    Clueless (30th anniversary)
    Oct 1 2025
    You're not totally buggin' - Clueless is now 30 years old! To celebrate, Mark welcomes his homies Melissa Ward and Jason Kashiwagi back on the show to take a trip down memory freeway. This trendsetting, aspirational Amy Heckerling classic only gets better with age, but they wonder if the romantic ending is actually pretty weird and ponder what direction the upcoming TV show continuation could go in. Plus, Mark shares what happens in his Clueless 2 script that he wrote in elementary school, the trio decides if Paul Rudd or Jeremy Sisto was cuter, and the other 1995 teen movie Kids (less virgins in that one) gets a shout-out.

    Happy Pride, Rewinders! Here's an extra queer episode featuring '80s gender bending, sex jokes, and flashing! Mark welcomes fellow podcaster, writer, and movie lover Devin Lotfi back to the show to be his prom date and celebrate the 1985 cult classic Just One of the Guys for its 40th anniversary. Some of you don't know this movie and frankly, how dare you! They each watched it on cable as kids, laughing, gasping, and relating to the experience of hiding your true self and blending in. Before Amanda Bynes disguised herself as a boy in the great She's the Man, Joyce Hyser did it here two decades earlier and busted out that memorable reveal.

    Listen to Devin's podcast I Don't Want To Hear That, about top tier TV series The Comeback, which just celebrated 20 years! We love you, Valerie! @idontwanttohearthat
