BRING IT ON (2000): Movie Review 🎧📣✨punk boyfriends, beetles, besties, and peak Y2K nostalgia

In our most Y2K-coded episode ever, we’re joined by one of Michelle’s childhood besties, Sushma Krishna, as we travel back to the year 2000 and revisit the iconic teen comedy Bring It On. Following Torrance and the Toros on their cheerleading journey sparks ALL the nostalgic memories: high school ones for Michelle and Sushma, and elementary school ones for Laura. Along the way, we discuss what makes Bring It On so unexpectedly smart, how screenwriter Jessica Bendinger helped break new ground for teen films, and why we love this romance storyline as a side plot. Dust off your school spirit and meet us on the bleachers! We saved you a seat + (some vending machine goodies). 🍝 Question for the Table: What song reminds you most of your senior year of high school? ____ 🎉🥂💻 VISIT OUR SITE [https://filmtotablepodcast.com/] 🍿 CATCH UP ON PAST SEASONS 🍿  ❤️ Love takes Time [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6DDMjghqAF8sJcgUnaEYmVrZ7DQmCKtr] 🎶 Musicals [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6DDMjghqAF_sbGzOiMqG-DG5Xc4lQPOp] 💕 Girl Dinner [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6DDMjghqAF9OxxBWyhY-DHJ8btvTiB1T] 🎄 Holly-day Favorites [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6DDMjghqAF-PhK6uw1JLdx2OZTS7YBx6] 🦖 Summer of Spielberg [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6DDMjghqAF_M6fZXNwkT55t7JkyagpVb] 💘 Matchmaking [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6DDMjghqAF-_jheED8fZwxGDeqdq9i00] ____ 👋 Connect with us on Instagram @filmtotablepod [https://www.instagram.com/filmtotablepod/] 🫶 Share this episode with a friend!
