Episode 133: 10 Things I Hate About You

Happy Tuesday! We thought it was about time to tackle a 90's teenage rom com because let's be honest, they have made us ALL who we are today and started with one of our favorites, 10 Things I Hate About You! From 1999 and starring Julia Stiles and Heath Ledger, this movie is an adaptation of Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew, a comedy that has clear problems in a world where we're starting to celebrate the "nasty" woman, but 10 Things does some good work in making it less about clipping an independent woman's wings and more about finding love for a woman character who didn't think love was out there for her! This movie is 90s through and through, with the baby doll style, high school cliques, and Sheik condoms! We'll talk about our love for Julia and Heath and their really unique looks, our favorite memories from high school dances, and why the somebody paid me to go out with you, but oops I fell in love with you story line is a tale as old as time, but hopefully one that is slowly fading into the sexist ether. BONUS, Sweetie rolls out another Sweetie Business plan aka The 10 Things I Hate About You Dating Service!
