Mean Girls: Part 2

In 2004, Tina Fey adapted Rosalind Wiseman's high school
self-help book "Queen Bees and Wannabees" into a comedy
screenplay. With help from longtime Saturday Night Live producer,
Lorne Michaels the movie was made and set a unique standard for
what can be done, and said, in a female-led comedy. Join us as we
talk about the hoops that Fey had to jump through to have a
graphically hilarious menstruation joke in a PG-13 movie, and
what exactly constitutes a pie versus a cobbler.
