Would “Clueless” be as good without the star-making performance of Alicia Silverstone? As if! Amy Heckerling’s teen comedy classic covers all the hard-hitting problems facing rich teenagers in the mid-90s: Big hats, suck-and-blow, adult-size overalls and freeway driving. It’s a real Baldwin of a script, obviously, but Silverstone delivers one of the great comedic performances of the decade. No joke.
“Clueless” also takes on big issues like immigration (there’s no RSVP on the Statue of Liberty), MeToo (pre-hashtag) and whether the dreamy Paul Rudd is an Immortal. The man doesn’t age!
Bonus! Fallon Anderson is Rollin’ with the Homies as a special guest on the podcast. She really loves the hats.
