This week, we look at Easy A, the best teen movie made since Mean Girls. We compare the two, discuss why Emma Stone is so likeable, and Alex breaks down the difference in style between teen movies of various decades. We also talk about how the film uses modern technology and older teen films to advance its ideas, what the film says about the presidential election, and we generally just quote the hell out of the movie because it’s really, really funny… Melody Bostick knows what we’re talking about. Go get your chocolate milk and check it out.
