Discussing all the 90's goodness that is the motion picture soundtrack for 1995's Clueless, written and directed by Amy Heckerling and starring favourites of ours; Alicia Silverstone, Stacey Dash, Brittney Murphy, Paul Rudd, Donald Faison and Brekken Myer. In this episode we chat how The Muffs have never, ever played "Kids in America" all the way through a second time, SNUG jeans, "maudlin sounds of college rock" with Radiohead, and just how dreamy young Paul Rudd is.

This pivotal soundtrack wasn't just a fun listen, it offers such a time capsule of North American youth of this era- from Cracker to Coolio, Beasties to Bosstones- this one is almost as groovy as Christian's attitude.
