Published: Aug. 21, 2015, noon

It's been 20 years since Clueless—writer/director Amy Heckerling's 90's--pop take on Jane Austen's Emma--hit theaters, but we still feel its effects on pop culture today.

Dave, Mike, and Ivan dive back into Heckerling's opulent Beverly Hills high school world to find out.
