Meet the Cast and Characters of Netflix's "Moxie"
Get your scissors and markers ready, because it's time to join the Moxie revolution. Netflix's latest film, Moxie, follows a group of young women at a high school where a yearly list ranks them sexually and they've had enough of it. Inspired by the riot grrrl movement — a feminist punk movement from the 90s — an anonymous student decides to create their own zine, Moxie, to help share their frustrations. It sparks a movement and it will totally inspire you to want to do the same. While Amy Poehler is starring in and directing the film, the cast is filled with tons of familiar faces from our favorite teen shows and movies. So who is starring in Moxie? And what can we expect from their characters?
