Who is the meanest in Mean Girls? Pt. 1 - a podcast by William Scanlin

In 2004, Tina Fey adapted Rosalind Wiseman's high school self-help book "Queen Bees and Wannabees" into a comedy screenplay. With help from longtime Saturday Night Live producer, Lorne Michaels the movie was made and set a unique standard for what can be done, and said, in a female-led comedy. Join us as we talk about the hoops that Fey had to jump through to have a graphically hilarious menstruation joke in a PG-13 movie, and what exactly constitutes a pie versus a cobbler. 

-This is a relatively spoiler-free discussion of the movie, join in next week as we break down all of the best jokes of the movie in full-spoiler alert fashion.
