Josephine Langford & Josie Totah Talk Girl Power In New Movie 'Moxie'

The new movie Moxie is coming out TOMORROW (March 3) on Netflix!

Two of the film’s stars, Josephine Langford and Josie Totah, recently opened up about the feminism and girl power theme of the movie.

“It’s definitely an important film because a lot of the issues in it are really relevant. It talks about bias in school dress codes we’re seeing come up more … and more attention is being drawn to this,” Josephine told TooFab. “And [the film is] just about speaking up. It touches on intersectionality and feminism and generational differences in activism and how different generations choose to advocate differently, you know, the younger generation [advocates] more with social media. And so I think it just touches on a lot of really relevant things for the time that we’re living in.”

“There are lot of different things people can take from the film about not just feminism, but family and friendships and speaking up,” she added about what she hopes people take away from the movie. “The overall message that I would hope people get from it is to find your voice and find your moxie — that might just be speaking up in other areas of life, like at school, in your family or in the workplace with friends, but just learning how you can speak up.”

Josie dished about the film’s depiction of marginalized and disenfranchised groups.

“I’m so happy that this film can be made and depict multiple women from multiple different backgrounds,” she also told TooFab. “And these are experiences that happened in real life and they continue to happen. And in order for that to change, there needs to be concrete growth. And I do think this movie is a step in the right direction.”

Amy Poehler is a powerhouse. She is an incredible tour de force human being. But also she’s an incredible ally,” she added about the film’s director. “And I think her intention to really making this film so inclusive, so representative of the different identities that exist in real life and telling their stories authentically, not just for the art of tokenism or for show was so incredible and so wonderfully refreshing.”

Josie Totah Says The 'Saved By The Bell' Season 2 Writers Room Is More Diverse

Josephine Langford, Hadley Robinson & More Star In 'Moxie' Trailer - Watch Now!

The official trailer for the upcoming movie Moxie just debuted on Tuesday morning (February 2)!

The new film has quite the cast of young stars, including Josephine Langford, Hadley Robinson, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Josie Totah, Sydney Park and more.

Here’s a synopsis: Vivian (Robinson), a seemingly shy 16-year-old, has always preferred to keep her head down and fly under the radar. But when the arrival of a new student (Alycia Pascual-Peña) forces her to examine the unchecked behavior of her fellow students running rampant at her high school, Vivian realizes she’s fed up.

Inspired by her mother’s (Amy Poehler) rebellious past, Vivian anonymously publishes an underground zine called Moxie to expose bias and wrongdoing in her high school, and unexpectedly sparks a movement. Now at the center of a revolution, Vivian begins to forge new friendships with other young women and allies, reaching across the divide of cliques and clubs as they learn to navigate the highs and lows of high school together.

The movie, directed by Amy Poehler, also stars Lauren Tsai, Nico Hiraga, Clark Gregg, Anjelika Washington, Charlie Hall, and Sabrina Haskett, with Ike Barinholtz and Marcia Gay Harden.

Look out for Moxie on March 3rd on Netflix!

'Saved By The Bell' Reboot Renewed For Season 2 at Peacock!

Saved By The Bell is coming back for more!

It was just announced on Tuesday morning (January 19) that the reboot series has been picked up for a second season on the streaming service Peacock.

“I’m thrilled that Saved By The Bell has been renewed. I’ve been blown away by all the love for the show and can’t wait to go back and make more episodes,” writer and executive producer Tracey Wigfield said in a statement. “Hopefully we stay on Peacock for many more seasons, and then in 30 years, somebody does a reboot of our reboot and invents the threeboot.”

In the new series, when California governor Zack Morris gets into hot water for closing too many underfunded high schools, he proposes they send the affected students to the most well-funded schools in the state – including Bayside High. The influx of new students gives the privileged Bayside kids (who never have a problem that can’t be solved in twenty-two minutes) a much-needed dose of reality.​

Saved By The Bell stars Josie Totah, Haskiri Velasquez, Dexter Darden, Alycia Pascual-Pena, Mitchell Hoog, Belmont Cameli and John Michael Higgins, as well as original stars Tiffani Thiessen, Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Mario Lopez and Elizabeth Berkley.

Josie Totah Opens Up About The Diversity & Representation on 'Saved By The Bell'

Josie Totah is speaking out about making sure there was proper representation and diversity behind the scenes of Saved By The Bell.

The 19-year-old actress not only stars in the upcoming series, but she’s also a producer!

In a recent interview, Josie opened up about taking on the role of producer to ensure that there was proper representation behind the camera to help tell the stories in a more authentic way.

“The more we got to talking about [my] character and her storyline, specifically her gender identity, it became clear to me that if I was going to do the show, I needed to have more stake in it,” she told Variety. “If we were going to explore her gender identity, there had to be going representation behind the camera or in our writers’ room or on our producing team. And I was so grateful that Universal and [showrunner] Tracey Wigfield really championed me and allowed me to be a producer on this project because I didn’t feel comfortable doing a show that explored my character’s gender identity if representation didn’t exist. I didn’t feel it was right, I didn’t feel like the story would be told authentically, and I would have had to have stakes in my character’s story in order to do it.”

“I think so often on a show when you’re working with people who are younger or maybe less experienced, they feel like they can’t speak up or use their voice on something,” Josie added. “So it was really important to me to be a voice for the [other young actors] on our show, specifically Alycia Pascual-Peña. The first thing that I did in that role was making sure our hair department reflected our cast and that we had representation in that sense because Alycia, she’s a Black woman and had never had a Black artist do her hair. So on aspects like that it was super, super humbling and just a privilege to be a part of. It taught me that and it was super fun to have a voice at the table.”

Josie also said that their showrunner Tracey would look to her and the rest of the cast to make sure that certain things reflected authentically.

“Just getting to have a voice was super cool because our showrunner Tracey was constantly turning to not only me as a producer but also the entire cast to do a temperature check with us, to see if it felt right or if whatever we were saying or doing in the episode reflected not only our age group but also our identities, whether that was our race or our gender,” she shared. “We always got to have input. At one point me and my cast mate Dexter [Darden] sat down with our showrunner and Matthew Cherry, who’s an incredible director and an amazing man, and we rewrote a scene sitting in the Max, right after rehearsal but before we were about to shoot it. And I think that’s a testament to how much Tracey cares about our show and wants it to reflect reality, and that was super cool.”

In case you missed it, be sure to check out the Saved By The Bell trailer, and tune in to the premiere on November 25th on Peacock.
