For the second week of our love & romance month, we're taking a nostalgic trip back to the late 90s to revisit 10 Things I Hate About You--one of the standouts among the rash of teen movies that came out around the same time. This adaptation of William Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew, which John and Georgia also have a special connection to, features a number of fantastic performances by young actors who have gone on to have strong careers, including Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Julia Stiles, and, of course, the late great Heath Ledger. We discuss 90s riot grrrl and post-riot grrrl music, father/daughter relationships, the perils of not seeking popularity, adapting Shakespeare to modern times (and how screenwriters Karen McCullah and Kirsten Smith are great at it), how Patrick and Kat could have turned dating for cash into lucrative moneymaking endeavor, and how much we love David Krumholtz as Michael and every other role he's taken on. Strike up the marching band and give us a listen!
