The "Burn Book" will never die... On this episode we are going back to school for a remix of one of the most beloved High School comedies of the modern age.  It's time for 'Mean Girls'. New student Cady Heron (Angourie Rice) is welcomed into the top of the social food chain by the elite group of popular girls called “The Plastics,” ruled by the conniving queen bee Regina George (Reneé Rapp) and her minions Gretchen (Bebe Wood) and Karen (Avantika). However, when Cady makes the major misstep of falling for Regina’s ex-boyfriend Aaron Samuels (Christopher Briney), she finds herself prey in Regina’s crosshairs. As Cady sets to take down the group’s apex predator with the help of her outcast friends Janis (Auli’i Cravalho) and Damian (Jaquel Spivey), she must learn how to stay true to herself while navigating the most cutthroat jungle of all: high school. Adapted from the stage musical, this may not be the Mean Girls that you remember, but it's so very much more as it makes its leap from the stage to the screen.   Available now On Demand and hitting retailers on DVD, Blu-Ray and 4K on April 30th, we had the pleasure of talking with directors Samantha Jayne and Arturo Perez Jr about adapting this for the screen, the power of the 'Burn Book" and so very much more....
