Paid in Puke S9E4: Clueless

On season 9, episode 4 of Paid in Puke Podcast, we scratch the surface of Amy Heckerling‘s 1995 star-making high school comedy, “Clueless”, starring Alicia Silverstone, Brittany Murphy, Stacey Dash, and Dan Hedeya. Heckerling wrote the script based on “Emma”, the classic novel by Jane Austen. 

Special guest, Katie Lee Ellison, joins us to talk about what the film meant to her as a 10-year-old living in L.A., the glaring flaws she sees today, and the ways in which this iconic film continues to influence her life.  

On Keggers w/ Kids, Baxter’s teen gives her modern take on this very 90s film. Plus: The Valley Horse Girl Test, and why Paul Rudd might not be as ageless as we once thought! 

Find Katie Lee Ellison on her website and insta, for information about her lectures, panels, and published essays!

Paid in Puke S5E10: Fast Times/The Anniversary Party

On our series 5 finale, we’re doing a double shot of Jennifer Jason Leigh and Phoebe Cates, with Amy Heckerling’s 1982 comedy debut, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, written by Cameron Crowe, and 2001’s Mumblecore template drama, The Anniversary Party, written and directed by Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Alan Cumming. These two films are spiritual sequels, linked by JJL and Cates’ twenty year friendship. Fast Times is also Amy’s favorite movie of all time! Both of these films find a perfect balance between the realistic struggles of women in these respective places in their lives, and belly-laugh comedy. Plus hella abortions.

Two movies means we double your pleasure on Meaningful Passages and Lunchtime Polls!

Paid in Puke is taking a break but we’ll return soon with Series 6!
