SKYLIT: Veronica Litt, UGH! AS IF! CLUELESS


Listen Later

This is so unexpected, we didn't even have a speech prepared. Author Veronica Litt joins us to talk about her new book in ECW Press's Pop Classics series, Ugh! As If!, on Amy Heckerling's classic film comedy Clueless. This is the 30th Anniversary of Clueless's theatrical release, and the book is both a warm, conversational appreciation and clear-eyed dissection of what the movie gets wonderfully right and what is a bit cringe now.  


Litt talks with bookseller Justin Remer about Clueless and all sorts of tangential topics including Jane Austen, girly art, human potato Channing Tatum, footnotes, audiobooks, and the Fast and Furious franchise.  

Get the book from Skylight and order the audiobook from Libro.FM please!  

Hosted and produced by Justin Remer. 
Recorded remotely via Zencastr.  

Opening music: "Optimism (Instrumental)" by Duck the Piano Wire.  
Closing music: "Rule of 3s (Solemnity Child)" by Elastic No-No Band.
