80. Mean Girls Day | The Emancipation of LiLo (with Allie Giordano)
Today, October 3rd, is Mean Girls Day! The day Aaron Samuels asks Cady Heron what day it is, and the world stood still.
In honor of everyone's favorite pop-culture holiday, host Rachel Malak sits down with BFF Allie Giordano to discuss Lindsay Lohan's career and legacy in two parts. First, the girls do a LiLo film run-through, noting which movies stuck with them most over the years. From Parent Trap to Freaky Friday, there's a lot to get into before we even hit the 2004 box office smash, Mean Girls. Part 2 consists of an interesting look into Lohan's downfall. The girls ask each other what the early 2000s media landscape has to do with with "girls gone wild" turned "girl's got multiple DUIs" depiction of Lindsay Lohan in the prime of her career.
As always, thank you for listening!
