From Bell to Bell - A Podcast About School

15 - Clueless (with James Pascucci and Shannon Johnston)


Listen Later

In this episode we talk with two of Sara's former students about one of the quintessential teen movies of our lifetimes. The layers of Clueless are so fun to unravel because of its smart, funny writing, and its memorable characters, but also because it tethers us to a unique time in teen cultural history - the 1990s. Not to mention it's a better adaptation of Jane Austen's 19th century novel, Emma, than any of the actual literal adaptations made in the last 30 years (we're looking at you, Gwyneth Paltrow). Join us as we dissect everything about this movie that makes us love Beverly Hills high school, and some things that make us loathe it.

Let us know what you think!
