010 Legally Blonde (2001)
from Retro Grade Podcast Hosted by Austin Bates
“I DON’T NEED BACKUPS. I’M GOING TO HARVARD.“ This week we change it up and talk about a different kind of movie. A certain legal comedy that came out in 2001 called Legally Blonde! (Anyone who says it’s a rom-com is wrong, sorry, we don’t make the rules.) Austin’s girlfriend, Leanna, makes her podcast debut and talks about what this movie meant to her as a child. Austin and Jorge also reminisce on their childhood and how boys tend to hate things meant for women without even giving them a chance. We learn new words like, “femmephobia“ and terms like “respectability politics,” the hurdles that Reese Witherspoon went through to be respected in Hollywood, talk about whether or not Legally Blonde is a feminist film, and the problem with Enid. Also, stay tuned for our deep dive on Enrique and Chuck’s relationship. Enjoy! Music is from Triune Digital and audio clips pulled from movies we will be reviewing in other episodes.
