## Resource

Get in, loser, we’re going podcasting. This week on Cozy Quilt Cinema, we’re wearing pink and revisiting the 2004 cult classic, Mean Girls. Written by Tina Fey and starring Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, and Amy Poehler, this film is a mosaic of early 2000s nostalgia and sharp social commentary. We’re pulling the threads of high school hierarchy, from the "Burn Book" drama to the tactical survival of Cady Heron and the reign of Regina George. Is this teen comedy a cult classic in our blanket fort, or is "Fetch" still never going to happen? Join us as we get emotionally invested in the tribalism of the cafeteria, the brilliance of the screenplay, and why we’re still quoting this movie two decades later.
