#15: American Smartbad (A Coming of Age Story)
•
Kyra and Emily
•
Season 2
•
Episode 18
It's our season two finale — surprise! See you soon for season 3!
Coming of age films + slapstick high school comedy films are inevitable. That's where films like American Pie, Superbad, and Booksmart come in. Join Kyra and Emily as they discuss American Pie (and how it's NOT Freaks & Geeks) and dive deep into the similarities and differences between Superbad and Booksmart — and why one of those films resonates stronger than the other.
NOTE: This episode contains references to early 2000's culture which includes homophobia and homophobic jokes that are made in Superbad. This episode also contains strong language, adult references, and vulgarity.
