Well, well, well if it isn&apos;t an early 2000s MASTERPIECE (mostly). Audrey and Helen discuss "Bring It On" - the earliest movie they&apos;ve discussed thus far! Released right as Y2K was taking its inaugural breaths, it gifted us this seminal classic. (Dramatic? Maybe? But Audrey wrote this write-up and she is a BIG FAN).Audrey and Helen discuss Queen Kirsten Dunst and, as always, the things that hold up very very well (some of the race issues), and the things that really really do not (erm...the football game scene). The two pals discuss their early dreams of being high school cheerleaders, dreams that never came to fruition because they instead decided to become theatre kids. Ah, what could have been!Enjoy this episode!

The girls are back from winter vacay with their FIRST Mary Kate and Ashley movie--New York Minute! Audrey and Helen baffle at all the A-List celebrities that signed on for this movie, as well as drool over Jared Padalecki (how can you not ?). And it wouldn&apos;t be an episode of Y2KCast without delving in a little on all the questionable shit people got away with in the 2000s. Today&apos;s featured nonsense? Appropriation and Andy Richter&apos;s wildly bad Chinese accent that the writers absolutely did not need to include.
