193. Legally Blonde with special guest Wolfgang La Vie - a podcast by Scott and Pete

“You got into Harvard Law? What, like it’s hard?” We’re talking about 2000s comedy classic Legally Blonde with our friend Wolfgang La Vie, and whoever said orange is the new pink is seriously disturbed. This role sealed the deal, making Reese Witherspoon the titan of the industry she still is today. Reese’s Elle Woods is a true feminist icon, and this movie holds up some twenty years after its release. We discuss the evolution of Amanda Brown’s novel turned script. Going from a raunchy college comedy in the vein of American Pie, to a story of female empowerment, Legally Blonde was on to something making the “dumb blonde” the smartest person in the room. This cast is incredible. We get America's cute boyfriend from the early 2000s Luke Wilson, Selma Blair's anti-Elle Woods, and the dynamic duo Alanna Ubach and Jessica Cauffiel as the hilarious best friends. Jennifer Coolidge makes a truly iconic appearance as Elle’s nail tech bestie Paulette. “So what’s this Vivian got that you don’t... Three Tits?” still sends us. Elle taught us many important life lessons as young gays. Always believe in yourself, workplace harassment is never okay, and everyone should know the golden rules of haircare are simple and finite.”
