Pippa and KJ tackle 10 Things I Hate About You, the 1999 film adaptation of Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew! A part of a series discussing British literature that has been retooled as American teenage flicks. Listen on to hear KJ and Pippa swoon over Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles, discuss whether the source material is misogynistic, and contemplate the weird wonder of the cowboy clique at Padua High.

KJ and Pippa test their limits by watching what is considered to be one of the worst movies of all time: The Last Airbender (2010). Highlights include a serious discussion about whitewashing, KJ insulting Princess Yue's hair, and Pippa diagnosing Zuko with Daddy Issues.

Today, cohosts KJ Minzner and Pippa Russell discuss whether The Princess Bride (1987) is the perfect adaptation. We talk about differences between William Goldman's book and the Rob Reiner directed film, fun cast stories, and our own experiences with the adaptation and the source material. And of course, we pull a few quotes from the most quotable movie of all time.
