Episode 8 - Clueless : A Flum film or whatever

This week Jen brings us a light hearted affair in the form of 90's icon clueless!

Clueless is a cult teen hit from 1995 and the antithesis of Ghost world which we previously covered. scoping out the world of the high flying and endearing Cher it is a modern remake of the classic Jane Austin Novel Emma and as such we are bound to draw some comparisons.

Finding as we work through why classic fiction is often placed in high school settings, just where we stand on dating a step sibling and overall how many types of plaid are really too much we look at clueless and the romance/lack of romance within!

So sit down relax, wish you had the wealth to own a computer in the 90's as we Chew through Amy Heckerling's take on Emma.
