Matt's drinking haterade and Sage sees stars as we review the 2024 movie adaptation of the 2017 Broadway musical adaptation of the 2004 hit movie Mean Girls, originally adapted from the 2002 self-help book Queen Bees and Wannabes. One of our most fun episodes in awhile filled with debate, strong opinions, and a nice 20 minute bunny trail segment on the rules of friendship and best friend traits!
