Go (1999) w/ Alex Steed Aug 19, 2021

Show notes

"You know what wakes me up in the middle of the night covered in a cold sweat? Knowing that you aren't any worse than anyone else in your whole screwed up generation."

Teen girl movies aren't always bubblegum pop and we're remembering that with the "Tarantino for Teens" classic, 1999's GO with the help of our dear podcast Daddy, Alex Steed of You Are Good (formerly Why Are Dads?). Together the three discuss the influence of the representation of working class youths, Alex shares what it was like to actually be a teen in the 90s, and we all decide whether or not Jane Krakowski could make us join a multi-level marketing scheme.

"It began as a prank and ended in murder. Fantastic Choice. I love this one."
