Gretchen! Stop trying to make recycled IP happen!
“Mean Girls” \u2014 a movie based on a musical based on a 2004 movie \u2014 comes out today. It’s not the first or the last time Hollywood has recycled a beloved plot and characters for a “new” audience. What makes movie remakes so grool? (Great plus cool, duh.) Also in this episode: tackling the question of the NFL’s future and young voters in Taiwan are focused on inflation and fear of war with China.
