It's the finale of 'Back to School Month' on Late to the Movies, and we're marking the occasion with the most-requested topic yet - Mean Girls! ...and also the direct-to-ABC Family sequel, Mean Girls 2. Ben, Bree, Kay and Sam talk about Lindsay Lohan, high school, and trying to make fetch happen in the 2004 original (00:00-58:30) before turning their attention to the very strange, very unnecessary 2011 sequel (58:30-1:20:30).

Mean Girls was directed by Mark Waters, written by Tina Fey, and stars Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, Lacey Chabert, Amanda Seyfried, Tim Meadows, Amy Poehler, and Fey. Mean Girls 2 was directed by Melanie Mayron, and stars Meaghan Martin, Jennifer Stone, and Maiara Walsh.

Summer Camp Month continues with the endlessly quotable, cult-classic summer camp satire - 2001's Wet Hot American Summer! Ben, Bree, Colin, Sam, and Vaz gather 'round the campfire to talk about the many (MANY) soon to be very famous cast members, their favorite bits, and to play a couple games. Seriously, eventually there are games (starting at 59:30!) so just hang in there. Directed by David Wain, written by Wain and Michael Showalter, and starring (deep breath) Janeane Garofalo, Michael Showalter, Paul Rudd, David Hyde Pierce, Molly Shannon, Christopher Meloni, Elizabeth Banks, Ken Marino, Michael Ian Black, Bradley Cooper, Amy Poehler, Zak Orth, and A. D. Miles.
