Can confirm that “being an American is the worst thing a person could do” is a fundamental part of British culture - wild child truly ate with that one
I absolutely love that Mike is so unaware and pure that his only grievance against Russel Brand is that he's "the guy you broke up with Katy Perry over text before her performance in Brazil" instead of ...all the other things.
So so real those movies are way underrated. I really wanna hear him cover St Trinians 2 now, I need to hear his opinion on evil blonde David Tennant lol
Yeess!!! I love St Trinians, my sister and I watch it pretty much every year. Rupert Everitt and Colin Firth are so funny in it too!! Everyone in it is iconic. The script is bonkers funny, the costumes, the characters, the story lines, the music! Agh! So good!!! ❤️🖤💜
It's not even so much about friendships as it is about showing the many faces of girlhood. All the girls are different, some weird, some borderline psychos, some bad b*****... The movie feels like the last day of summer camp when you do whatever you want with your girl friends!
kimberley nixon being in both wild child and angus thongs & perfect snogging playing school girls each time but both having wildly different personalities is kind of iconic of her
The british media agenda that IMMEDIATELY followed the rodent agenda of 2006/2007 cannot be a coincidence. Flushed Away was British too. Anyway my theory is that Britsh people/rodent agenda of 2006-2008 is the single reason for the market crash that immediately followed
The way that “Slaggy Lindsay” from Angus Thongs and Perfect Snogging was also Kate in wild child AND that Juno Temple was in Wild Child and St.Trinians altered my brain chemistry when i was like 12
@@user-ed7et3pb4oJuno wasn’t in Ella Enchanted. I think you’re getting her mixed up with Lucy Punch who was in St Trinian’s. She plays a mean girl so well!
Talulah Riley was also in Doctor Who (S4 - Silence in the Library) and St Trinian’s 2 has David Tennant. If Doctor Who is the measure then the St Trinian’s franchise defo wins!
Omgomgimg thats where I know her from!!! I remember thinking omg I love this actress she's great cant wait to see her as the doctor! Then I coulnt for the life of me figure out where exactly I knew her from 🤣🤣🤣🤣 but yh all the cast in St trinians and even some in Wild child are peak British Celebrity 😂😂😂 we love to recast our people especially in television omg the bbc, channel 4 and itv keep british celebrity WORKING 😂😂
@@HerHollyness and she's now married to thomas brodie-sangster, who was also in doctor who AND love actually AND played paul mccartney in nowhere boy AND ferb. very iconic VERY british.
St Trinians literally altered my brain chemistry and shaped my entire personality when I was like 9. And now my parasocial UA-camr bestie whose videos I've been bingeing all through my uni is making a video on it. The way I'm screaming and crying right now
about to spend the next 37 min of my life watching you talk about movies ive never watched and never plan on watching and im going to love every second
Can't believe there was no mention of the scene to She's So Lovely with Georgia running dressed as an olive in the soundtrack section! An iconic british moment
American being the worst thing you can be is very reflective of the British girl experience lmao 😭 when teachers put on a video in school that has an American person in it they’ll apologise haha
I don't think we can overstate how huge St Trinians was. People dressed up as these girls for halloween for YEARS afterwards. The Girls Aloud cover was a school dance favourite and everyone thought their school was St Trinians.
I read the title as Who won the 2008 British Bake-Off for reasons entirely unknown to me and it took me a solid 4 minutes of waiting for mike to tie these movies into it before recognizing my Mistake™️
St. Trinians has always been my favourite ‘this is so fucking dumb I love it’ watch it with your brain turned off and what little remains of your British pride turned on film. It feels like a fever dream and I adore that. Also I’m a sucker for found family and despite the movies whole plot it has surprisingly a lot of that. They’re doing dumb convoluted crime shit BUT they all really care about eachother and I think that’s what really cemented its place in my heart.
wait until mike realises that Kate from wild child is Linsday from Angus thongs, and drippy from wild child is Celia in st trinanas, they were BOOKED and busy that year
I didn't know she was dead, I am devastated. But it does showcase perfectly why I will never go skiing ever. RIP Queen, I'm sure you still slay in heaven 🙏🏻
23:25 no but ok there are SO many more iconic lines from angus thongs and perfect snogging that i use on the DAILY: “georgia, why’re your legs oringe?” “flip flipper and flipping ‘ell” “i wrote a song about you - it’s called bitch in a uniform”
Can't believe you didn't mention that Talulah Riley was Mary in Pride and Prejudice with Keira Knightley. Or that Lily Cole was in St. Trinian's. Maybe it's just because I was a ginger growing up in the early 2000's, but seeing the model Lily Cole be in a film absolutely shook me.
angus thongs and perfect snogging scoring lowest for soundtrack is personally offensive to me when we have bangers she’s so lovely by scouting for girls and ultraviolet by the stiff dylans
me too I have precious memories of buying and listening to the Angus Thongs soundtrack ‘album’ on my ipod nano on the bus to school as a 13 y/o British girl
The word lush had its moment around that era, but not used so colloquially nowadays. BUT pretty sure the character who said it is Welsh and that is a firm favourite adjective with them
Two nights ago, I dreamt I met Mike, we both saw a panther and I said "she's very Julia Fox coded isn't she?" He looked me up and down, walked away, and returned to his job as a Bunnings team member. I still have not recovered.
As a Brit who was a teen in 2008 this video was perfection! St Trinians is probably my favourite but Wild Child has become a weird comfort film of mine!
forever grateful to you for shedding light on the british girl experience of the 2000s. may i humbly suggest as a subject for future analysis the post-financial-crash-era loss of the brit teen rom com? i genuinely can't think of any except chalet girl and tamara drewe. (and about time but that's too heavy!) it seems like we are living through the revival now though! :)
I’ve seen a few other comments say this but I want to thank you from the bottom of my British 13 year old in 2008 heart for making this video. I regularly still listen to ‘Ultraviolet’ by the Stiff Dylans and these three films hold such a special place in my heart 🥹
I’ll never forget the feeling as a 10 year old American child visiting Shropshire, England in 2008 and watching St Trinian’s in the theaters with my new little posh friends feeling fit AF!
@chloemortimore172 shropshire girlie's unite! I mean how many of us have moved away since 😂 but my school experience was defo more St Trinians than Wild Child
I’m from the southern United States, and I definitely stood out there lol, but the small town feel reminded me of the little town I grew up in. I loved it. The people were delightful. And I know this makes me sound extremely American, but y’all had a McDonald’s in like a CASTLE! Still the coolest McDonald’s ever lol
The way I was holding my breath with each category, preparing (even though it would have broken my heart) to fight Mike if he didn't end up picking my favorite out of the three (the same movie that changed my brain chemistry forever) and the vindication in the end when his extremely scientific scoring system declared my favorite movie as the winner. This must be how the male species feel after their favourite team wins the world cup or something. These 37:30 minutes were everything. The validation from the mmcu and Mr. Microphone himself might just have healed my inner child.
bonus points for st trinians: Talulah riley was in the keira knightley pride and prejudice just to add to the britishness and compound all the mr darcy references. she also actually went to cheltenham ladies' college irl- the silliness of it all
Wait! Hold on.... A video discussing the iconic, legendary, complete and utter nuclear bomb of art and culture that is the Madagascar franchise would be soooo amazing!
NOOOO because 'Ultraviolet' by Stiff Dylan's still show up on my spotify wrapped every year. God, Aaron is such a proper fit in this era and STILL IS!!! 🥴❤️
foaming at the mouth that you're bringing up st trinians in the year of our lord 2024 we are so blessed. this was my hyperfixation movie as a kid so i have to infodump about a few things that weren't mentioned: 1. colin firth and rupert everett did movies together decades ago at the start of their careers and this is constantly referenced in st trinians (like the lines: 'another time' 'another country') and what makes their relationship in the movie so aaaa!!!! another level!!! 2. the receptionist is played by jodie whitaker who is??? literally the doctor??? which is like the most british thing ever??? should have got extra points for that imo anyway go watch st trinians
I realize Skins is a series and not a movie but! it’s otherwise a perfect example of this british teen slice of life late 2000s/early 2010s genre. I started watching Skins shortly after binge watching LOST and both were extremely impactful to my love of tv and culture
Omg if he did a full skins breakdown video I would be so happy. That show WAS my teenage years, sneakily watching it on the tv in the kitchen so my parents wouldn't catch me
I'd love to see a Skins video! It was filmed near me which meant we had auditions at my school and I had friends who were in it. It was really the 2008 teen phenomenon for us

@@user-ed7et3pb4oJuno wasn’t in Ella Enchanted. I think you’re getting her mixed up with Lucy Punch who was in St Trinian’s. She plays a mean girl so well!
Another cast adding to the Britishness of St Trinians is Jodie Whittaker being the 13th Doctor Who, one of the most British shows to ever British lol

this is the BEST video ever produced by someone with a masters in mechanical engineering

Can't believe Ultraviolet didn't get a mention in the soundtrack category! And 'wee tight bob' is an iconic quote from Wild Child!
23:25 no but ok there are SO many more iconic lines from angus thongs and perfect snogging that i use on the DAILY:
“georgia, why’re your legs oringe?”
“flip flipper and flipping ‘ell”
“i wrote a song about you - it’s called bitch in a uniform”
this is EXACTLY what i came here to say t
he writers using their 1 swear word allowance on yeah it’s called bitch in a uniform is ICONic
'Zitney spears or what!!' literally quote that every time I break out
washing machine syndrome!!
‘angus looks like he’s in brokeback mountain’ is a personal favorite
the book was also full of excellent names for things, I use "Im having a nervy b" for a nervous breakdown/panic attack constantly
This video had it all and more!!! Mike calling Juno Temple "June Birch," the Ariana Grande sleeves, and the Disney character brat transitions.
So proud of the respect you put on st trinians name…also pls do a full video on st trinians 2 it’s incredible
As a UK girlie that was 13 in 2008, I will take no slander to the ATPS soundtrack thank youuuu. Stiff Dylan’s iconic boy and behaviour x
Can't believe you didn't mention that Talulah Riley was Mary in Pride and Prejudice with Keira Knightley. Or that Lily Cole was in St. Trinian's. Maybe it's just because I was a ginger growing up in the early 2000's, but seeing the model Lily Cole be in a film absolutely shook me.

Oh my god i never thought I'd see mikes mic do a comparison of my three fave movies of all timw
The segment where he pairs songs from the Brat album to the movies is chefs kiss and honestly feels so specifically tailored to my mind😭💚💚
a deep dive into St Trinian's 2: The Legend of Fritton's Gold (2009)...... would make me very happy
Video slayed, scoring system was in fact criminal behaviour but this is the MMCU and we are just living in it so I'll give you this one.
