I'm 16. Until today I was home school. And then it was goodbye Africa. And hello high school. Hi, I'm Katie. I'm Jess. This is Damien. Watch out! New meat coming through. This map shows the school's central nervous system. The cafeteria.

1:01.0

You got your cool Asians. Burnouts. Jocks. The greatest people you will ever meet. And the worst. So you've never been to a real school before? Shut up. Shut up. And say anything.

1:14.0

1:30.0

You know who's looking to find tonight Seth Mosikowski? He is your cousin. What? He's a good kisser.

1:43.0

So I don't know where to begin with this one. It's 15 years April 30th. That's really scary. People think Mean Girls Day is October 3rd but actually it came out in April 30th.

1:52.0

We'll get into Mean Girls Day because I didn't even know about this until I was researching the movie. I'm a man. I didn't know I did. This was happening.

1:59.0

I want to start with the smart teen movie. Lineage championship belt. Oh wow. Fun. Let's do it. Yeah.

2:07.0

Yeah. Because I feel like fast times a Ridgeman High was the first one. Yeah. Okay. Where it was like. Oh teens. Look at them. They have real issues too. They're real people.

2:17.0

Mm-hmm. Things are happening to them. Breakfast club. Heather's. Clueless. Mean Girls. Easy a. Love easy. I agree. And the kissing booth. I think. I think that's the latter. Well, because these movies are dumber now. We're never going to have like the super smart.

2:35.0

I can't believe you went from Clueless mid 90s all the way to 2004. Mean Girls. What a desert for smart teen movies. Well, I thought about 10 things I hate about you. But I don't think that movie is really that smart. That's more because the other type of teen movie is like the secret admirer. Right.

3:27.0

Kind of dopey but lovable teen movie, which there's been a million of. I can't think of one that like I'm like, how could we not include this. But that's just like such an indictment because there were so many teen movies in that 10 year stretch.

3:41.0

They really were especially like the six year stretch from 94 to like 2001 basically. That's true. They got well.

3:47.0
