WATCH: Bottoms fight over tops in this raunchy queer teen comedy
Heathers, Clueless, Mean Girls—it feels like every generation has their definitive teen comedy, one that uses the high school setting as a sandbox and plays with its own rules to capture the zeitgeist.
They’re unforgettable, quotable, endlessly re-watchable, and simply iconic.And Bottoms? Well, Bottoms just wants to get laid.But, in the pursuit of getting some action, it might just become the next future classic, one we’ll be quoting for years to come.
Bottoms looks like it’s about to be the horny, bloody, riotously funny queer teen comedy we’ve been waiting for.The film finds director Emma Seligman reuniting with her Shiva Baby star Rachel Sennott (the Bodies Bodies Bodies scene-stealer) and linking up with The Bear breakout Ayo Edebiri as high school seniors, PJ and Josie, respectively.
They’re the school’s “ugly, untalented gays” according to the principal (yes, really), but they’ve got a plan to end up on top—on top of the cheerleaders that is.After an incident that finds them injuring the football team’s star player (Red, White, & Royal Blue hearthtrob Nicholas Galitzine), PJ and Josie con their way into starting the school’s first self-defense club—a “fight club,” if you will.Why should you be excited about the ‘Red, White & Royal Blue’ adaptation?
