Episode 53 - Ten Things I Hate About You - a podcast by Movie Podcast

I know you can be overwhelmed, and you can be underwhelmed, but can you ever just be whelmed? - This week we're going back to English class via way of 1990s Seattle in 10 Things I Hate About You.  Grab an aqua and join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew – Ian, Liam, Ellie, and Georgia as we consider a retelling of Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew.  We couldn't take our eyes off of this film in our 53rd review as we discuss:

• Just how much does this film have to thank Shakespeare for in its characters, locations and overall plot?


• How much does this film owe Clueless, another retelling of a classic literary tale given the 90s teen film treatment


• How many feet of clearance is needed if you're going to dance on top of a table?


• How many instances were there that made us feel uncomfortable in 2021.  Also, how many situations would we refuse to allow if the gender roles were reversed?


• Is Julia Stiles the best thing about this or the worst thing about this film?


• Which member of the production crew do we determine is far too talented for this film?


• Do concussions just heal themselves once you vomit?


• Which camera shot cost a half a million dollars and was done in defiance of Disney's orders?


• How many characters in this film change on a dime?


• Whether or not 10 Things I Hate About You is the Best Film Ever?
