00:00 In the spirit of Mean Girls, isn't this crazy? We're here, they made the movie, they made the musical, now they're making the movie musical.
00:06 How exciting is this?
00:07 It's a movie of a musical of a movie musical. How incredible is that? That's what we've been looking for.
00:13 Did you get to see the original Broadway production of Mean Girls?
00:16 Yes, I did. And I really loved it and I'm so glad they're like cementing it into culture for us to be able to watch forever.
00:25 So we don't have to watch slime tutorials online. That's what they call it. That's what they call a bootleg these days.
00:30 I shouldn't be telling the world that. Yeah, I should not be telling people.
00:34 Okay, so obviously the original movie was iconic. Do you have a favorite quote or burn book burn from the original movie?
00:41 Oh, favorite quote would just be "Get in, loser." And the way Renee says it, "Eight." Yeah, yeah.
00:49 And you know, this is of course like a movie about the trials and tribulations of high school. Do you have a good or bad memory from high school?
00:56 High school sucked. I hated it.
01:00 Same.
01:00 Yeah, high school was really bad and I went to rehab after.
01:05 Enough said. Finally, if you would love to see another iconic 2000 movie turn into a musical, what would it be?
01:15 Oh, God. Oh, shit. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
01:22 Like, well, I know that actually The Notebook, which came out the same year as Mean Girls, is being turned into a musical.
01:29 And I'm really, I'm like slowly petting this. I love it. It's becoming a musical. So I'm really excited for that.
