It’s summer and we’re in *a mood* so we decided it was finally time to talk about the unfairly maligned and absolutely brilliant Diablo Cody. If we’re going to be honest to blog, we love everything Diablo does (Emily especially), but this week we’re focusing on one of her most challenging works: 2011’s YOUNG ADULT. Why does this uncompromising, uncomfortable character study about a depressed writer obsessed with her high school beau not get discussed more? Could it have something to do with how so many other Diablo scripts - JENNIFER’S BODY, TULLY, RICKI AND THE FLASH - are dismissed for centering on “unlikeable” leading ladies (a.k.a. women dealing with legitimate issues like life, death and mental health)?

We Really Like Her! is produced by Danita Steinberg and Emily Gagne, edited by Sonya Suraci, with a theme song by Emily Milling.
