Episode 496: "Mean Girls," "The Settlers," and "Good Grief"

 

There’s no way to scrub quickly through the previous 495-ish episodes to find out, but it’s possible we’ve never had two movies featured in the main episode that are so tonally at odds. First, Megan talks about MEAN GIRLS (2:01), the new music based on the Broadway musical, which is based on the 2017 musical, which is based on the 2004 film, which is based on the 2002 book Queen Bees and Wannabes? Then there’s THE SETTLERS (10:29), a movie so gruesome in its depictions of genocidal violence in 1901 Chile that Dave can’t stop nervous-laughing throughout (even though it’s an exceptionally well-made movie). Finally, there’s GOOD GRIEF (29:12), which, as Evan points out, is not a Charlie Brown biopic, but Dan Levy’s new comedy-drama. Over on Patreon, we talk about STARK TREK II: THE WRATH OF CHEKOV, so check that out!
