Sidetracked with Abbie and Jon

This week we take it back to 1999 but make it Shakespearean once again with 10 Things I Hate About You. The film, directed by Jill Unger and released on Touchstone Pictures, Mad Chance, and Jaret Entertainment had a true banger of a soundtrack released on Hollywood records, also in 1999. This soundtrack has been heralded as one of the most iconic of the 90's and with tracks like Letters to Cleo's cover of Cheap Trick's "I Want You to Want Me" and Nick Lowe's "Cruel to be Kind" along with classics like George Clinton's "Atomic Dog" it isn't hard to figure out why. We discuss the film at length and Jon lays down a pretty fun fact about what song you NEED to sing in your career if you want to land a role as the next Batman Villian.
