Oh Judy!We're not quite sure what went wrong with Judy Blume's only filmic adaptation (actually we do: we blame Lawrence and his flat direction and Michelle Branch soundtrack!) Thankfully we still have the original source material, which despite its age, remains a powerful and affecting tale of grief, mother/daughter relationships and finding solace in an older boy who doesn't like you romantically!Sadly the film leans into the trope-y YA romance, so despite solid performances by Willa Holland and Tatanka Means, this isn't the film we want! Plus: a criminally underused Amy Jo Johnson? Unforgivable!Wanna connect with the show?

What have our kids been experiencing over the course of the last twelve months? What has it felt like to grow up in a Covid-infected world where their everyday routines have changed? A friend recently sent me a link to a short three-and-a-half minute film made by a fifteen year old Canadian named Liv McNeil. The film is titled Numb, which offers a hint into what our teens are feeling. I would encourage you to go on YouTube, search for Numb, and then watch the film. I would also suggest that you watch the film with your kids, asking them how it might reflect the way they’re feeling these days. We know that film oftentimes puts into words things our kids can’t express for themselves. As a follow-up to watching the film, ask the Lord to give you a greater sensitivity to your kids. Pray for guidance on how to love, lead, and direct your kids into Scriptures that offer what Jesus called the peace that passes understanding. Our Covid times offer us a great opportunity for ministry to our kids.
Welcome to our episode in which we talk about the movie "To all the Boys I've loved before part 3: Ps. I'm still very much into boys." Is our gal Laura-Jean still into boys? Or just into Peter Kavinsky? Or maybe into NYC? Listen and find out, peeps!

There are so many movies out there called "Crossroads" but we're obviously talking about the 2002 classic starring none other than BRITNEY, BITCH, Zoe Saldana and Taryn Manning. This movie scored high in the bingo segment and in our hearts because it's truly a delightful watch and it has rekindled our love for Britney and her number one hit "I'm not a girl, not yet a woman" (Bonus: Heather and Jemma give a beautiful rendition of this classic pop tune)
Bring it On brought us many iconic, quotable lines. It also brought us a surprisingly nuanced example of cultural appropriation and the problems of white guilt. Also, Jesse Bradford and Eliza Dushku. Let's get into it!Warning: This one contains cursing. There's also a brief discussion of sexual assault based on the events of the film.

This is one of those random films that you may have never heard of but it's definitely worth a watch. Me and Mikey talk about how Reese was such a 90s bad girl and why we're dying to see her in another role like this soon. Part 'Little Red Riding Hood' and road film, it's a wild hilarious ride.--- GIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE!Hosts: Lauren @lauren_melanie & Mikey @agentmikey007Intro & Outro music by Den-Mate @imdenmateFollow Fashion Grunge Podcast on Instagram @fashiongrungepod and fashiongrunge.com
Fall is here, and the guys wanted to have a little fun this week. Because school is back in session nationwide (kinda) and football season is upon us, they came up with an idea: draft "assets" from any teen film ever made to build the best "teen" film. The categories are: - Protagonist/best friend - 'Zany' adult character - Bully/antagonist - Obstacle/outcome/conflict - Wild card pick (any trope from any movie)Nick vs. Eric vs. Luke. Who made the best movie? Listen in as they stretch the definition of a "teen" film with their movies!
Are you a fan of the singer Jojo (who isn't?) Emma Roberts, mermaids and dopey looking surfer dudes? THEN THIS IS FILM FOR YOU, MY FRIEND! Honestly, this 2006 teen beach flick is one of the most fun movies we've discussed and it includes a star performance from our girl Jojo, some great 2006 fashion, a doofus surfer hunk and a mean girl that is actually an absolute psychopath. Go listen now!
The final part of our Teen Film thread of episodes - Sam and I discuss the highs and lows of the American Pie franchise in a chat that is significantly shorter than our MCU episodes!
We did it! We watched and discussed Clueless. Go listen, you bunch of virgins who can't drive!
Listen to your two favourite halves (us of course) talk about this 2020 Netflix teen flick. It's the classic PreTenDinG YoU'Re SoMEone eLse movie trope with lots of pretentious dialogue, many discussions about love and of course: Yakult!
Hello again! This is the second of our Genre specials focussing on the Teen Film genre, getting us ready for the upcoming coverage of Rebel Without A Cause & Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
This 2003 delightful movie has got all the ingredients to make a great watch: old skool Amanda Bynes (come back to us, Amanda!), Colin Firth, some evil posh English people, a very hot American boho mom and Heather's fave: the forgotten Oliver James! Make yourself a cup of tea, get comfy and enjoy us talking about this absolute gem of an early 00's teen movie.
We're back tackling an absolute John Hughes classic: Pretty in Pink! It's got great 80's fashion, Molly Ringwald and an amazing soundtrack. It also has the most boring romantic interest, a very annoying quirky friend and a 35 year old woman who hangs around with highschool kids...
In this episode Jemma and Heather raise their voices and talk about the Hilary Duff movie (nope, not the Lizzie McGuire Movie) in which she and her choppy 2004 fringe head off to LA, to go find her voice, wear a lot of Juicy Couture tracksuits and finally stand up to her abusive dad.
Hey listener, Welcome to the Yes, Another Teen Movie Awards! Grab a free prosecco, snuggle up next to a famous person in the audience and listen to Jemma and Heather do their best at presenting their first ever awards show!
Listen up, tall girls! And short girls, and any girls and boys in between. Jemma and Heather are bored stiff by Netflix's latest original, and you will be too, so listen to our podcast about it instead.
"Laugh. out. loud. SEND!" This week the girls can't agree whether this is the best teen movie ever made or the worst. Miley Cyrus and Demi Moore (what else is Demi Moore in apart from Ghost?) shine as a raspy voiced mom and daughter duo in this 2012 teen movie. It's full of cringe "teen speak", way too many plot lines and some emo looking jocks. Basically: it's a delight.
Is this the worst movie we've ever seen? Maybe. Is meant to be bad on purpose? Maybe. Heather described this 2017 teen flick starring Noah Centineo as "The Room of teen movies". Be thankful that we watched this train wreck of a movie so you don't have to. You're welcome.
In this episode we discuss Olivia Wilde's masterpiece: Booksmart.Spoiler alert: WE LOVED IT.
A look at one of the best and most important of all Teen FIlms

¡Toma dos! Germán narró un triángulo amoroso entre tres jovenzuelos convivientes en una residencia. A tono con la juventud estilo estadojunido, trasladamos el escenario a un campus universitario, rodeamos a los protagonistas de fiestas con vasos rojos de plástico, y elegimos a los actores que mejor podrían representarlos. ¿Qué sucederá entre "Mikey", "Jennifer", y "Susan"? Hinchamos porque Mikey llegue a tercera base y le asignamos a esta anécdota el director de jóligu que realmente merece.
