In this week’s recon, we cover one of Netflix’s original odes to the teen rom com, THE KISSING BOOTH (directed by Vince Marcello, starring Joey King, Joel Courtney, Jacob Elordi, Molly Ringwald, 2018).

The plot, in a nutshell 🥜: A high school student finds herself face-to-face with her long-term crush when she signs up to run a kissing booth with her bestie at the spring carnival, causing her life to take a complicated and exciting turn.

Our discussion of it, in a nutshell 🥜: we have a rather candid discussion about this film, talking over important points such as Tanna's obsession with Molly Ringwald movies, the interesting need for an actual lion tamer in this movie and the importance of the amount of material used to make up a skirt.

Plus, we ask serious life questions like: can new a relationship improve your hair? What the fudge does green taste like? And did Tanna even watch this movie? 🤔
