Spoiler alert, turns out it may not actually be the finale finale finale. Yes, this is so emergency that I didn't even know we were recording and you guys are like, come into the studio. There are no laptops. There's really like very minimal prep. There's just a lot of thoughts and feelings and vibes. So the three people in the room, we normally introduce ourselves. We don't have an intro today. It's me, Michelle, you Zara, and you belly-botley. We are very excited to be here. If you've accidentally found yourself here and don't know what you're doing here, that's all right. You can still stay. Of course you can. The summer I turn pretty is a very big show that was on Prime, starring Lola Tongue, written by Jenny Hahn. It's been massive, a bit of a love triangle between one girl and two brothers. Two brothers. They live in a town called, well, they visit a town called Cousins. We're about to give you every spoiler possible under the sun. Don't come to us and complain about spoilers.

1:48.7

It's your choice to be here. You clicked in. Yes. Leave now. This is your leave. We'll give you five seconds. Okay, great. I think that may have been like two.

1:55.0

Look, team, I just have a bunch of random keywords in my notes. So I kind of think how we're going to roll with this today

2:02.9

is to just vibe. I want you to just throw things at me and I want us to bounce. I want you to tell

2:09.6

me in one word how you would summarize that finale of the summary turn pretty. Michelle.

2:15.4

Almost. Oh, can I give you two? Yeah, yeah. Almost there.

2:18.7

I'm going to give you two as well.

2:19.9

Need more. Which I think we're going to get. Oh, similar. All my sister phrases. Zara McDonald, go. Lackluster. Yeah. Okay. I think we're all in agreement. Are we allowed to go straight to the end? Or do we want to...

2:32.6

Do we want to, before we go to lackluster and the actual ending,

2:35.4

do we want to go back to the start?

2:36.6

Because I want to just kick off with one of the cringiest phrases in the finale episode. Okay. I want to be the baddest bitch in PR. I want to be the baddest bitch in P. But it was very Taylor. It was very Taylor, but the thing I love about the summer I turn pretty, I love it and I don't like it at times. But it's like the moments I don't like it make me love it more, if that makes sense. Like it can be so cringe and so Riverdale. Have you guys watched Riverdale? Yes. Oh my God. This is what my boyfriend Stevie said it reminded him of. So my friend Maddie came up with this. This is not a Michelleism.

3:08.9

Maddie was like, they've gone, they've lent into Riverdale vibes this season. Which for a non-riverdale watcher, what does that mean? Just sometimes really fucking cringe dialogue. Cheesy and a bit camp. A bit camp. I have some examples of cringe dialogue, but I kind of want to go in order of the episode if that's okay.
