The Rewatchables: ‘Easy A’ With Juliet Litman, Amanda Dobbins, and Shea Serrano (guest)
Loves watching Emma Stone be goofy and winning, set-up-and-repeat devices like the signs, and a well-played bully (Cam Gigandet). Hates when movies flash back too recently, puts up with the Hollywood-sharp hot takes, and bristled at the script's awkward bits. A sucker for That Guy awards and Dion Waiters heat checks.
Stances
- Emma Stone makes the premise work; nobody else could
- FCA kids in his school were Marianne
- Doesn't buy Jennifer Lawrence as Olive
- Wants more Gabrielle Union
- Teen movies lose something going straight to Netflix
Humor: Blunt, conversational, mixes sports references (Dion Waiters, Vincent Hanna) with fond fandom.
In their words
- “It's like a very similar thing with the setup for the 40-year-old virgin, without Steve Carell in that movie, it becomes exceptionally creepy.” (0:05:19)
- “fucking outstanding bully performance.” (1:10:25)
- “I couldn't imagine watching that just by myself on the couch or on my phone in my bedroom.” (1:47:06)
