Show notes
We're tackling another listener request as we delve into the very weird world of the 2018 Netflix rom com The Kissing Booth ! Join in as we discuss the careers of the Euphoria cast, Netflix's 2018 rom com boom, a Welsh teen's idea of American high school, and the movie's odd but pernicious sexism. Plus: What is Jacob Elordi doing with his voice? How did a kissing booth get approved for a school event? Why does Elle's (Joey King) dad hate Flynn so much? Can a freshman really head to college in June? And, most importantly, how does this school's uniform work? Make sure to rate, review, and subscribe!
