Season 4: The Buffs Learn To Love – A Rom Com Summer

Episode 4 – TAMING OF THE TEENAGERS – 10 Things I Hate About You (1999)

Hosts: Matt and Joe

Guest: Deidre

Movie: 10 Things I Hate About You (1999)

This week, Matt and Joe are joined by guest host Deidre to break down the high school Shakespeare adaptation that made us all swoon: 10 Things I Hate About You. With a killer ’90s soundtrack, teen angst, and Heath Ledger crooning from the bleachers, it’s no wonder this movie still hits like a well-aimed paintball to the heart.

From poetry slams to prom dresses, we talk through the movie’s big moments, the surprising emotional depth, and what still works (or doesn’t) 25 years later. Plus, Deidre brings the Gen X wisdom and Kat Stratford energy this episode desperately needed.
