Overview

On the first day at his new school, Cameron instantly falls for Bianca, the gorgeous girl of his dreams. The only problem is that Bianca is forbidden to date until her ill-tempered, completely un-dateable older sister Kat goes out, too. In an attempt to solve his problem, Cameron singles out the only guy who could possibly be a match for Kat: a mysterious bad boy with a nasty reputation of his own.

I know you can be overwhelmed, and you can be underwhelmed, but can you ever just be whelmed? - This week we're going back to English class via way of 1990s Seattle in 10 Things I Hate About You.  Grab an aqua and join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew – Ian, Liam, Ellie, and Georgia as we consider a retelling of Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew.  We couldn't take our eyes off of this film in our 53rd review as we discuss:

  • Just how much does this film have to thank Shakespeare for in its characters, locations and overall plot?
  • How much does this film owe Clueless, another retelling of a classic literary tale given the 90s teen film treatment
  • How many feet of clearance is needed if you're going to dance on top of a table?
  • How many instances were there that made us feel uncomfortable in 2021.  Also, how many situations would we refuse to allow if the gender roles were reversed?
  • Is Julia Stiles the best thing about this or the worst thing about this film?
  • Which member of the production crew do we determine is far too talented for this film?
  • Do concussions just heal themselves once you vomit?
  • Which camera shot cost a half a million dollars and was done in defiance of Disney's orders?
  • How many characters in this film change on a dime?
  • Whether or not 10 Things I Hate About You is the Best Film Ever?
