FRIDAY
FILM
Mean Girls (2004) with Kickstand Comedy Improv
Tina Fey tried to make “fetch” happen again in this year’s musical “twist on a modern classic,” a phrase that made me feel irreparably old. (Pack it up, fellow millennials—our journey to cultural obsolescence is complete, I guess.) However, you can’t improve upon perfection, so 2024’s Mean Girls sorta Shein-ified the original. I recommend reliving the fanatical chokehold on teen society of Mean Girls (2004) at this screening, during which Kickstand Comedy’s improvisers will devise scenes based on the film. LC
