Hi Kendyl!
Thanks for liking my post on Carrie! I have to say that Clueless is one of my favorite movies of all time. It’s so clever and funny. I look forward to listening to your podcasts!

No problem! I really hope that you enjoy the podcasts!
If you like Clueless, you should really check out Emma Approved (www.youtube.com/user/EmmaApproved) if you haven’t yet. It’s a little less 90s (which is a shame really) but it’s an older modernization of Emma, when she’s a young professional instead of a high school student.
