EP 208: "EASY A" (2010) - SEX EDUCATION WITH EMILY (EMMA) STONE! PT 1
We get hot and heavy with part 1 of our "SEX EDUCATION WITH EMILY/EMMA STONE" double-feature!
EMILY STONE (she prefers we call her that rather than EMMA, and she asked nice!) stars in this teen comedy with wit and stars-a-plenty. When a little white lie has the whole school thinking quiet girl-next-door Olive is a prostitute, Olive takes a stand against the double standard. However, when the pressure of the Scarlet Letter effect (see, we read!) becomes too much to take, Olive needs her friends, family, and maybe even high-school evangelical Marianne (AMANDA BYNES in her last film role) to help her! Also, it's got THOMAS HADEN CHURCH, LISA KUDROW, PENN BADGLEY, DAN BYRD, MALCOM McDOWELL, and freaking more!
So put on your corset and listen to us talk teens, sex, and comedy in part 1 of "SEX EDUCATION WITH EMILY STONE!"

More EASY A (2010):
Nominated for a GLAAD Media Award for its positive portrayal of LGBTQ+ themes, "Easy A" follows the story of Olive Penderghast, a high school student who fabricates a series of lies about her sexual experiences to boost her social standing. Drawing inspiration from Nathaniel Hawthorne's novel "The Scarlet Letter," Olive finds herself entangled in a web of rumors and gossip that quickly spirals out of control. As her white lie snowballs into a full-blown reputation, Olive navigates the complexities of adolescent social dynamics with sharp wit and humor.
Starring Emma Stone in a breakout role, "Easy A" explores themes of reputation, authenticity, and the lasting impacts of deception. With a supporting cast including Stanley Tucci, Patricia Clarkson, and Amanda Bynes, the film combines elements of comedy and drama to deliver a modern twist on classic coming-of-age tropes. Through Olive's journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance, "Easy A" offers a refreshing take on the challenges of high school life and the importance of staying true to oneself, regardless of societal pressures.
Directed by Will Gluck, "Easy A" garnered critical acclaim for its charismatic performances and clever dialogue, solidifying its place as a beloved cult classic. The film's witty script and pop culture references have resonated with audiences, making it a standout in the teen comedy genre. With its blend of smart humor and heartfelt moments, "Easy A" continues to captivate viewers with its timeless message of embracing one's individuality in the face of adversity.
