5.06 Anatomy of a 90s Literary Teen Movie Adaptation

I’ve seen Clueless so many times I can almost recite it by heart. 10 Things I Hate About You is my comfort movie, and I watched She’s the Man for my English Lit unit instead of reading the actual play, Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night. But what makes these teen flix based on classic lit so special? Why was there such a boom in this genre in the 90s? This episode we’re looking at the anatomy of a 90s literary teen movie adaptation. Grab a cup of tea and biscuit, because this is a long one. Enjoy! For a full transcription of the episode, visit my website, angourieslibrary.com – plus all my references, extra links and resources!
