The new Mean Girls movie is here, based on the musical inspired by the iconic original film which was released in 2004.

Since its release this movie has passionately divided audiences, so today we’re going to unpack which casting choices worked, and which ones really didn't.

We also talk through the changes that needed to be made, if the idea behind the movie still resonates today, and how one important cameo role ended up taking a dramatic turn.
