Episode 167: Popularity is Terrifying!
🔪 EPISODE 167: POPULARITY IS TERRIFYING 🔪
Matty and Andrew are back with a brand new episode — and this week it's giving Mean Girls, but make it horror. We're breaking down who gets to sit with us (RIP Annabelle, we don't make the rules) before diving into two flicks about cliques, queen bees, and what happens when you'll do anything to get in.
🎬 FILM ONE: Heathers (1989)
Three girls named Heather rule Westerburg High until new kid J.D. convinces Veronica it's time to take them down a peg — and things get murderous fast.
Matty: 6 | Andrew: 5.5
🎬 FILM TWO: The In Crowd (2000)
A fresh start at a posh country club turns sinister when queen bee Brittany Foster pulls Adrien into her world of secrets and social climbing.
Matty: 3.5 | Andrew: 4.5
Plus this week's Horror in Real Life: the wild psychology of groupthink, the terrifying history of social conformity turning deadly, and how the chase for popularity online has had devastating real-world consequences.
And of course — Unpopular Opinions rounds us out for the game segment, because apparently we all have thoughts on jump scares and Halloween decoration timelines.
