70 - Mean Girls The Musical - The Movie!

February 29, 2024 22:00 - 42 minutes - 29.5 MB

WELCOME BACK TO THE FINAL EPISODE OF YES ANOTHER TEEN MOVIE! This week we're diving into Renée Rapp's cleavage... oops, we mean Mean Girls The Movie The Musical that no one asked for. Thank you Tina Fey for giving us the perfect vehicle to end this podcast on a high, and avoid having to critique the timeless perfection of the original Mean Girls!! Featuring time-travelling Ms Norberry and Mr Duvall, 12-year-old Cady and Aaron and a cameo from Heather's no. 1 lady Lindsay Lohan, you just know...

69 - Juno

April 04, 2023 13:00 - 47 minutes - 33 MB

Welcome back to our 69TH episode, lovely YATM listeners! This week/fortnight/month (we're still figuring out our cadence, okay?) we're back in your earholes with the film that defined a generation. Boomers had Rebel Without a Cause, Gen X had Say Anything, and ageing Millennials like Jemma and Heather had Juno, FORSHIZZ one of the best teen movies of all time. Once you get past the self-consciously wacky dialogue, there's an incredible soundtrack, toxic masculinity commentary, and Michael Ce...

68 - After Ever Happy

January 31, 2023 08:00 - 56 minutes - 38.8 MB

We're honestly doing the lord's work, watching all these movies so you don't have to. You're welcome. 

CHRISTMAS SPECIAL ALERT! - Falling For Christmas

December 05, 2022 08:00 - 1 hour - 45.6 MB

I hear those sleighbells ringling, jing-jing-jingling too! And something else - what's that sound? It's the sound of a YATM CHRISTMAS SPECIAL coming over the airwaves, as fun and festive as a winter sleigh ride. Welcome one and all to the snowy world of Lindsay Lohan & Chord Overstreet, who play our romantic leads in Netflix's latest made-for-clickbait Christmas rom-com (and we're being generous with the com). There's physical comedy! There's snow! There's a failing local business! There's p...

67 - Do Revenge

November 01, 2022 21:00 - 57 minutes - 39.2 MB

A delicious cocktail of 'Strangers on a train' and a shitload of teen movies

66 - Rebel Without a Cause

October 03, 2022 16:00 - 56 minutes - 38.9 MB

Everyone get into the YATM time machine! We're going all the way back to the 1950s this week to what might be the FIRST EVER teen movie, Nicholas Ray's 1955 classic Rebel Without a Cause. But was the film that launched a thousand pop culture references actually any good, or was it just a posthumous obsession with James Dean's own misspent youth that put this movie on the map? You're going to have to listen to find out. 

65 - 17 Again

August 15, 2022 22:00 - 54 minutes - 37.6 MB

We meet again, Zac Efron. Or are we meeting Matthew Perry?  Err, pretty confusing stuff this is. And we're not the only ones who are confused (looking at you Leslie Mann and Michelle Trachtenberg...)  Everyone, hop into that  DeLorean and travel back with us to the year 2009 (or 1989? We told you this was confusing). 

64 - Senior Year

June 27, 2022 10:00 - 57 minutes - 39.3 MB

OK, so we took a little break! Jemma actually went into a 30-day coma after the trauma of watching Senior Year, and now she's awake she's still talking like it's May 2022. Rebel Wilson coming out is old news, Jemma! This of course mirrors the experience of our 'heroine' (and I use that word very, very lightly) Stephanie in Senior Year, who falls into a coma following a cheerleading accident and wakes up 20 years later still feelin' like a teen, but still with the hots for 37 year old men. T...

63 - Jennifer's Body

May 09, 2022 20:00 - 48 minutes - 33.2 MB

What's that you say? A feminist, queer masterpiece starring Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfriend? Get this episode in your ears, quick! 

62 - Tall Girl 2

April 04, 2022 17:00 - 56 minutes - 38.6 MB

Tall Girl 2: This Time I'm Taller. Tall Girl 2: PS I'm Still Tall. Tall Girl 2: 2 Tall 2 Function. Whatever you call it, this movie is a giant insult to the concept of cinema. and the world would be a better place if it had been consigned to the giant dumpster outside the back of Netflix HQ. No, I'm not going to elaborate... just listen to the episode if you care so much.

61 - After We Fell

March 08, 2022 20:00 - 1 hour - 42.5 MB

After watching three of these godawful movies we never want to hear about Hardin and Tessa again! Never we tell you! (Until the next one comes out...) 

60 - After We Collided

January 25, 2022 16:00 - 1 hour - 41.6 MB

Welcome back to our 60th episode! If YATM was a person, we'd be close to collecting our pension by now. But don't worry, we all know that millennials will have to work forever, and we're no exception! We're still putting our noses to the grindstone for you, the lovely listeners, and slogging our way through the sequel to After - After We Collided. And boy, did this movie make us regret ever complaining about The Kissing Booth. In this film, we've got cruelty to homeless people, violence agai...

59 - After

January 04, 2022 16:00 - 1 hour - 41.4 MB

After listening to this episode you're gonna wish that you posted your fanfic online too! 

58 - A Walk to Remember

December 02, 2021 13:00 - 1 hour - 44 MB

A Walk to Remember? More like A Film to Forget!! Ha, ha, ha. If you like terrible jokes like that, you'll love our latest episode, in which we eviscerate this sentimental teen non-classic which was originally set in the 50s and, honestly, should have stayed there. Disclaimer: Jemma and Heather are not liable for any auditory issues that may arise from you blaring 'Only Hope' by Switchfoot 200 times on repeat after listening to this episode. It's the only good thing about this movie. 

57 - Sierra Burgess is a Loser

November 04, 2021 19:00 - 57 minutes - 39.7 MB

Have you always wondered what the movie is that birthed this podcast? Well, it's this one: a 2018 Netflix, synth-pop dream starring Shannon Purser and our main man Noah Centineo (in probably the only role we actually tolerate him).

56 - He's All That

October 12, 2021 08:00 - 1 hour - 49.1 MB

It's the film you've all been waiting for! The gender-swapped remake of She's All That hit our Netflix screens last month, starring Tiktok star Addison Rae and sundry members of the original cast who were free that day. (Not Freddie Prinze Jr, though - we're still trying to figure out whether he's Padgett's dad who lives in Florida.) But don't worry, teen movies haven't got too modern in 2021 - the Catcher In the Rye-reading, beanie-wearing male lead in this film could give Dan Humphrey a ru...

Kissing Booth 3

September 13, 2021 17:00 - 52 minutes - 36.3 MB

We're back!!! And we're kicking off senior year with a banger (the podcast episode that is. Definitely not this arse of a movie.)  Will Elle get to do everything off that cursed bucket list? Will Lee finally stop being a whiny, spoiled bitch? Is Molly  Ringwald actually gonna sell the beach house? Tune in and find out!

54 - Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen

July 13, 2021 08:00 - 54 minutes - 37.5 MB

Summer! Summer! Summer! It's our last episode before SUMMER BREAK, and it's a corker... Kind of. Why did Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen have to be one of the most disappointing teen adaptations of the aughts while simultaneously being the most sartorially significant? As usual, we blame Disney. Along with Burberry outfits, we've got Megan Fox's first star turn, a MAJOR Hollywood dad award to present, and not one, not two, but THREE makeover scenes. Ft. those thigh-high lace-up Converse...

53- The Duff

June 11, 2021 14:00 - 1 hour - 44.7 MB

52 - Heathers

May 18, 2021 15:00 - 1 hour - 44.7 MB

What's your damage, listeners?! In this episode we're dissecting the ultimate high school mean girl movie, the one that paved the way for Regina George & Cady Heron's frenemyship and dared to go where no teen movie has gone before. Prepare for croquet, pâté, coloured tights and just a light sprinkle of murder. More importantly, you're finally going to find out why mineral water is gay and why Heathers has haunted Jemma and Heather (Renton, not Chandler, Duke or McNamara) since we first recor...

51 - The Lizzie McGuire Movie

April 30, 2021 17:00 - 51 minutes - 35.4 MB

This week we're travelling to Rome in the year 2003 to watch Lizzie McGuire skip her amazing school trip and hang out with Mr. 70's-vibe-sleazeball-extraordinaire Paolo instead, while getting ready to perform at the Colosseum.  And all that at the ripe age of 13. We're here for it. "Sing to me, Paulo!"

50 - John Tucker Must Die

April 13, 2021 13:00 - 57 minutes - 39.4 MB

Want to watch a film that functions as a perfect time capsule for the year 2006? Want to see Ashanti in a cheerleading outfit? Want to get the song Dirty Little Secret by All American Rejects stuck in your head on a continuous loop for the next fourteen days? Well, there's only ONE film out there for you... and John Tucker Must Die, it IS you. Other quintessentially 2006 topics covered in this episode include but are not limited to: Sophia Bush, outdated opinions on veganism, My Super Sweet ...

Moxie

March 31, 2021 20:00 - 58 minutes - 40.1 MB

Grab your leather jackets and copies of The Second Sex because this week we are talking about the feminism with a capital F in the 2021 Netflix movie "Moxie"

48 - Save The Last Dance

March 17, 2021 08:00 - 1 hour - 43.3 MB

In this episode we take a welcome break from watching movies about privileged teens in huge houses navigating the trauma of choosing between Ivy Leagues, and instead turn our attention to a movie that deals with some REAL SHIT. The Citizen Kane of '00s dance movies, everything about Save The Last Dance rules. Well... almost everything. Everything except Julia Stiles.

47 - To All The Boys 3: Always and Forever

March 03, 2021 12:00 - 52 minutes - 36.2 MB

Welcome to our episode in which we talk about the movie "To all the Boys I've loved before part 3: Ps. I'm still very much into  boys."  Is our gal Laura-Jean still into boys? Or just into Peter Kavinsky? Or maybe into NYC? Listen and find out, peeps!

46 - Twilight

February 17, 2021 13:00 - 1 hour - 47.5 MB

Vampires and werewolves and Kristen Stewart, oh my! We're back, and this week's episode is coming to you live from FORKS, WA. Just kidding, but when the pandemic's over we will be posting a Go Fund Me link to  get us over there for a live broadcast on Stephanie Meyer Day, and all the mushroom ravioli we can eat. Don't get the significance of the mushroom ravioli? That's OK, neither did we. In fact, there's a lot that confused us about this film, such as: 'why is every single boy at this tin...

44 - The Perfect Man

January 11, 2021 23:00 - 52 minutes - 36 MB

Happy 2021, guys, gals and non-binary pals! We're starting off the new year with - not quite a splash - more like a tepid ripple, with this absolute yawn-fest of a film that features Hilary Duff trying to catfish her mum using a picture of Mr Big - surely EVERY 2005 mum's biggest fantasy, right?! Cue Hilary learning to be vulnerable and Heather (Locklear, not our host) learning to be a halfway decent parent, via some lame slapstick, cringey Scrabble jokes and, of course, people pretending to...

43 - Crossroads

December 17, 2020 09:00 - 53 minutes - 36.6 MB

There are so many movies out there called "Crossroads" but we're obviously talking about the 2002 classic starring none other than BRITNEY, BITCH, Zoe Saldana and Taryn Manning.  This movie scored high in the bingo segment and in our hearts because it's truly a delightful watch and it has  rekindled our love for Britney and her number one hit "I'm not a girl, not yet a woman" (Bonus: Heather and Jemma give a beautiful rendition of this classic pop tune)

42 - Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants 2

December 01, 2020 20:00 - 58 minutes - 40.3 MB

The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants are back, and so are we! But how much has changed three years into the future? Lena's still shite at drawing, Tibby's still #edgy, Carmen's still downtrodden and Bridget's off somewhere out foreign again (you can tell by the music). Join us to cringe over some really bad Shakespeare puns (thanks, weedy English guy whose name I've already forgotten at the time of writing) and for some #realtalk about how high school boyfriends are best left in the past ...

41 - She's The Man

November 18, 2020 11:00 - 52 minutes - 36.3 MB

If Shakespeare was still around, do you think he would listen to us discuss this adaptation of his famous gender bending play Twelfth Night? We sure hope he would because not only is She's The Man a classic, so is this podcast episode. 

40 - Teen Witch

October 29, 2020 19:00 - 52 minutes - 35.9 MB

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE! Welcome to our spooky Halloween special that's not really that spooky at all - Louise Miller, the Teen Witch in question, is pretty much the antithesis of terrifying Nancy from The Craft. She's just a nice girl in cosy sweaters who wants to make the captain of the football team fall in love with her. Who can relate?!  Bonus content: Heather raps.

39 - The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

October 14, 2020 19:00 - 49 minutes - 34.2 MB

We were  both so ready to hate this film and guess what: We love it!  (And not just because there's a hot Greek man in it)

38 - Cruel Intentions

September 30, 2020 15:00 - 1 hour - 43.4 MB

Did you, like Jemma, watch this movie when you were like 13 years old? Did you, too, fall deeply in love with Sebastian Valmont and believe that he was a sympathetic, 'troubled' character who was eventually redeemed by love? OR, did you, like Heather, sit down to watch this cult teen classic at the age of 28 and think... what the f*ck?! Featuring Grecian columns, big hats, famous snogs, The Verve and what was probably the basis for Chuck Bass's origin story, this movie might get our biggest...

37 - The Kissing Booth 2

September 14, 2020 20:00 - 1 hour - 45.6 MB

Get ready to listen to us talk over an hour about The Kissing Booth 2 Ps. I Still Love Kissing. It's a miracle we managed to fit it one hour seeing as this movie is about a 1000 hours long... Also discussed in this episode: Molly Ringwald's baffling house wife stick in the rap house, hot British gals who wanna steal your boyfriend and Lee being a toxic boyfriend. ENJOY

36 - The Kissing Booth

August 18, 2020 12:00 - 1 hour - 45.6 MB

OK, we've found it: the worst teen movie on Netflix. Worse than SPF-18, you say? Worse than To All The Boys I've Loved Before 2: PS I Still Love Boys??? Yep, The Kissing Booth is a car crash. From the extremely cringey dialogue that makes it seem like the script was a collaboration between a 12 year old and a middle aged man, to the creepy, young Christian Grey-esque character of Noah Flynn, this film leaves no stone unturned in its deranged mission to make toxic masculinity sexy.

Are you a fan of the singer Jojo (who isn't?) Emma Roberts, mermaids and dopey looking surfer dudes? THEN THIS IS FILM FOR YOU, MY FRIEND! Honestly, this 2006 teen beach flick is one of the most fun movies we've discussed and it includes a star performance from our girl Jojo, some great 2006 fashion, a doofus surfer hunk and a mean girl that is actually an absolute psychopath.
