About this episode
One time in the 1990s a scary litigator melted the hearts of millions of kids by reminding his daughter that "you divorce wives, not kids." We discuss Mel Horowitz — the loveliest shouty dad in popular cinema — Cher, Josh, Tai, Murray, Travis and the rest of the Clueless gang with our pal Kristofer Thomas. You can Kristofer on Twitter and on TikTok ! We made a playlist to accompany this episode ! It's comprised of songs that come to mind when we all think about this movie. Why Are Dads is a show in which hosts Sarah Marshall and Alex Steed attempt to understand what the hell it means to be the grown children of dads and other dad-like figures. And, as they do with all difficult subject matter, they do so by looking through a pop culture lens. You can find us on Twitter , Instagram and Patreon .
