Episode 11: Booksmart

Jeremy Marshall

This week, Jeremy & Mads are calling MALALA!

Listen as we breakdown the decade long cultural journey that took a Black List winning 'Super Bad' knock off and gave it a massive GLOW UP to become one of the best screenplays (and FILMS) of the 2019!

We talk the subverting high school class structure, question whether or not 'Super Bad' would even work in 2019, discuss crafting character arcs that create profound growth through devastating failure, marvel over Olivia Wilde's baller soundtrack choices, and revel in the delight that is Billie Lourd as Gigi!

Written by: Katie Silberman and Susanna Fogel and Emily Halpern & Sarah Haskins
Directed by: Olivia Wilde
