Like, he obviously has actually aged, but how do you not recognize Paul Rudd? His face, his voice, his mannerisms, his inflections. That's so Paul Rudd.
I just started the reaction, and just got to the first scene with Josh and I'm waiting for recognition... it somehow makes it even better that, somehow, against all odds, Ash didn't notice that was him.
Not knowing Dionne was named after Dionne Warwick had me 😂 Also, this movie is an adaptation of Jane Austen's 1815 novel "Emma" (about a rich, beautiful girl who likes matchmaking and generally meddling with people's lives thinking she's helping/knows better but is later humbled and learns to be more sensitive, respectful and insightful).
“10 Things I Hate About You” is another great back to school movie with Julia Stiles, Heath Ledger, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. I’m excited for “School of Rock”!
I would also love seeing reactions to "Just Married" with Brittany Murphy and "Ghosts Of Girlfriends Past" with Breckin Meyer. Hardly ever seen any reactions to those movies.
The key to really understanding this movie is knowing that it's a modern adaptation of Emma by Jane Austen. And the irony of Emma was that as well as she could perceive others she was blind where her own heart was concerned. She didn't realize how she felt til her pet project started pursuing her man, just like Cher with Tai and Josh. Basically it's cliff notes Emma updated for the 90s. And frankly I think it succeeded very well.
@moviesthatsitNew to her channel? Numerous examples go directly against your simplistic insult, but I guess if you're determined to be an ass, they're no reason to let facts stand in the way.
@moviesthatsit to be fair this movie is so deeply routed in the early 90’s that if you didn’t actually live threw it then it’s a lot that won’t connect with you. So many cultural references and you had to be there moments. This movie just oozes with nostalgia for most of us.
I never hear any shoutouts to Chers dad. “You divorce wives not children”. He was married for several years to a woman with a teenage son and stayed looking out for him after he graduated college. Good dude. Edit: I see corrections they were only married months, making Josh a college student and adult, adding to Mel’s credit. 👍
This is how my dad was. My older half-sister’s older siblings on her mom’s side were always around - they were very much part of our family. Once you were under the wing, you stayed under the wing.
Isn't the line "you were hardly married to her and that was 5 years ago?" That always made me think it was a quickie marriage, but Josh took on to him and vice versa based on him trying to avoid going home to his mother on school break.
It's honestly a really good modernization of Emma by Jane Austen. Elton keeping the photo of Tai makes more sense in the book, as the portrait is painted by Emma, rather than a photograph. Dionne is named after Dionne Warwick, who was doing the psychic friends network when the movie came out. This movie honestly holds up pretty well.
Thank you! I knew this was a modernization of something famous but I couldn’t remember what. I was thinking Shakespeare, probably because of “10 Things I Hate About You”, which is a modern take on “The Taming of the Shrew “. And Ashleigh, on the off chance that you’re reading this, Dionne Warwick was a very popular singer, especially in the sixties and seventies. She’s also done some acting.
@@terri2494And she's Whitney Houston's aunt, if it helps. Houston's mother, Thelma Houston, is Dionne Warwick's sister and was also a singer with a couple hits
@@marvymarv959 Mr. Horowitz does end that scene saying, "Honey, I couldn't be happier than if they were based on real grades." It may seem like he is saying "real grades" do not matter, yet I'm satisfied he at least highlights the new grade is not "real."
Part of why we had pagers and cell phones was the price. Cell phone plans were expensive & only came with a limited number of talk time 'minutes'. Late 90s plans with only 30-60 minutes a month were common. We'd tell our friends to page us, then we'd decide when/where to call back from. If a landline was available at home, work, friend's house, we'd use that to save our minutes
I worked for a cellphone provider back in the mid 90's and yeah, pricing was pretty nuts, and becuz we charged in "minutes" people thought they were getting a lot more than they were. I don't recall every plan, but it was something like $35/mo for 60 minutes, $45 for 100, $149 for 500 and $250 for 1000. And that was just airtime. Long distance companies charged 20-30 cents a minute on top of that if you called outside the calling area. And roaming? Hoo boy..... you really did NOT want to use that thing outside your home area. Explaining to folks that inbound calls used airtime was a PITA too "it's not like that on my home phone" -- you're right, it's not. But this isn't your home phone....
@@livebackwards Yeah, maybe 2 hours of idle time, 20-30 minutes of talk. People'd call in wondering why they weren't getting calls on their phones. 1st question was always "Is the phone turned on?" and generally was met with an incredulous "No! Why would I have it on? that'll run down my battery!"
The fact that Paul Rudd (Avengers, Antman, Ghostbusters) totally flew over your head kills me. Also Marky Mark = Mark Wahlberg. You crack me up. I love this channel. 🤣🤣🤣
I was a teen in the 90s and this movie literally started fashion trends! Cher's outfits were every thing and I love seeing new younger people get the chance to experience the 90s. The plaid and shiny tops! It was a time for sure! Marky mark!? Come on girl, really!? Lol!
Only rich kids had cell phones back in the day, and so it was actually a funny joke to have Cher and Dee to talk on the phone to each other while they were walking up to each other. Back then that was ...excessive. LOL The fact that they had cell phones at all was funny.
This is one of those movies that’s way better than it should have been; it’s so charming and cute that it’s transcends the types of movie that it was supposed to be. Other movies like this are Legally Blonde and Blast from the Past (and that one is one of my favorite movies.) I loved your reaction as I always do. Ashleigh you are legit one of my favorite people.
He got me interested in music. I joined my middle school band class, but the teacher wasn't willing to obtain sheets for a soprano and made me the only baritone. I hated it. Did my 6 month class and never touched music ever again. Teachers have such an impact, it's absurd.
@@DreamingVoid Soprano saxophone isn’t scored for band, so I’m sorry to tell you, your teacher was right. You didn’t specify baritone horn or baritone saxophone. Both awesome instruments. It’s a shame you gave up. 😢
@DreamingVoid @tinathomure BOOOOO! I CALL BS. Teacher didn't know how to transpose? In my classes we made it work for all kinds of unconventional instruments because keeping the kids in music is important.
As a Gen Z who is super into pop culture, i cannot BELIEVE she doesnt know who Marky Mark is. Imagine her reaction when she finds out it's Mark Wahlberg
@@awkwardashleigh Both above comments are true. "Marky" Mark Wahlberg was a solo artist (kinda rap, but not really?) while his brother is Donnie Wahlberg from the New Kids on the Block. Obviously, Mark's acting career got bigger, but Donnie also has some good roles, including the patient who broke in and shot Bruce Willis at the beginning of "The Sixth Sense."
Technically they are not even step-siblings anymore because their parents are divorced and he is hardly around her (maybe shows up once a year). Also, it has been years since they were divorced. Think of him as more of a friends son who visits once a year.
A cursory glance at the spreadsheet suggests you have not seen Alicia Silverstone in anything else, but in your stockpile is Blast From The Past, which I think you would enjoy. It's got Brendan Fraser, Sissy Spacek, and Christopher Walken.
My understanding is not only are they no longer step-siblings but they weren’t even step-siblings very long. They didn’t grow up a sibling. He was more of a family friend relationship. 🤷🏼♀️ At least that was my interpretation.
Fun fact about this movie much like the movie Bridget Jones’s diary, clueless is a modern adaptation of the works of Jane Austen, while Bridget Jones is based on pride and prejudice, clueless is based on her novel Emma
I feel that Ashleigh learned A LOT about A LOT with random references and pop culture. This movie is a MUST. "What's wrong with Kenny G? He's a fine clarinetist" HAHAHA! ;)
How fun was this reaction! Paul Rudd was very young in this one, and he does age, ever so slightly. And he gets better looking. Another fun Amy Heckerling movie with Paul Rudd is I Could Never Be Your Woman. And another fun Alicia Silverstone movie to check out is Blast From The Past!
Mrs Ashleigh.... At the beginning of the video first thing I said to my mom cuz I was with her when you posted the video.....I was like OMG wait till shes she who's in this movie(Paul Rudd) only for you to UTTERLY AND COMPLETELY miss him Like WAAAAAT?? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Amy Heckerling thought if she used real slang that the dialog would sound dated even upon the release of the movie. So she made up her own terms and is credited for inventing a suite of new slang terms used in the mid 90s.
@Gargess It also applies to the fashion. Honestly the movie looks about 2 years ahead of its time and that’s because of how influential it was, but took a little bit for everyone to catch up. Because in my memories 1995 was actually still very much like the early-‘90s. Whereas Clueless looks more late-‘90s.
@@GargessCostume designer Mona May said that when she and writer-director Amy Heckerling went to high schools to be up-to-date on then-current student trends, but students “were wearing a mix of bad patterns, leftover ‘80s fashions, and grunge.” So they got creative.
There were touchscreen computers in the early 80s. Used a very different technology, it wasn’t the actual glass that made the difference, but sensors are detected where you were actually touching the screen, and that interrupted those sensors, but just a point out they did exist, however, the graphics were even lower grade than what was shown here
"A friend of dorothy" was code for gay back in the day (example: "excuse me, are you a friend of Dorothy?" and they would know what you are asking). Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz played by Judy Garland who was associated with a lot of gay men, not to mention the movie involved being somewhere boring and Black & White and Dorothy escapes to somewhere more fabulous and full of color. Judy was close to many gay men back when gay was worse than bad.. her daughter Liza Minelli had the same vibe as a gay magnet.
Also many in queer circles for decades saw themselves in the misfit found family of Scarecrow, Tinman and the Cowardly Lion while seeing the 3 primary female characters as magnetic and iconic.
Yes! In fact- the US military became so concerned that Dorothy was a code name for an actual woman who was a liaison for gay men in the military, that they spent an unreasonable amount of time and money looking for "Dorothy", lol.
Back in the day, we had pagers and cell phones because cell phone reception was really bad. Pagers had better connections so it was easier to get paged and then call when you are at a location where the cell service was better.
@@chrissmalley83 we were lucky to have our phones last two hours lol. Also cellphones plans only allowed you to talk for 60 minutes during the day and then more at night after 8 lol.
@@busimagen -- There's actually a disorder when people don't recognize familiar faces if they look slightly different than what you're used to. Maybe you have that.
The gym coach is Julie Brown. She wrote and starred (and wrote songs and sang) in another one of my favorites Earth Girls Are Easy. Her bestie is Geena Davis. They meet up with 3 aliens whose spaceship crashes in their pool played by Jeff Goldblum, Jim Carrey, and Damon Wayans. It's a candy colored 80's Valley Girl blast. With makeovers. 😊 For HallowBeans i wish you'd check out The Frighteners and Night of The Comet. They are fun, not so scary stuff. Thanks Ashleigh ❤
That's a good one - and don't forget SHAKES THE CLOWN (1991), either you love it or hate it. Tamilee Webb's BUNS OF STEEL workouts should be on Ash's list, too. and ABS OF STEEL (now on DVD).
I think I've heard of this movie you're describing. I think I saw it once on tv and had a great time but I forgot the title. So, thanks for mentioning it. Will certainly check it out again ad soon as I get the chance.
Most of us 90's teens didn't have pagers or cellphones until our early 20s. But to answer your question about having both, we didn't have unlimited minute plans. People were charged by the minute, so the pager was to get notified to make an important call worth getting charged for . 😂
“He's a disco-dancing, Oscar Wilde-reading, Streisand ticket-holding friend of Dorothy!" Disco Dancing - Everyone in the 90s thought only gay men listened to disco, and it was a subtle jab at John Travolta, who was widely rumored to be gay at the time. Oscar Wilde - An Irish poet from the 1800s who argued that art should be created for arts sake. He was imprisoned for being Gay. Barbra Strisand - Huge gay advocate and in the 90s straight men did not admit to liking her music. Friend of Dorothy - This one has multiple possible origins. Dorothy Parker was a poet and screenplay writer. She fell in love with several men who were later revealed to be gay and she became an advocate for civil rights, gay rights, and union rights. Another possibility is Dorothy Gail from Wizard of Oz played by Judy Garland who is a gay icon, and the whole "over the rainbow" thing. Either way, "Friend of Dorothy" became code for gay men to identify each other like "Friend of Bill" is for AA members.
"As IF" Monday, Ashleigh First, 'Cher' is played by Alicia Silverstone. Second, Dionne (played by Stacey Dash) is a reference to Dionne Warwick. Third, yes that is Donald Faison from "Scrubs", "Remember the Titans", "Waiting to Exhale", "Little Evil", "Can't Hardly Wait", and "Kiss-Ass 2", Fourth, Wallace Shawn did play Vizzini on "The Princess Bride". he was also the voice of 'Rex' Dinosaur toy In "Toy Story" franchise. The "Rolling Stones / Nine Inch Nails" reference is about learning to accept difference across different generations. A "Betty" was urban slang for a very beautiful girl / woman, a 'Hottie', a 'Babe', a 'Fox', a 'Top 10', 'Supermodel', etc. Current millennial equivalent might be: 'Fierce', 'On Fleek', or 'MILF'. "Marky Mark' was the teen boy band nickname of Mark Wahlberg for the boy group "Maky Mark and the Funky Bunch". 'Tai Frazier' was the late, greatly talented, and beautiful Brittany Murphy. Gone to Soon, RIP!! Pagers and Phones: first, these are rich kids. Second, phones did not have text messages abilities. So, while you may not answer the phone (it might be off or you were on another call), a pager would let you know about other people who called you or wanted you to call them, "7 X 7" is "49 NOT 41.))) In this case, Sun Valley from where Josh is at UCLA is about a 35-minute drive or about 40-45 miles. 'Christian' (Justin Walker) was going for the James Dean look. "Ready for your oral" was a reference to 'oral presentation' on a particular assigned topic. This was common in 'debate class'. Technically, Cher's little speech about attracting boys was correct, to a certain extent. 'rationed' was a slang term for being on curfew or having a busy schedule because you were 'rationing' your free time. Josh ("This guy looks very familiar) is Paul Rudd from MCU 'Ant Man', "Sexiest Man Alive" 2021, "Anchorman 1 & 2", the recent "Ghostbusters" movie franchise, and more recently, "Murders in the Building". 'Christian's cute car" is a 1954 Nash Metropolitan. A car James Dean was known (believed) to have owned. Unless I am mistaken, that was the 90's band "Smashmouth" as the 'stage band' at the party Cher and Christian attend. "Why did your skin turned soo red?" It is supposed to be an 'anxiety (stress) flush"; a visual representation of "getting flustered". "friend of Dorothy' is a reference to Judy Garland, which most many "gays" would dress or drag like. Also, Liza Minelli (Judy's daughter0, Cher, Barbara Streisand, and Tina Turner. "Melrose" is a quaint and ritzy district of Los Angeles. known for shopping, dining, entertainment, and possibility of seeing famous celebrities. Reference "Melrose Place" and "Entourage". No, you haven't seen anything with Alicia S in all the years I have followed your channel, unless I missed a movie or 2.))) Congrats on watching another Iconic (0s film). Hopefully, this helps you understand some of the memes, and other references from this movie to other films and tv shows. This film is loosely based on "Emma" by jane Austin. See'ya on Wednesday!!
@@BlackavarWD Sorry you are wrong about the "Betty Rubble" reference. Many mis represent the term. "Betty" (at least in Clueless) is a reference to Betty Grable. She was one of the original pin-up girls of the 30s. 40s. and 50s. The other 2 "Betty"s that came before Mrs. Rubble were Page and Boop. So the term "Betty" existed before 'Betty Rubble'.
OK all about pagers, from a Gen Xer: 1) they were cheaper (monthly), and that meant a lot for working people and kids; 2) they used hardly any battery, you could go like a month on a plain AA battery; 3) range -- their signal could be picked up in vastly more places than the shoddy analog 1st gen cell phones; 4) they were still sociably acceptable in places where having a phone out were not. you have to realize it was not the norm to be talking on a thing in public, yet. at least a pager was a one way communication -- people could notify you, and you didn't have to worry about making noise of taking the call or anything. you could respond when and where you want, if you wanted. So obviously cell phones eventually took over but there was a definite transition period where some friends would have a pager, some would have a cell phone, some would have nothing. That was how it was when I was in college.
Pagers were the precursor to Texting. Texting is faster, doesn't require a strong signal, and is cheaper. (My phone plan includes unlimited texts. That's standard now, is it not?) So... We could explain pagers to young people by saying "People had pagers for the same reasons that you use texting."
Yeah, I think it was the third marriage for both of them & they were only married for like 6 months, plus he wasn’t really around, so I’ve never had an issue with it. Now, had her dad gotten married when Cher was 5 & she had grown up in the same house as Josh, I’d feel a lot more ‘icky’ about it, lol.
I thought she said they both had famous singer names, who went by one name. So I always thought, they were referring to Dion, the male singer from 50s/60s era. 🤷🏻♀️
@@-gohu- Celine Dion wouldn't make sense, though, since Cher and Dionne were about 16 in the film, meaning they would have been born about 1979 and Celine came out after that. Also, Celine wouldn't have been in the past back then. The 90's was her era.
I could be wrong (so please don't come at me lol) but I do think this is the first instance of a modern sugary adaptation of an older piece of literature(?). In this case, Jane Austen's Emma. If anything it at least released the floodgate for other such modern retellings. And a great one at that. Loved this watchalong with you, Ashleigh 😂
Omg Clueless, Scream and Baz Luhman's Romeo and Juliet complete sums up my 90's teen self go to films if I want to go to Blockbuster for a binge worthy watch American flick with friends!! ❤ Just add a few early episodes of South Park, a N64, diet coke and appropriate snacks like ice cream or popcorn!! Maybe order pizza if we're really peckish!
Alicia was19 when Clueless(1995) came out so we can say she was 18 when it was filmed. Paul Rudd was 26 when it came out so, 25 when filming. Oh! When Brittany Murphy's character Tai called Cher "A virgin who can't drive" Brittany was a virgin who couldn't drive.
back in the day before texting was a thing on phones , phone calls were eye wateringly expensive so it was cheaper if say you just wanted to say " ill be home in 10 " you would send a page or " beep them " , if say you had no credit on your phone and you were out you could page someone to call you back , basically the phone was more if someone wanted to talk to you about something bigger than a page or for absolute emergencies , beepers were cool i miss them
Alicia Silverstone achieved a certain level of fame for being in Aerosmith music videos. Worth noting due to Steven Tyler’s voice issues Aerosmith has officially ended as a group just this summer.
Marky Mark was Mark Wahlberg before he made a living as an Actor. Rap was HUGE in the 90s (in the USA at least) and nearly everyone tried themself in that genre. And Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch were among those. Heck, Marky Mark even had a Game for the Sega Mega CD as part of the "Make My Video" series, which was a series of Full Motion Video games which were more like Interactive movies. And in this title you had to put together Musicvideos for 3 Marky Mark songs. Either doing it the way you wanted or going after suggestions from some weird offbeat characters in the game who told you what they wanted to see in the video.
hell im sorry but it seems that if you don't get all yr info and funfacts straight off the net youd immediately say marky mark was in new kids on the block 😂

I pretty much had this movie memorized in high school (and I was still able to quote most of the clips in this reaction) and somehow I still only just realized that Travis' last name was Birkenstock? 🤣 Someone's been waiting almost 30 years for me to get that joke!
Similar story here, just with a different movie called "Suburban Commando". 😅 You know, we were all big into Hulk Hogan when we were kids and I got this movie when I was like 8 or 9 years old. And I remember, I watched it almost EVERY DAY for about a year or so ... 😅 I just watched the German dub, which I would totally still defend and recommend, it's actually a pretty awesome movie. But yeah, as time went on, I almost never re-watched that movie for about 20 years up until a few years ago when I decided to watch it again with my mom. And I was SHOCKED by my memory. I could literally remember about 99.8% of all the dialogue, with inflictions and timing and everything, it was scary. I just didn't speak it all out loud, just a few times, I didn't wanna annoy my mother all too much. I'm just impressed by how the human mind is capable of recreating something it hasn't thought of for almost twenty years as if no time had virtually passed... But about Travis: I knew his last name but thought it was spelled differently. Like, with an "e" or a "u" ("Be-" or "Bu-"). "Birkenstocks" are shoes. 😅
Melrose Avenue is a street in Los Angeles, and there's a certain part of it, that I guess would be considered West Hollywood ish, where there's a strip of stores, that I guess is a popular shopping spot? Something like that. Also, unrelated to the reference in this movie, at the same time as this movie, there was also a TV show called "Melrose Place", that was like a primetime drama/soap opera ish thing about a bunch of 20 somethings that lived in a little apartment complex together.
Melrose Avenue. It still exists, still has loads of shops. In the early '80s it was more of a counterculture hangout - punk rock, new wave, goth and second hand shops, funky places to get Doc Martens before normies wore them, Manic Panic and record shops. By the '90s, pricey independent boutiques popped up, and the further west you go, there are high end designer boutiques. That is the main shopping destination. Melrose Place is also a real street, a small 2-3 block area that runs parallel to Santa Monica Blvd. It does have shops but back then it wasn't the main drag to go shopping. When Angelenos say Melrose, they usually mean Melrose Ave.
She has mentioned that she grew up with strict parents who restricted her a lot, so she knows less about the world than most people her age. Also bear in mind that she didn't become a teen until the late 2000s.

It's honestly a really good modernization of Emma by Jane Austen. Elton keeping the photo of Tai makes more sense in the book, as the portrait is painted by Emma, rather than a photograph.

Part of why we had pagers and cell phones was the price. Cell phone plans were expensive & only came with a limited number of talk time 'minutes'. Late 90s plans with only 30-60 minutes a month were common.
We'd tell our friends to page us, then we'd decide when/where to call back from. If a landline was available at home, work, friend's house, we'd use that to save our minutes
This! And there was no text messaging.
"AT&T has free Nights and Weekends!" Or, how about all the calling cards you could buy at the gas station, or the 10-10 plus the phone number codes?
I worked for a cellphone provider back in the mid 90's and yeah, pricing was pretty nuts, and becuz we charged in "minutes" people thought they were getting a lot more than they were.
I don't recall every plan, but it was something like $35/mo for 60 minutes, $45 for 100, $149 for 500 and $250 for 1000. And that was just airtime. Long distance companies charged 20-30 cents a minute on top of that if you called outside the calling area. And roaming? Hoo boy..... you really did NOT want to use that thing outside your home area.
Explaining to folks that inbound calls used airtime was a PITA too "it's not like that on my home phone" -- you're right, it's not. But this isn't your home phone....
Also cell phone batteries at the time were incredibly short-lived, some charges lasting as little as 30 minutes of talk time.
@@livebackwards Yeah, maybe 2 hours of idle time, 20-30 minutes of talk. People'd call in wondering why they weren't getting calls on their phones. 1st question was always "Is the phone turned on?" and generally was met with an incredulous "No! Why would I have it on? that'll run down my battery!"
The fact that Paul Rudd (Avengers, Antman, Ghostbusters) totally flew over your head kills me. Also Marky Mark = Mark Wahlberg.
You crack me up. I love this channel. 🤣🤣🤣
I was a teen in the 90s and this movie literally started fashion trends! Cher's outfits were every thing and I love seeing new younger people get the chance to experience the 90s. The plaid and shiny tops! It was a time for sure! Marky mark!? Come on girl, really!? Lol!
Same. 90s teen and it still trips me out when the younger generations don't get the pop-culture references. Getting old, I guess. 😭
"This guy looks really familiar..."
Girl, that's Paul Rudd, Ant-Man and Ghostbusters. The man that does not age.
I'm STUNNED that ASHLEIGH can't tell WHO FAMOUS ACTORS ARE when they are YOUNGER!?? GEEZ!
Considering she is a fan, I can't believe she didn't recognize Paul Rudd because he hasn't aged.
I watched Only Murders in the Building and he is indeed aging..still looks great...but he aged LOL
@@strangebiped I seriously sometimes think Ashleigh has face-blindness! 😆
Paul Rudd is my age. He does not look my age.
Don't have me been spitting out my food, "Who was Paul Rudd, I love that man." Damn girl
Meanwhile “I need to find out who played the stepbrother.“
So funny!
Yes! Now please add Blast from the Past to a poll? Please?
YES - Baby Brendan Fraser and Alicia Silverstone, plus Walken and Spacek? Do it Ashleigh!
YES!!!
One of my all time favorites. I just smile the whole time I’m watching it
Yes yes yes!
YES YES YES
Only rich kids had cell phones back in the day, and so it was actually a funny joke to have Cher and Dee to talk on the phone to each other while they were walking up to each other. Back then that was ...excessive. LOL The fact that they had cell phones at all was funny.
This is one of those movies that’s way better than it should have been; it’s so charming and cute that it’s transcends the types of movie that it was supposed to be. Other movies like this are Legally Blonde and Blast from the Past (and that one is one of my favorite movies.) I loved your reaction as I always do. Ashleigh you are legit one of my favorite people.
You can say that Ashleigh was pretty Clueless watching Clueless. "Who was Paul Rudd?"
Kenny G is not a clarinetist. He's a saxophonist. The straight instrument he plays is a soprano sax.
He got me interested in music. I joined my middle school band class, but the teacher wasn't willing to obtain sheets for a soprano and made me the only baritone. I hated it. Did my 6 month class and never touched music ever again. Teachers have such an impact, it's absurd.
@@DreamingVoid Soprano saxophone isn’t scored for band, so I’m sorry to tell you, your teacher was right. You didn’t specify baritone horn or baritone saxophone. Both awesome instruments. It’s a shame you gave up. 😢
You said it first but they are so closely related instruments that I'm sure he could play both but is famous with the Sax.
@DreamingVoid
@tinathomure
BOOOOO! I CALL BS. Teacher didn't know how to transpose? In my classes we made it work for all kinds of unconventional instruments because keeping the kids in music is important.
Well, they were both woodwind instruments. At least she was somewhat close 😂
As a Gen Z who is super into pop culture, i cannot BELIEVE she doesnt know who Marky Mark is. Imagine her reaction when she finds out it's Mark Wahlberg
He’s the brother of Donnie Don.
wait.. what?
@@awkwardashleigh Both above comments are true. "Marky" Mark Wahlberg was a solo artist (kinda rap, but not really?) while his brother is Donnie Wahlberg from the New Kids on the Block. Obviously, Mark's acting career got bigger, but Donnie also has some good roles, including the patient who broke in and shot Bruce Willis at the beginning of "The Sixth Sense."
I didn't know who Marky Mark was when I watched this the first time. I was born in 92.
🤮
Technically they are not even step-siblings anymore because their parents are divorced and he is hardly around her (maybe shows up once a year). Also, it has been years since they were divorced. Think of him as more of a friends son who visits once a year.
The entire "when is she gonna figure out it's Paul Fucking Rudd?!" adventure took twists and turns I never expected 😂😂
A cursory glance at the spreadsheet suggests you have not seen Alicia Silverstone in anything else, but in your stockpile is Blast From The Past, which I think you would enjoy. It's got Brendan Fraser, Sissy Spacek, and Christopher Walken.
She's also really good in Excess Baggage, an underrated early Benicio Del Toro.
My understanding is not only are they no longer step-siblings but they weren’t even step-siblings very long. They didn’t grow up a sibling. He was more of a family friend relationship. 🤷🏼♀️ At least that was my interpretation.
Being underage is the real issue lol
@@sproductionsinc Yes. I agree. The real issue is her being under age and a large age gap for how young she is.
Ya'll must be fun at parties.
Large? Lol
@@sproductionsinc he's an underclassman in college, and she's at least 16. He could be 18, which is totally legal, as is 17 and 19.
Fun fact about this movie much like the movie Bridget Jones’s diary, clueless is a modern adaptation of the works of Jane Austen, while Bridget Jones is based on pride and prejudice, clueless is based on her novel Emma
But the protagonist in Emma doesn't choose her former stepbrother, so why is that in Clueless?
@@RobertTaylor-gz2fushe does choose her brother figure. His brother was married to her sister
I feel that Ashleigh learned A LOT about A LOT with random references and pop culture. This movie is a MUST. "What's wrong with Kenny G? He's a fine clarinetist" HAHAHA! ;)
How did you not recognize Paul Rudd? The guy hasn't aged since he was 18! 🤣
I still couldn't believe it was him in....Antman...30 feckin years later! He's ageless!
Why do people keep saying that? He definitely has aged and looks his age now.
Ashleigh "We love a good dumb blonde movie"
Also Ashleigh... "7×7 is um 41?"
Also, "who was Paul Rudd?"
That Nine Inch Nails comment hurt my soul.
Gen Xer?
Same.
Ditto
I think she knows who they are; just didn't get how they were relevant in the conversation
@@aadams1006 Yes 😁
Ex step brother people seem to always miss that
How fun was this reaction! Paul Rudd was very young in this one, and he does age, ever so slightly. And he gets better looking. Another fun Amy Heckerling movie with Paul Rudd is I Could Never Be Your Woman. And another fun Alicia Silverstone movie to check out is Blast From The Past!
"not the momma! not the momma!" that is a great baby Dinosaur impression. if you know you know😂
I know! Again! Again!
I'm the baby, gotta love me. 😂
If you were old enough to watch Clueless when it came out, you're old enough to remember Dinosaurs.
Dionne is named after r&b singer Dionne Warwick who also was the face of the psychic friends network hotline for awhile.
Mrs Ashleigh.... At the beginning of the video first thing I said to my mom cuz I was with her when you posted the video.....I was like OMG wait till shes she who's in this movie(Paul Rudd) only for you to UTTERLY AND COMPLETELY miss him
Like WAAAAAT??
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Fun Fact: this movie was based off Jane Austen's 1815 novel 'Emma'
Paul Rudd already had his sense of humor going 110% in this movie.
I like him in Overnight Delivery.
I was in middle school when this movie came out, definitely had a huge impact on how kids my age talked and acted
Amy Heckerling thought if she used real slang that the dialog would sound dated even upon the release of the movie. So she made up her own terms and is credited for inventing a suite of new slang terms used in the mid 90s.
@Gargess It also applies to the fashion. Honestly the movie looks about 2 years ahead of its time and that’s because of how influential it was, but took a little bit for everyone to catch up. Because in my memories 1995 was actually still very much like the early-‘90s. Whereas Clueless looks more late-‘90s.
@@albertjimeno5315 the costuming in this movie is partially credited to have shaken the hold that grunge had in fashion
@@GargessCostume designer Mona May said that when she and writer-director Amy Heckerling went to high schools to be up-to-date on then-current student trends, but students “were wearing a mix of bad patterns, leftover ‘80s fashions, and grunge.” So they got creative.
There were touchscreen computers in the early 80s. Used a very different technology, it wasn’t the actual glass that made the difference, but sensors are detected where you were actually touching the screen, and that interrupted those sensors, but just a point out they did exist, however, the graphics were even lower grade than what was shown here
"A friend of dorothy" was code for gay back in the day (example: "excuse me, are you a friend of Dorothy?" and they would know what you are asking). Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz played by Judy Garland who was associated with a lot of gay men, not to mention the movie involved being somewhere boring and Black & White and Dorothy escapes to somewhere more fabulous and full of color. Judy was close to many gay men back when gay was worse than bad.. her daughter Liza Minelli had the same vibe as a gay magnet.
OHHHH I see now!
Also many in queer circles for decades saw themselves in the misfit found family of Scarecrow, Tinman and the Cowardly Lion while seeing the 3 primary female characters as magnetic and iconic.
Yes! In fact- the US military became so concerned that Dorothy was a code name for an actual woman who was a liaison for gay men in the military, that they spent an unreasonable amount of time and money looking for "Dorothy", lol.
As a trans woman, I feel like I should be called a "friend of Blåhaj".
It started as code on cruise ships.

I don't know if you're making a joke by spelling her name wrong, too. But for the record, Billie Holiday.
Back in the day, we had pagers and cell phones because cell phone reception was really bad. Pagers had better connections so it was easier to get paged and then call when you are at a location where the cell service was better.
Cell phone batteries also sucked. You couldn't get a full day standby, so it made sense to keep the phone turned off until you got a page.
@@chrissmalley83 we were lucky to have our phones last two hours lol. Also cellphones plans only allowed you to talk for 60 minutes during the day and then more at night after 8 lol.

For HallowBeans i wish you'd check out The Frighteners and Night of The Comet. They are fun, not so scary stuff.
Thanks Ashleigh ❤
That's a good one - and don't forget SHAKES THE CLOWN (1991), either you love it or hate it. Tamilee Webb's BUNS OF STEEL workouts should be on Ash's list, too. and ABS OF STEEL (now on DVD).
I think I've heard of this movie you're describing. I think I saw it once on tv and had a great time but I forgot the title. So, thanks for mentioning it. Will certainly check it out again ad soon as I get the chance.
I LOVE that movie! "Cause Im a blonde neh neh neh!"
Most of us 90's teens didn't have pagers or cellphones until our early 20s. But to answer your question about having both, we didn't have unlimited minute plans. People were charged by the minute, so the pager was to get notified to make an important call worth getting charged for . 😂
Have you watched Blast from the Past? If not, you should!
HOW DID YOU NOT CLOCK PAUL RUDD????
"Who's Marky Mark?"
Anyone else think Ashleigh needs to react to the Good Vibrations video 😉

“He's a disco-dancing, Oscar Wilde-reading, Streisand ticket-holding friend of Dorothy!"
Disco Dancing - Everyone in the 90s thought only gay men listened to disco, and it was a subtle jab at John Travolta, who was widely rumored to be gay at the time.
Oscar Wilde - An Irish poet from the 1800s who argued that art should be created for arts sake. He was imprisoned for being Gay.
Barbra Strisand - Huge gay advocate and in the 90s straight men did not admit to liking her music.
Friend of Dorothy - This one has multiple possible origins. Dorothy Parker was a poet and screenplay writer. She fell in love with several men who were later revealed to be gay and she became an advocate for civil rights, gay rights, and union rights. Another possibility is Dorothy Gail from Wizard of Oz played by Judy Garland who is a gay icon, and the whole "over the rainbow" thing. Either way, "Friend of Dorothy" became code for gay men to identify each other like "Friend of Bill" is for AA members.
Take about clueless 😂🤣 Girl!! Ant-Man has not aged a day in his life!!! How did you not know that was him?!?
Maybe that's the problem. Since he looks 35 she was looking for a 5 year-old.
Paul Rudd...

"As IF" Monday, Ashleigh
First, 'Cher' is played by Alicia Silverstone. Second, Dionne (played by Stacey Dash) is a reference to Dionne Warwick. Third, yes that is Donald Faison from "Scrubs", "Remember the Titans", "Waiting to Exhale", "Little Evil", "Can't Hardly Wait", and "Kiss-Ass 2", Fourth, Wallace Shawn did play Vizzini on "The Princess Bride". he was also the voice of 'Rex' Dinosaur toy In "Toy Story" franchise.
The "Rolling Stones / Nine Inch Nails" reference is about learning to accept difference across different generations.
A "Betty" was urban slang for a very beautiful girl / woman, a 'Hottie', a 'Babe', a 'Fox', a 'Top 10', 'Supermodel', etc. Current millennial equivalent might be: 'Fierce', 'On Fleek', or 'MILF'.
"Marky Mark' was the teen boy band nickname of Mark Wahlberg for the boy group "Maky Mark and the Funky Bunch".
'Tai Frazier' was the late, greatly talented, and beautiful Brittany Murphy. Gone to Soon, RIP!!
Pagers and Phones: first, these are rich kids. Second, phones did not have text messages abilities. So, while you may not answer the phone (it might be off or you were on another call), a pager would let you know about other people who called you or wanted you to call them,
"7 X 7" is "49 NOT 41.)))
In this case, Sun Valley from where Josh is at UCLA is about a 35-minute drive or about 40-45 miles.
'Christian' (Justin Walker) was going for the James Dean look. "Ready for your oral" was a reference to 'oral presentation' on a particular assigned topic. This was common in 'debate class'.
Technically, Cher's little speech about attracting boys was correct, to a certain extent.
'rationed' was a slang term for being on curfew or having a busy schedule because you were 'rationing' your free time.
Josh ("This guy looks very familiar) is Paul Rudd from MCU 'Ant Man', "Sexiest Man Alive" 2021, "Anchorman 1 & 2", the recent "Ghostbusters" movie franchise, and more recently, "Murders in the Building".
'Christian's cute car" is a 1954 Nash Metropolitan. A car James Dean was known (believed) to have owned.
Unless I am mistaken, that was the 90's band "Smashmouth" as the 'stage band' at the party Cher and Christian attend.
"Why did your skin turned soo red?" It is supposed to be an 'anxiety (stress) flush"; a visual representation of "getting flustered".
"friend of Dorothy' is a reference to Judy Garland, which most many "gays" would dress or drag like. Also, Liza Minelli (Judy's daughter0, Cher, Barbara Streisand, and Tina Turner.
"Melrose" is a quaint and ritzy district of Los Angeles. known for shopping, dining, entertainment, and possibility of seeing famous celebrities. Reference "Melrose Place" and "Entourage".
No, you haven't seen anything with Alicia S in all the years I have followed your channel, unless I missed a movie or 2.)))
Congrats on watching another Iconic (0s film). Hopefully, this helps you understand some of the memes, and other references from this movie to other films and tv shows. This film is loosely based on "Emma" by jane Austin. See'ya on Wednesday!!
KissAss 2? I Love that movie!!
Just one little thing. I don't think Ashleigh knows that Nine Inch Nails is a band.
One correction the band was The Mighty Mighty Bosstones.
@@BlackavarWD Sorry you are wrong about the "Betty Rubble" reference. Many mis represent the term. "Betty" (at least in Clueless) is a reference to Betty Grable. She was one of the original pin-up girls of the 30s. 40s. and 50s. The other 2 "Betty"s that came before Mrs. Rubble were Page and Boop.
So the term "Betty" existed before 'Betty Rubble'.
One of my favorite movies. Such a great adaptation of Emma. And hilarious!
OK all about pagers, from a Gen Xer: 1) they were cheaper (monthly), and that meant a lot for working people and kids; 2) they used hardly any battery, you could go like a month on a plain AA battery; 3) range -- their signal could be picked up in vastly more places than the shoddy analog 1st gen cell phones; 4) they were still sociably acceptable in places where having a phone out were not. you have to realize it was not the norm to be talking on a thing in public, yet. at least a pager was a one way communication -- people could notify you, and you didn't have to worry about making noise of taking the call or anything. you could respond when and where you want, if you wanted.
So obviously cell phones eventually took over but there was a definite transition period where some friends would have a pager, some would have a cell phone, some would have nothing. That was how it was when I was in college.
Pagers were the precursor to Texting.
Texting is faster, doesn't require a strong signal, and is cheaper. (My phone plan includes unlimited texts. That's standard now, is it not?)
So... We could explain pagers to young people by saying "People had pagers for the same reasons that you use texting."
I mean it’s her Step brother through marriage. They didn’t grow up together and they aren’t related. So it’s not as weird as it sounds.
you're right....
Yeah, I think it was the third marriage for both of them & they were only married for like 6 months, plus he wasn’t really around, so I’ve never had an issue with it.
Now, had her dad gotten married when Cher was 5 & she had grown up in the same house as Josh, I’d feel a lot more ‘icky’ about it, lol.
@@goldenageofdinosaurs7192 "Husband number FOUR is at home" so 4th marriage for her.
In Emma, he was her brother in law, which is maybe a little less icky?

It may have already been said, but Clueless is an adaption of the Jane Austen novel, “Emma”.
I could be wrong (so please don't come at me lol) but I do think this is the first instance of a modern sugary adaptation of an older piece of literature(?). In this case, Jane Austen's Emma. If anything it at least released the floodgate for other such modern retellings. And a great one at that.

back in the day before texting was a thing on phones , phone calls were eye wateringly expensive so it was cheaper if say you just wanted to say " ill be home in 10 " you would send a page or " beep them " , if say you had no credit on your phone and you were out you could page someone to call you back , basically the phone was more if someone wanted to talk to you about something bigger than a page or for absolute emergencies , beepers were cool i miss them
Alicia Silverstone achieved a certain level of fame for being in Aerosmith music videos. Worth noting due to Steven Tyler’s voice issues Aerosmith has officially ended as a group just this summer.
Ashleigh should watch the Iggy Azalea video " Fancy" and the Lip Sync Battle video with Alicia Silverstone. I think she would pleasantly suprised.
Marky Mark was Mark Wahlberg before he made a living as an Actor. Rap was HUGE in the 90s (in the USA at least) and nearly everyone tried themself in that genre. And Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch were among those. Heck, Marky Mark even had a Game for the Sega Mega CD as part of the "Make My Video" series, which was a series of Full Motion Video games which were more like Interactive movies. And in this title you had to put together Musicvideos for 3 Marky Mark songs. Either doing it the way you wanted or going after suggestions from some weird offbeat characters in the game who told you what they wanted to see in the video.

I pretty much had this movie memorized in high school (and I was still able to quote most of the clips in this reaction) and somehow I still only just realized that Travis' last name was Birkenstock? 🤣 Someone's been waiting almost 30 years for me to get that joke!
Similar story here, just with a different movie called "Suburban Commando". 😅
You know, we were all big into Hulk Hogan when we were kids and I got this movie when I was like 8 or 9 years old. And I remember, I watched it almost EVERY DAY for about a year or so ... 😅 I just watched the German dub, which I would totally still defend and recommend, it's actually a pretty awesome movie. But yeah, as time went on, I almost never re-watched that movie for about 20 years up until a few years ago when I decided to watch it again with my mom.
And I was SHOCKED by my memory. I could literally remember about 99.8% of all the dialogue, with inflictions and timing and everything, it was scary. I just didn't speak it all out loud, just a few times, I didn't wanna annoy my mother all too much. I'm just impressed by how the human mind is capable of recreating something it hasn't thought of for almost twenty years as if no time had virtually passed...
But about Travis: I knew his last name but thought it was spelled differently. Like, with an "e" or a "u" ("Be-" or "Bu-"). "Birkenstocks" are shoes. 😅
Melrose Avenue is a street in Los Angeles, and there's a certain part of it, that I guess would be considered West Hollywood ish, where there's a strip of stores, that I guess is a popular shopping spot? Something like that. Also, unrelated to the reference in this movie, at the same time as this movie, there was also a TV show called "Melrose Place", that was like a primetime drama/soap opera ish thing about a bunch of 20 somethings that lived in a little apartment complex together.
THE trendy shopping area during that time period.
Ex Step Brother Paul Rudd 😂 I’m ok with it 😂
This is the most 90s film ever! Such a classic..
Melrose Place was a very expensive street in West Hollywood where all the trendy shops were.
And also the title of a teen soap, like "Beverly Hills 9210"
Melrose Avenue. It still exists, still has loads of shops. In the early '80s it was more of a counterculture hangout - punk rock, new wave, goth and second hand shops, funky places to get Doc Martens before normies wore them, Manic Panic and record shops. By the '90s, pricey independent boutiques popped up, and the further west you go, there are high end designer boutiques. That is the main shopping destination.
Melrose Place is also a real street, a small 2-3 block area that runs parallel to Santa Monica Blvd. It does have shops but back then it wasn't the main drag to go shopping. When Angelenos say Melrose, they usually mean Melrose Ave.
@@Diamond_Skies The real Melrose Place was where a bunch of fat, tourist re†ards used to stand out in front of that restaurant taking pictures.
The things Ashleigh doesn't know and never heard of. It's like she was born yesterday.
She has mentioned that she grew up with strict parents who restricted her a lot, so she knows less about the world than most people her age. Also bear in mind that she didn't become a teen until the late 2000s.

She didn't say she didn't know the band. She said she didn't get how it related to the comment he made.
I think she knows who they are; just didn't get how they were relevant in the conversation

This was such a trip for me. This was so popular while I was in high school. It seems like yesterday to me, but now I’m just old. LOL! This is a great movie. Great reaction.
