So Fetch: The Making of Mean Girls (And Why We’re Still So Obsessed With It), by Jennifer Keishin ArmstrongRead about another entry on the list.
Mean Girls is 20 years old now, and they’ve already remade it, so I guess it does warrant an investigation. So Fetch, with its collection of interviews, is really more about the cultural impact of the movie and its unique and savage take on calling out high-school social-sexual politics. It was no small feat to make a teen movie with substance and a message at the height of superficial 2000s trash culture, and out of a nonfiction self-help book at that. This is all about how an idea can become something much bigger than itself.
