Jordan and Brooke are joined by writer and singer/songwriter Soraya Sebghati to make fetch happen. We rattle off as many quotes as we can, lament the lack of an Oscar nom here for Best Costume Design, figure out if kids are still mean to each other (yes), talk as little as possible about the musical remake, and push the "Regina George is a lesbian" agenda (true).Follow us on Twitter, Bluesky, and IG!

Sweeping romance, the West, sad men, Michelle Williams, horses...this is a Jordan and Brooke certified classic. We pod on, simply, one of the best movies ever as a five year anniversay celebration of the show. It's sad, it's meaningful, it's lovely, it's sexy. It is NOT a goddamn bitch of an unsatisfactory situation (except for the cultural homophobia and Heath Ledger leaving our screens far too soon). Follow us on Twitter, Bluesky, and IG!
