The Nice Girls Crew webseries continues with episode 2 entitled “Count Chocula of Venice Beach.” Geraldine, Leena, and Sophie try to have an intelligent conversation about “The Count of Monte Cristo” as the drinks start flowing at their book club. Leena surprises everyone with a display of her “accidental genius,” while Geraldine regresses to some good ole fashioned playground taunting. But the real shocker of the session is Sophie’s surprising depth of imagination. Once again the topic of discussion at the book club gets derailed into adultery, revenge, and cannibalism. What’s wrong with this book club?

More about Nice Girls Crew
From award-winning Sundance helmer Tanuj Chopra (Punching at the Sun) and emerging writer/producer Christine Kwon, comes a new comedy about three best frenemies and their cray cray antics in a book club. (It’s like the female version of YOMYOMF’s The Book Club). Sophie (Lynn Chen – Saving Face, Surrogate Valentine) is the human rainbow bright, wreaking sunshine even as she reveals her inner Dexter. Geraldine (Michelle Krusiec – Chinglish, Saving Face) is the badly permed, cult leader potentate, whose talents range from spoken word dance performance to carefully balancing martini glasses. And Leena (Sheetal Sheth – Reign, Three Veils, Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World, The World Unseen) is the unabashed thug-ess in heels, whose constant refusal to read the books is matched only by her trademark tardiness. When the three come together, it’s an unforgettable mix of taut one-liners, delusions of grandeur, and explosive conversation material.
