| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone and welcome to slash film daily. Today is Friday, January 12th, 2024. |
| 0:04.3 | On today's episode of the show, I'm going to be joined by a bunch of folks to have some fun inspired by the new |
| 0:08.4 | mean girls musical film. My name is Ben Pearson, I'm an editor at slash film.com, and I'm recording this a little bit in advance, |
| 0:15.6 | so I haven't actually had the chance to see the new Mean Girls movie yet, but it struck me as somewhat odd that this seemingly random |

| 0:54.9 | I have chosen 50 first dates. |
| 0:58.0 | You know what? |
| 0:59.0 | I've never seen this movie. |
| 1:00.6 | So, uh, holy shit, seriously? |
| 1:03.0 | Yeah, I just, I missed it somehow, never got around to it. |
| 1:06.0 | Okay, so, so layout, I think I know the basic premise of this movie, |
| 1:10.0 | but sort of give me like the broad strokes of what this is and then why you think it would be good as a musical. |
| 1:14.6 | I'm more shocked because this was such a cable staple. |
