Episode #47

Tuesday, June 2, 2026

Hey GLUs! Welcome to book club. Today, Lisi and Ellen break down the breakdown that is Dial L For Loser.

Now that the girls are expelled from OCD, Massie, Claire, and Alicia experience what every seventh grader experiences when kicked out of school—they fly private to Los Angeles, get put up in a five-star hotel, and audition for a blockbuster Hollywood movie. Sure, there are three of them and only one role. But they’re the best of friends. They’re supportive. When one succeeds, they all succeed. Right?

PUH-LEASE!

The peace that existed between Massie and Kuh-lair in Revenge of the Wannabees is Dial O for Over. Claire beats out Massie and Alicia and gets emotionally abused as a result. When she dares make friends with her castmates, whell, that’s the last straw! They ice her out, sabotage her relationship with Cam, and hide embarrassing ointments and diarrhea meds in her trailer, which they broadcast on national television.

Lisi and Ellen discuss the insanity; Ellen shares how she prepared for the role of Claire; and Lisi reads lines that somehow passed inspection in the aughts but would never fly in 2026.

**Bonus points if you can name the 1952 movie this title pays homage to.

**Gossip points if you can name the IRL celebrity feud that inspired the fictional drama between Hadley and Abby.

**No points if you get your answers from this episode. (Sorry, Millennials, your days of getting trophies for showing up are over. )

xoxo Lisi and Ellen
