Flixwise Podcast


Oct 20, 2015

Did you really think we'd do a series on female directed films and not talk about Amy Heckerling's Clueless? AS IF!!

Flixwise regular, Anne Marie Kelly, outlines why she thinks the seminal 1995 teen comedy is worthy of the Flixwise Favorites List. She'll have to convince Lady P, Kristen Sales, and Marya E. Gates that her fondness for the film stems not just from wardrobe envy or a '90s nostalgia trip, but from the film's formal attributes and cultural significance as well. Listen up to see if the panel agrees that Clueless is one of the Greatest Movies of All Time.

Along the way, they talk outfits (duh!), compare Clueless to Emma--the original Jane Austen text--and admire the film's progressive take on sexuality. Plus, Kristen offers a rousing sermon on awe of the teen movie genre, which is definitely not-to-be-missed.
