A couple years ago my brilliant and charming partner @RRombom offhandedly mentioned that someone was making a movie about a piece she reported for her Long Island high school newspaper.
She was pretty chill about it and it was a HS newspaper so I thought oh cool whatever, right? and went back to doing whatever I was doing (probably something related to yogurt). Well.
It turns out it was a little bit of a bigger deal than she let on.

First off, the cast is wild.
@RealHughJackman stars and this guy seems to think he did a bang-up job.

Rebekah is played by Geraldine Viswanatha as a character named Rachel.
Fun-fact: Rachel is the #1 name people call Rebekah when they forget her name or get it wrong.
(Sidebar: Miracle Workers which @yoyogeraldinev stars in is perfectly charming and I recommend it.)

Anyways. The movie is called Bad Education. It& #39;s out tonight and everyone can watch it on HBO.
We haven’t seen it yet, but I’ve haven’t been this excited for a movie premiere since Transformers in 1986.
