25 - Sleepover (2004)

Today we’re tackling the immortal question, “who is redhead?” in our romp of a conversation about a movie that is so close to getting it right, Sleepover!

Why does Claire know the make, model, and features of the cellphones featured in this movie off the top of her head? Who determines the coolness factor of a lunch spot? Is straightening your hair the best way to identify your maturation? Are popular girls akin to the Pope?

Take a shot whenever we say “earned” and “generic” and check out the Baby Phat retrospective video essay mentioned: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGVTZs9SBsU

Tangents include: Darren Criss’s Vibes, America’s Next Top Model Season 1, the incredible movies of 2004, the rich text that is American Girl’s Care and Keeping Of You, and the disparity between the product and advertising of Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen.
