On the podcast this week, Steven and Sean are reliving our youthful ‘90s years with a very special guest in the 1995 film from Amy Heckerling, Clueless. We’re delighted to be joined by a new friend of the show, Corey Grosklos, a.k.a. Mr. Big Daddy. For a special guest episode, would we ever dare watch a film that didn’t provide a completely good time for all to be had? As if! Nah, instead we’re going to watch a movie that’s somehow both timeless and also firmly stuck in the ‘90s. How it manages that great feat is what makes this one so magical. You could probably blame its source material for that. To be honest, I’ve not ever read Emma, by Jane Austen, but I do know that it’s also a timeless and inspirational story. Heck, they keep making movies based on its story, so it was no surprise to any of us when we ended up having a damn good time while watching Cher try to make it through high school. She is super-rich, though, and that never hurts anything. I’d be willing to bet that my high school years would have been a little less stressful if my parents were super-rich. Heck, my current life would be a whole lot easier if that was the case. Do any rich people reading these show notes want to adopt an endearing and loving podcaster/podcast show notes writer? I promise to be as pleasant and bubbly as Cher. Since that’s probably not going to happen, I’ll just say that you owe it to yourself to give this film a watch, even if you’ve already seen it before. Don’t fall for the trap of being too influenced by the film’s marketing materials. Sure, these characters all speak with heavy Valley Girl accents, but that really shouldn’t be enough to turn you away. There’s a kind of innocence to this film. It’ll make you feel happy and keep you that way.
