Frank Film Club with Maisie Williams

Mean Girls: The OG vs the musical

On Wednesdays, we wear pink drop episodes. This week we delve into the MGU (the Mean Girls Universe), and discuss the recent Mean Girls musical adaptation alongside the original. Who else knew Tina Fey’s screenplay is based off a single chapter in a self-help book? We discuss the phenomenal impact of the original film and our first-time viewing experiences. For us, we agree it was the first time we saw girls being truly hilarious on screen. But we question the relatability of the film and the fact that it’s aged terribly. (That cafeteria scene?!?) Tune in to find out what we think the musical DID get right. Mean Girls (2024) stars Reneé Rapp as Regina George and Angourie Rice as lady Heron and was directed by Samantha Jayne and Arturo Perez Jr. Keep up to date with us on Instagram, TikTok, Letterboxd and YouTube: @frankfilmclub A full transcript of this episode can be found <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1180So5NgSGXK6y09Li6-dhldxDkJH0TB/view?usp=drive_link" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.
