  • HSM & Not Another Teen Movie

    Oof, ya’ll did HSM so close to Teen Movie, so I have to say it. Chyler Leigh, the female lead of Teen Movie, once was in a movie opposite her brother (Christopher Kaymen Lee, Red In Space Power Ranger). And they did have a kissing scene.

My only quibble is that I need Todd to stop repeating what’s already been said. Not just what’s already been said; what was JUST said. Example: in the Date Night episode (April 10, 2025), he literally repeated what Paige said at least twice: once when he repeated who directed the movie after she just physically said the words of who directed the movie, and the second time ... more
