Basic Bitches Movie Club

For the final episode of season 1, we keep it all in the family and talk between us about 1992's Wayne's World!

We talk to Lande Hekt about the 2003 Jack Black movie School of Rock.

We talk to Rebecca, Sunny and Stephanie from Desert Sharks about Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet from 1996.

We talk to Kate and Amanda from Proud Miranda about the 1999 teen movie 10 Things I Hate About You. We discuss the surprisingly eclectic soundtrack, the creepiest of screen dads and how just many late 90s teen movies featured sex bets.
