This week, we're kicking off our SMG month by diving deep into the bisexual, backstabbing, beautifully chaotic world of Cruel Intentions (1999). From Sarah Michelle Gellar’s iconic coke-crucifix to Ryan Phillippe's “softboy sociopath” vibes, we break down the fashion, the soundtrack, and the deeply queer undertones of this messy teen classic.
Is Kathryn the ultimate 90s villain? Did this movie raise a whole generation of drama-obsessed queers? Why was everyone hot, evil, or both?
🎧 In this episode:
• Does Cruel Intentions still hold up in 2025
• That scene. Yes, that kiss scene.
• Soundtrack breakdown: Placebo, Counting Crows, and other 90s songs
• SMG playing evil, sexy and a little insane
💅 Whether you watched it too young or just discovered it last week, you’re in good (bad) company.
