Grab your blanket and get cozy. This week Beth and Michelle are curling up with the ultimate 90s teen rom-com, 10 Things I Hate About You (1999), starring Heath Ledger, Julia Stiles, Larisa Oleynik, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Larry Miller.
We're breaking down how this loose Taming of the Shrew adaptation still holds up 25+ years later: Kat's cynicism as armor, Bianca's slow climb out of the shallow end, Patrick's mask of "bad boy," and the father just trying (badly) to hold his daughters close. We geek out over the Shakespeare connections (Padua, Verona, Stratford, if you know, you know), talk through the movie's deeper moments.
Plus: real house filming locations, a surprising Frankie Valli needle drop, a cameo from Letters to Cleo, and, of course, the Stitch Count gets a 7 of 9.
