Who's the Meanest? Therapists React to MEAN GIRLS with guest Dr. Stephanie Sarkis

Contributed by Cinema Therapy
We all know Regina George is a "mean girl" but she's definitely not the only one being manipulative and mean in Mean Girls. Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright are joined by Dr. Stephanie Sarkis to talk about Regina, Cady, Janis, and the toxic patterns of manipulation and narcissism we see in this movie. They also talk about the social structures and what it means to be a "mean girl," how both Regina and Janis try to manipulate Cady, and the awesome performances from Rachel McAdams, Lindsay Lohan, Lizzy Caplan, and the real hero of the movie - Tina Fey.
