like she makes fun of somebody named Jeff, and you mind me it is a chef in this movie. That's funny.
