Mean Girls, directed by Mark Waters and written by Tina Fey, is a cult classic teen comedy based on Rosalind Wiseman's book Queen Bees and Wannabes. The film humorously yet accurately portrays the harsh realities of high school social dynamics, focusing on cliques, peer pressure, and the impact of popularity on self-identity. The story follows Cady Heron, a homeschooled girl navigating the cutthroat social hierarchy of public high school life after moving from Africa. As she infiltrates "The Plastics," the school's most popular clique, Cady faces a moral dilemma that tests her values, self-image, and relationships. Though often comedic, the movie sheds light on serious issues like bullying, conformity, and the challenges of adolescence. In this episode, Kevin Stoller, Nancy Shapiro Rapport, and Steven Shapiro discuss the movie through the lens of parenting and education. They explore the challenges faced by kids and parents in today's society, particularly focusing on the mental health crisis and the breakdown of family structures. The conversation delves into character analyses, the impact of school environments, and the importance of emotional health in raising children.   Takeaways: Consistent, intentional conversations about values and behavior are essential for raising resilient, emotionally healthy children. Small, deliberate actions can lead to significant, long-term results. A strong family culture, built on open communication and shared values, can help children navigate social pressures and define their identity. Parents need to engage in ongoing discussions about kindness, respect, and self-worth. Technology has fundamentally changed how teens communicate and form relationships. Setting boundaries around device use and fostering in-person connections can help counteract the isolating effects of screen time. Adolescence is a time of self-discovery, and social interactions can be intense and confusing. Understanding the pressures teens face helps parents provide better support. Schools can support parents by reinforcing positive behaviors and values, while communities can provide a support network for parents navigating the challenges of raising children. Comedy can be an effective way to connect with teens, understand their world, and initiate meaningful conversations. Movies like Mean Girls use humor to highlight real issues in adolescence.     About Steven Shapiro: Steven Shapiro is a veteran school reimaginer, with over 30 years of K-12 classroom teaching experience, 15 concurrent years as a high school humanities program director, and four years as a district leader of experiential learning. Steven is the host of the acclaimed podcast Experience Matters. He delivers keynote presentations on topics including supporting parents in the digital age, addressing the youth mental health crisis, and designing authentic learning experiences. Steven and his wife Susan are the proud parents of three adult children.   About Nancy Shapiro Rapport: Nancy spent the majority of her 34-year public-education career as a school counselor, supporting students and parents in navigating the challenging “middle years.” Her leadership roles in professional development and crisis management showcased her ability to identify needs, empathize with various stakeholders, and deliver results. As a certified Hudson Institute coach, Nancy has extensive training in coaching and human development. She has taught courses on learner mindset and question thinking, helping adults pursue a life of curiosity, inquiry, and possibility. Nancy brings a wealth of experience in both child and adult learning to her role as co-founder of Our Family Culture. Most importantly, she is the proud parent of two adult children, Emily and Jacob.     Learn More About Our Family Culture: Website: https://ourfamilyculture.org/     Connect with Steven Shapiro: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/steve-shapiro-experience-matters/   Connect with Nancy Shapiro Rapport: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nancysrapport/   Connect with host, Kevin Stoller: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevinstoller/     Episode 226 of the Better Learning Podcast Kevin Stoller is the host of the Better Learning Podcast and Co-Founder of Kay-Twelve, a national leader for educational furniture.

Today, we're doing things a little different here on Gratitudeology... we've done an "episode swap" with our pals over at the Campside Media crew and will be bringing you an episode of the show they produce in partnership with Sony, called Infamous. I'm personally a huge fan of the show, and this particular episode is a fun one that may just reframe the way you think about high school...You probably know Tina Fey's iconic camp masterpiece, Mean Girls—but do you know the real-life story behind the screenplay? In this episode, Vanessa and Natalie talk to Zoe Nightingale, the original Regina George, about high school. They also talk to Zoe's sister, Rosalind Wiseman, a sociologist who wrote Queen Bees and Wannabees, the deeply-researched sociological tome that inspired the movie.Follow Infamous on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/infamous/id1652941051Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Don sits down with comedian and content creator Suzanne Lambert, the internet's favorite “Regina George” liberal who isn't here to play nice. Suzanne is taking off the gloves and showing us exactly what it means to fight fire with fire. Plus, in a hilariously spot-on demonstration, she walks us through her signature MAGA girl makeup look—a transformation you won't want to miss. Buckle up, because this one's going to be savage.

Betches co-founder Sami Sage joins Alyssa Mastromonaco to discuss the MAGA madness from RFK Jr.'s anti-SSRI crusade to the DOGE-fueled staffing purges. Then they have a sani-petty extravaganza with Suzanne Lambert, aka liberal Regina George, and senior producer Caroline Reston. They feel petty about the Elon Musk Ashley St. Clair baby drama and White Lotus theme music, but Jack Shlossberg's social media return is keeping them sane!For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

In this episode, Kim sits down with Suzanne Lambert, the self-proclaimed Liberal Regina George, for a reminder in these unserious times: don't get mad—get mean. Once a conservative princess and President of the Young Republicans, Suzanne has since traded pearl-clutching for b*tch-slapping. Now, she's here to spill the tea on America's latest identity crisis and favorite pastime: hypocrisy—aka praying the gay away until it's time to come out of the closet.From glucose grifters like Matt Gaetz to the biggest clowns in politics, Kim and Suzanne break down who's running the circus. And despite popular opinion, America loves rich people. They unpack why you can't rebrand sexism as DEI and why the loudest pro-lifers always seem to need “a little vacation.” Kim's biggest takeaway? You're not a sugar baby if he's booking you on Spirit.Follow Suzanne - HERERead "Democracy in Retrograde" - HERESubmit Your Confessions - HERELET'S BE FRIENDS...STEP 1 : Give us a 5-STAR reviewSTEP 2: Follow RLBG on Instagram - HERESTEP 3: Join the RLBG Community for access to exclusive events & LIVE girl talks - HERESTEP 4: Follow the International Pop Star "SlimKim" on TIKTOK & INSTAGRAM

In the 2000s & 2010s, the Terrifying Teen Girl - from Jennifer's Body's Jennifer to Mean Girls' Regina George to Thirteen's Tracy & Evie and beyond - started taking back her power in movies and tv by getting to tell her *own* story. The teen girl had become a rather terrifying force in movies and tv at the end of the 20th century – adults just couldn't understand what was going on with teens, and so this fearful, outsider perspective informed on screen portrayals. But as the 2000s and 2010s rolled around, the terrifying teen girl on screen began to enter a new, more powerful phase. These stories actually grappled with the harsh, conflicting realities that teen girls have to deal with (and many felt much more real because now they were actually written by people who had, y'know, actually experienced being a teen girl instead of just outside observers. From lack of control to oversexualization to the intricacies of war in Girl World, these teens were constantly being pushed to the edge – but they were always up for the challenge.

Why are you so obsessed with me!? In episode 111 of Overthink, Ellie and David untangle envy, jealousy, and admiration, in everything from Sigmund Freud to Regina George. They think through the role of envy in social media and status regulation alongside Sara Protasi's The Philosophy of Envy, and investigate the philosophical lineage of this maligned emotion. Does the barrage of others' achievements on social media lead to ill-will or competitive self-improvement? Why do we seek to deny our own envies? And how might Freud's questionable theory of 'penis envy' betray the politics of how we assign and deflect desire?Works DiscussedAristotle, RhetoricBasil of Caesarea, On EnvyChristine de Pizan, City of LadiesJustin D'arms, Envy in the Philosophical TraditionSigmund Freud, Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality, “Analysis Terminable and Interminable”Luce Irigaray, This Sex Which is Not OnePlato, PhilebusPlutarch, Moralia, “Of Envy and Hatred”Sara Protasi, The Philosophy of EnvyMax Scheler, RessentimentGenesis 4, Exodus 20Snow White (1937)Mean Girls (2004)Overthink epiosdes60.

Get in, loser. When we're in-between seasons and don't have time for a full personal picks, we turn to our old favourite, the musical! And what better musical from one this year, Mean Girls (2024) which they tried to desperately to hide its musical nature! New student Cady Heron is welcomed into the top of the social food chain by the elite group of popular girls called ‘The Plastics,' ruled by the conniving queen bee Regina George and her minions Gretchen and Karen. However, when Cady makes the major misstep of falling for Regina's ex-boyfriend Aaron Samuels, she finds herself prey in Regina's crosshairs. As Cady sets to take down the group's apex predator with the help of her outcast friends Janis and Damian, she must learn how to stay true to herself while navigating the most cutthroat jungle of all: high school. (Sourced from Letterboxd) With the original film being a seminal film of all of their upbringing, will this remake be top of the plastics or written in the burn book? Does this film even go here? Another reference from the film? All this and more and a thorough discussion of Whānau Marama: New Zealand International Film Festival, shout out to the team that made it happen!

YES. FINE. MY SISTER WROTE A FUCKING HORRIBLE BOOK EXPOSING ALL MY SECRETS ABOUT HOW I WAS ABLE TO MANIPULATE AND CONTROL PEOPLE IN MIDDLE AND HIGHSCHOOL - FINE. But i didn't want to take responsibility for the narrative that Tina Fey made me into and I refused to look at my behavior because it was what i need to do to surivive in the fanciest school - with peiple who worshiped money and power and I felt like i had no money and power because my father lost all our money when i was little and then my mom had to leave me so she could save our house and keep me in the trappings of private education and my sister had to go to college to learn how to survive and I was left alone and I was terrified and lonely and had no access to the money that everyone else had so in order to not literally want to kill myself i learned like a evil computer how to be the loudest person in the room so in case they ever found out my shame I could silence them with a look. I have spent my life trying to be different and quell the regina that i made in my head and only look out for people who champion light and have truama so i could sit with them and let them know that their story matteried to me and i think it was because i felt undeserving of my mother still loving me and no displin8ng me and letting me run rampant and terrorize unsupervised and always holding my hand no matter what. I learned alot abut my past when i did acid in the woods surrounded by my family and acid showed me the truth about the sexual trauma I had experienced and domination from men i had endured and why i canm't remember anything and i live only in the now because the shame of how i had to live and how unahppy i was afraid it made my family was to much to bear and still show my sahme publically because i htught eventually they would leave me and i would lose the only thing i had my sister and mother.  I am sorry. I am ready to sit quiter and learn new skills so i can continue to do the light i was born to do and kill the inner critic that i created to make sure i could cntrol my own narrative but it's over. Shes dead for me. Inclusivity is in, cliques are out. SO GET IN THE UNIVERSAL MAGIC SCHOOL BUS LOSERS - ITS TIME TO HEAL. 

On the Saturday July 27, 2024 edition of The Richard Crouse Show we meet Natalie Shaw who stars as Cady Heron in the touring, musical production of the show that touches down in Toronto at The Royal Alexandra Theatre from July 30 - August 25, 2024. You remember the story… Cady Heron may have grown up on an African savanna, but nothing prepared her for the vicious ways of her strange new home: suburban Illinois. Soon, this naïve newbie falls prey to a trio of lionized frenemies led by the charming but ruthless Regina George. But when Cady devises a plan to end Regina's reign, she learns the hard way that you can't cross a Queen Bee without getting stung. Then, we'll meet three-time Academy Award nominee for Best Actor Viggo Mortensen. From his film debut in 1985's “Witness” to the “Lord of the Rings” movies that made him a superstar to his more recent work, like the Oscar winning “Green Book,” he has been a constant, welcome presence on screens for 40 years. Joins me today as the writer, director, star, and composer of “The Dead Don't Hurt,” a great new Western now available on all major platforms for Digital Purchase and Digital Rental. Then, we'll meet Willie Poll. She is the director of education for the Moose Hide Campaign, an organization focused on ending violence against women and children. But today we're here to talk about her new book for children, “My Little Ogichidaa: An Indigenous Lullaby.”

Mean Girls' Regina George is one of pop culture's most iconic high school villains. Perhaps the worst thing about Regina is that what's horrible about her is actually what's… true. Regina was a menace because she understood some pretty dark fundamental truths about the world, and the fact that she was right about them underlines some major problems in society. So let's take a deeper look at what Regina, unfortunately, got right in her outlook on life (and why it's so important that society, like Regina, learns to change for the better.)

We are reviewing the 1991 novel "Vampire Diaires", written by LJ Smith and the inspiration behind the 2009 show "Vampire Diaries!" Book-version Elena is very different than TV-show Elena, mainly being that she's a complete bleach-blonde-Regina-George-mean-girl, and as the reader we're supposed to get behind that....? She literally calls other students at her school "peasants" and flagrantly brags about using boys like toys.

Taylor reviews  the 2024 teen musical comedy film, Mean Girls, directed by Samantha Jayne and Arturo Perez Jr. from a screenplay by Tina Fey. It is based on the stage musical of the same name, which in turn was inspired by the 2004 film of the same name, both written by Fey, and based on the 2002 book Queen Bees and Wannabes by Rosalind Wiseman. New student Cady Heron gets welcomed into the top of the social food chain by an elite group of popular girls called the Plastics, ruled by the conniving queen bee Regina George. However, when Cady makes the major misstep of falling for Regina's ex-boyfriend, she soon finds herself caught in their crosshairs. It stars Angourie Rice, Reneé Rapp, Auliʻi Cravalho, Christopher Briney, Tina Fey, Jenna Fischer, Jon Hamm, Busy Phillips and Tim Meadows Follow us on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thepotentialpodcast/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thepotentialpodcastTwitter: https://twitter.com/thepotentialpodSupport us on Patreon:patreon.com/thepotentialpodcastThanks to our sponsors: BetterHelp: Get 10% off your first month of therapy with BetterHelp by going to https://betterhelp.com/potential ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

This week is a deep dive into the Divine Rivals duet (or duology, whichever you prefer) with the one and only, Ashley! This might just be one of the most chaotic episodes we've had in a long time. Prepare for a lot of tangents including, but not limited to, Attack on Titan, haunted diamonds, the abysmal state of my reading room, and, of course, magical typewriters. Note this episode is NOT spoiler free for the Divine Rivals duet (or duology).

Welcome back to Lez Hang Out, the podcast that is healing religious trauma through humor.  This week, Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with Filipina filmmaker, actor, and writer Giovannie Espiritu (@giospirit2) to talk about why 2004 dramedy Saved! Should've Been Gay. We do not think it is possible for there to be a more perfect guest for this episode than Giovannie who actually escaped from a biblical doomsday cult as a teenager. She had just recently left the cult when Saved! came out and helped her to process her religious trauma through super relatable humor (and a huge crush on Jena Malone).  For those of you who are unfamiliar with the movie, Saved! follows the story of Mary (Jena Malone) as she navigates the consequences of getting pregnant in her senior year of high school after sleeping with her boyfriend Dean in an attempt to “save” him from his homosexuality. Mary goes from being a poster child for walking with Jesus to a social pariah whose old friends try to exorcize the devil out of her for daring to have sex before marriage. Her best friend and American Eagle High's answer to Regina George, Hilary Faye (Mandy Moore), kicks Mary out of their girl band The Christian Jewels, and she loses the support of nearly the entire school. Luckily for Mary, the other outsiders, a Jewish girl named Cassandra and Hilary Faye's disabled older brother Roland, take her under their wing and help her to survive senior year.  Although this movie does technically have gay representation in Mary's ex-boyfriend Dean, we really do not see much of his experience once he is sent off to Mercy House to be de-gayed. We want to see how he revolutionized the other students at Mercy House, how he and his current “life partner” got together, and how he managed to get everyone to the prom. Basically, they need to give us a parallel movie to this one a la But I'm A Cheerleader that fills in the gaps of what happened after Dean got taken away. Personally we think Saved! could be a lot gayer. Mary is giving off really queer vibes the entire film, kicking the movie off by literally praying for God to give her the strength to sleep with her boyfriend (obviously a super straight thing to do). Then there's Hilary Faye whose name doesn't rhyme with ‘gay' for no reason. There is simply zero heterosexual explanation for that haircut.  We know one thing for sure, Saved! Should've Been Gay.  Follow us on Twitter: (@lezhangoutpod) and answer our Q & Gay questions at the end of every episode.

This week on Nerd's Talking The Podcast, get ready for a thought-provoking episode! We kick things off with a review of "Next Goal Wins," directed by Taika Waititi, which tells the remarkable story of the American Samoa soccer team's journey to redemption after suffering the worst loss in World Cup history. With the 2014 World Cup on the horizon, the team recruits maverick coach Thomas Rongen, portrayed by Michael Fassbender, to help turn their fortunes around. ext, we delve into the highly anticipated Netflix series "Avatar: The Last Airbender." Set in a war-torn world inspired by Asian cultures, the series follows Aang, the Avatar and the only one capable of bending all four elements. Aang, along with his new friends Katara and Sokka, embarks on a quest to master the elements and bring peace to the world, all while being pursued by the exiled Prince Zuko of the Fire Nation, who seeks to capture him to regain his honor. Then, Lafayette gives us a quick review of "Mean Girls," a modern classic comedy from the creative mind of Tina Fey. The film follows new student Cady Heron as she navigates the treacherous social hierarchy of high school, particularly the elite group of popular girls known as "The Plastics," led by Regina George. As Cady becomes entangled in Regina's world, she must learn to stay true to herself with the help of her outcast friends Janis and Damian.

Do us and the world a favor. Go to your window and shout out "TINA FEY is on Las Culturistas!" Because it's true and everyone should know! Wish fulfillment is defined this week as Matt and Bowen welcome Great American Tina Fey to discuss Countess Luann fandom, Molly Ringwald's career as a transcriber of French novels, starting out at SNL in the tough-as-hell 90's, watching Benny Hill as a family, the beginning of MTV, Blockbuster culture, and the era of soda, hoagies and no fitness. All this, Disney v. Universal, SJP's 90's film work, Rachel McAdams's impact as Regina George, how Mean Girls was written on Fire Island, what makes the best SNL hosts and the joys and dangers of hosting the Golden Globes. Also, discovering the Tina and Amy magic and bringing that to the road on their Restless Leg Tour (go see it!!!), Reneé Rapp and how the Jimmy Awards are the future, deodorant culture, and a very prescient IDTSH from Tina that ranks as an all-timer. How many mozzarella sticks is enough for you? Something to think about. TINA!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If some of us have managed to avoid mean girls in life, we've had no such luck in art. The “mean girl”—a picture of idealized femininity who usually heads up a like-minded clique—has appeared in films like “Clueless,” “Heathers,” and, of course, the 2004 classic “Mean Girls,” written by Tina Fey. Recently, the mean girl has received a makeover. In this episode of Critics at Large, the staff writers Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz discuss texts that have breathed new life into the trope, beginning with Ryan Murphy's “Feud: Capote vs. The Swans,” which dramatizes the schism between the writer Truman Capote and the group of New York City socialites he called his “swans.” The hosts trace the figure of the mean girl through culture, from the character of Regina George—who returns in the 2024 movie-musical reboot of “Mean Girls,” albeit a little less mean than before—to the cast of “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.” Today, the archetype is ripe for projection, appropriation, and maybe even for sympathy. “The hope and the fear looking at these mean girls is imagining how great their lives must be,” Fry says. “But I think concurrently we would be happy to learn that, in fact, it's lonely at the top.” Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“The Allure of the Mean Friend,” on “This American Life”“Carrie” (1976)“Daniel Deronda,” by George Eliot“Euphoria” (2019—)“Feud: Capote vs. The Swans” (2024)“Gossip Girl” (2007-2012)“Heathers” (1988)“La Côte Basque, 1965,” by Truman Capote (Esquire)“Mean Girls” (2004)“Mean Girls” (2024)“101 Dalmatians” (1961)“The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” (2020—)New episodes drop every Thursday.

On this week's show, Nadira Goffe sits in for Julia Turner. The hosts first begin by exploring an updated cult classic: Mean Girls, the movie musical version of the Broadway show based on the iconic 2004 film. The 2024 iteration stars Reneé Rapp as Regina George and Angourie Rice as Cady Heron. Then the three head to 17th century Edo-era Japan and review Blue Eye Samurai, an animated Netflix series about an ambiguously gendered, half-Japanese, half-white samurai (voiced by Maya Erskine) hell-bent on exacting revenge on the man responsible for their “monstrous” existence. Finally, consider the plight of January, a recent New York Times essay implores. The panel debates the merits of America's least-loved month and whether they agree with the assertion that the first 31 days of the year are the best.  In the exclusive Slate Plus segment, the panel discloses what books to read for self-reinvention, including Letters to a Young Poet and Nadira's favorite Toni Morrison work. The conversation is based on Chelsea Leu's piece for The Atlantic, “What to Read If You Want to Reinvent Yourself.”  Email us at culturefest@slate.com.  Outro music: “Lonely Calling” by Arc De Soleil Endorsements: Nadira: Embracing her tradition of endorsing music favorites, Nadira's been loving Depression Cherry by Beach House, the indie duo's 2015 studio album that's dreamy, surreal, and comforting, and Cynthia Erivo's sensational cover of “Alfie,” performed live at the Kennedy Center Honors for 2023 honoree Dionne Warwick.  Dana: At the onset of every year, Dana chooses a mammoth book assignment for herself, and in 2024, that book was Middlemarch by George Eliot. She especially enjoys listening to the audiobook while hiking, which is narrated by the English actress Juliet Stevenson.  Steve: Steve learned to Travis pick on the guitar! Thanks to a wonderful YouTube tutorial by Mike's Music Method for the song “Blues Run the Game” by Jackson C. Frank.

Singer, songwriter and actor Reneé Rapp tells Stephen that she always had her sights set on being a pop singer and was very insecure about her acting skills as a kid.

Reneé Rapp is one of the most exciting and inspiring forces on the rise right now in entertainment. Not only is she bubbling over with next level talent, but she also boasts a number of extremely admirable qualities, ones that can be hard for any artist to establish, let alone one just starting her career. Rapp operates with maximum conviction. She's someone who knows what she wants, and has absolutely no problem advocating for herself. Even better? She keeps her collaborators' best interest in mind while pursuing her own dreams.Rapp is often in the spotlight courtesy of her flourishing music career and highly influential social media presence, but her name is in even more headlines than usual right now thanks to her feature film debut, Mean Girls. After playing Regina George on Broadway, Rapp returns to the role for the new Samantha Jayne and Arturo Perez Jr. directed film. Mean Girls 2024 holds tight to the 2004 original, incorporates a slew of songs from the musical, and manages to put its own fun, fresh spin on the narrative.In case you need the basics, Mean Girls follows homeschooled Cady Heron (Angourie Rice) after she moves back to the US from Kenya. Cady's got absolutely no clue how to navigate the high school social scene, but fortunately, Janis (Auli'i Cravalho) and Damian (Jaquel Spivey) swoop in to give Cady the lay of the land at North Shore High School, most importantly, a warning about The Plastics led by queen bee, Regina George (Rapp). Trouble is, the appeal of popularity proves too powerful. While on a secret mission to expose Regina as a “mean girl,” Cady starts to lose herself in the thrill of being at the top of the food chain and becomes a “mean girl” herself.With Mean Girls now playing in theaters nationwide, I got the chance to have a Collider Ladies Night chat with Rapp to discuss her journey with the Mean Girls franchise and where she gets her unflappable confidence. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week, Busy describes what was going through her mind, and her stomach, at the “Mean Girls” premiere.
