Are you an Ugly or are you a Pretty? On this week’s episode of Lounge Lizards, Ashlynn and Kate talk about the recently released Netflix fever dream, Uglies, based on the YA series written by Scott Westerfeld. This movie has everything a preteen is looking for in a dystopian future — hoverboards, Instagram filters, and evil hot people!

Listen as we try to understand the psyche behind McG’s directing choices, the tuneless EDM bops on the soundtrack, and whether or not we’d get plastic surgery for a better tomorrow! What would you change about yourself if it meant “saving the world?” Would you let Laverne Cox give you a fierce makeover?

Come sit on the couch with us! new episodes now coming on Mondays across all platforms. Video version available on YouTube. If you like what you’re hearing, please show us some love in the form of a rating and a comment! Love ya!!!!

What’s the Street Sayin’
It's what's on the inside that counts, but unfortunately Uglies doesn't have much going on in there, either.
