Aloha! Do you know what time it is? Island time! That’s right, this month, we’re heading to the beautiful shores of Hawaii to talk all about Rip Girls. A movie filled with surfing, self-discovery, and…real estate? Huh, that didn’t end up sounding as enticing as I thought. Plus, there really isn’t as much surfing as you’d think with that title. Although the title is really misleading actually. Also, they didn’t even shoot it in Hawaii, and the real estate plot makes no sense when applied to a thirteen-year-old. So, uh, yeah. I guess just be prepared for a lot of teenaged self-discovery! Woot-woot!

Emma is here for Camilla Belle and gets some comeuppance. Luke just doesn’t get it and stands his ground about real estate. 

Claire makes clear her DCOM devotion.
