For more Ayo Edebiri, Golden Globe and Emmy Award winner for The Bear, look no further. Emma Seligman's R-rated queer teen comedy "Bottoms" finally streamed on Prime Video this week.

The film stars Edevili and Rachel Sennott ("Bodies, Bodies, Bodies") as a pair of unattractive teenage best friends who come up with a reckless plan to convince the hottest cheerleaders in school to sleep with them, a girls' fight club. They come up with a foolhardy plan called the Girls Fight Club. Technically, it's a self-defense club purporting to empower women, but you get the general gist. The group grows in popularity, and soon the most popular girls in the school are beating each other up in the name of self-defense. A wild and irreverent satire, critics likened it to the "Superbad" of this generation.
