    Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion: We Invented Post-its! | The VHS Club Ep. 141

    It’s time to grab your platform heels, put on something shiny, and prepare an extremely convincing story about inventing Post-its. This week on The VHS Club, Katie and Nat are heading back to 1997 to revisit Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion, starring Mira Sorvino and Lisa Kudrow. Romy and Michele may have survived high school, but when their 10-year reunion rolls around, suddenly their perfectly happy lives don’t seem quite impressive enough. The solution? Reinvent themselves as wildly successful businesswomen and hope nobody asks too many follow-up questions. We’re talking about: ✨ Why Romy and Michele’s friendship makes the movie work 📎 The greatest Post-it-related lie in cinematic history 👗 Those absolutely incredible costumes 💃 One of the strangest—and best—dance sequences of the ’90s 🏫 Why high school reunions are inherently terrifying 😂 The lines and moments that are still ridiculously funny 📼 And whether Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion deserves a permanent spot in the VHS collection Plus, we’ll dig into behind-the-scenes trivia, our favorite moments, and everything else that makes this movie such a gloriously weird ’90s time capsule. And Tater Tots: tell us in the comments, if you had to invent an elaborate fake career to impress everyone at your high school reunion, what would it be? 💌 Sign up for our email newsletter: https://www.thevhsclubpod.com/email 🎬 Learn more & connect with us: https://www.thevhsclubpod.com 📼 See the movie list (and add your own!): https://movielist.thevhsclubpod.com 🕹️ Play Freeze Frame, our movie-guessing game: https://game.thevhsclubpod.com
