- Cruel Intentions (1999): Get ready for some scandalous secrets and manipulative teens in this step sibling reimagining of Dangerous Liaisons.
- She's the Man (2006): Can Viola take on the role of her twin brother in this take on Shakespeare's Twelfth Night?
- Easy A (2010): Is a scarlet letter the new "it" accessory? We'll discuss the modern twist on Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter.
Join Jason and Amy as we:
- Relive the iconic fashion, teen drama, and quotable lines.

EPISODE 171: This week Jason and guest Clare rank five films that blur the line between reality and satire:
- CB4 (1993): A mockumentary chronicling the rise and fall of a fictional gangsta rap group – think Spinal Tap meets N.W.A.
- Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999): A scathing (and hilarious) send-up of beauty pageants follows a cynical teen on her quest for the crown.
- Behind the Mask (2006): This mockumentary delves into the world of a fictional Los Angeles Slasher film franchise, complete with obsessed fans and washed-up actors.
- What We Do In The Shadows (2014): We join a group of vampires struggling with the modern world in this New Zealand cult classic.
- Marcel the Shell with Shoes On (2021): An adorable stop-motion mockumentary explores the existential musings of a tiny shell living in a cluttered house.
Get ready for:
- Mockumentary madness: We'll dissect the comedic genius (and occasional cringe) of this unique genre.
- Underrated gems: Will Marcel the Shell melt your heart or leave you cold?
- Fake or funny?: Can you tell the difference between real and mockumentary anymore?
- Laughs (and maybe some existential dread): Prepare for a rollercoaster ride of emotions!
So, grab some popcorn (or maybe a tissue for Marcel), and join us for a mockumentary marathon unlike any other!
