We unpack the film's themes of transformation, conformity, and the dark side of beauty standards, and we explore whether it does justice to the beloved young adult series. Marie then shares updates on her music classes, showing off some hidden talents that leave us all impressed. Finally, we wrap things up with a hilarious dive into old wives' tales—do they make any sense, or are they just bizarre superstitions passed down through generations?
