    Clueless and 10 Things I Hate About You - The enduring popularity of monumental 90s teen comedies

    In the second episode of Beyond the Algorithm, we explore why Clueless and 10 Things I Hate About You have outlived other films of a similar genre and era, even as they remain outside modern social media algorithms. We discuss what makes these films resonate today, diving into their relatable characters, earnest storylines and undeniable humour that shine, recognising that while parts of these films are viral, few people of our generation have seen them in full. Even nearly 30 years later, these films have memorable messages that are still impactful today. Credits: Host: Caia WangGuest: Rui Xi LohGuest: Sonya YanMusic: Caia WangEditing: Caia Wang
