Yes, Another Teen Movie

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 an...

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-...

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

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&...

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

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&ap...

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). 

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 che...

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

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.

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...) 

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 u...

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

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 Swit...

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). 

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...

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! 

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 Ho...

Ya two favourite DUFFS (designated unbelievably funny friends) discussing this sorta good teen movie from 2015 that nobody has ever heard of. Enjoy! 

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...

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!"

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 th...

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" 

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.

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!
