Nerds Against Normality

Clueless (1995) Review | The Dark Secret Nobody Talks About


Listen Later

We review Clueless, the endlessly quotable 90s teen classic, exploring why it became a cult favourite — and the surprisingly dark subtext people still argue about today.

We unpack whether Clueless really is a modern adaptation of Emma, debate whether Cher Horowitz is a misunderstood hero or low-key high-school villain, and look at why the film’s fashion, quotes, and cultural impact refuse to die.

We also dig into the behind-the-scenes trivia, cast glow-ups, and the things fans still get wrong — before settling the eternal debate: Clueless vs Mean Girls vs Legally Blonde. Who actually rules the teen-comedy throne?

Before the review, we catch up on what we’ve been watching and playing: early impressions of Ghost of Yōtei on PS5, Stacey dives into Squid Game: The Challenge Season 2, and Ben tackles Netflix’s Devil May Cry anime and whether it does Dante justice.

Whether you’re here for the nostalgia, the fashion, the cast throwbacks, or just to hear us argue about whether Cher is secretly the villain, this is the Clueless review for you.
