And we talked about this briefly in the Mean Girls episode.
T
44:04TJ DaweHOST
There's a character called Janice Ian, who when Katie Heron, the protagonist, shows up at a high school she's never attended.
T
44:10TJ DaweHOST
Janice is the one that says, okay, let me show you who's who.
T
44:13TJ DaweHOST
And there's a scene where we're panning through the cafeteria and she's describing who the different groups are.

But then Katie does something that allows a one-for-all situation where she breaks a piece off for every person who was nominated, including Gretchen Wieners, Regina George, and Janice Ian.

However, the real story was not fully shared behind this movie.
D
13:17DanielleHOST
The real story involves a girl getting hit by a bus and realizing how evil she was and even finding God.
D
13:28DanielleHOST
All Tina Fey does is make fun of Christians in this movie, and there is even a satanic star behind Janice Ian in class, which is creepy.
D
13:39DanielleHOST
It would have been five stars if they just gave the true message.
