On the podcast this week, Steven and Sean are reliving our youthful \\u201890s years with a very special guest in the 1995 film from Amy Heckerling, Clueless. We\\u2019re delighted to be joined by a new friend of the show, Corey Grosklos, a.k.a. Mr. Big Daddy.

For a special guest episode, would we ever dare watch a film that didn\\u2019t provide a completely good time for all to be had? As if! Nah, instead we\\u2019re going to watch a movie that\\u2019s somehow both timeless and also firmly stuck in the \\u201890s. How it manages that great feat is what makes this one so magical.

You could probably blame its source material for that. To be honest, I\\u2019ve not ever read Emma, by Jane Austen, but I do know that it\\u2019s also a timeless and inspirational story. Heck, they keep making movies based on its story, so it was no surprise to any of us when we ended up having a damn good time while watching Cher try to make it through high school.

She is super-rich, though, and that never hurts anything. I\\u2019d be willing to bet that my high school years would have been a little less stressful if my parents were super-rich. Heck, my current life would be a whole lot easier if that was the case. Do any rich people reading these show notes want to adopt an endearing and loving podcaster/podcast show notes writer?

I promise to be as pleasant and bubbly as Cher.

Since that\\u2019s probably not going to happen, I\\u2019ll just say that you owe it to yourself to give this film a watch, even if you\\u2019ve already seen it before. Don\\u2019t fall for the trap of being too influenced by the film\\u2019s marketing materials. Sure, these characters all speak with heavy Valley Girl accents, but that really shouldn\\u2019t be enough to turn you away. There\\u2019s a kind of innocence to this film. It\\u2019ll make you feel happy and keep you that way.
