Why Does Can't Hardly Wait (1998) Still Resonate with Jenn from My Streaming Bubble 25+ years later?

Jenn Owens, host of the podcast, My Streaming Bubble, is our guest this week to talk about the soundtrack to the Henry Elfont and Deborah Kaplan 1998 film, Can't Hardly Wait. While the film didn't do huge numbers at the box office office upon its release, it is a movie that has grown in popularity over the years. Since the film takes place at a house party, there are tons of needle drops that soundtrack the house party including songs from Smash Mouth, Eve 6, Busta Rhymes, and Guns and Roses.

We Discuss:

  • The 90s music, fashion, and 90s teen icons that grace this jam packed film
  • Our memories of our 90s teen selves
  • Ethan Embry's Preston being an old soul in the middle of this ensemble film
  • What hasn't aged well from this 25+ year old movie
  • The costume designer from the film that ended up winning an Oscar for costume design 20 years later

Nicole and Ryan were guests on My Streaming Bubble to talk about Seasons 1-3 of The Bear:

Ryan has a degree in Film Studies, and he’s a musician. So, Soundtrack Your Life is the perfect intersection of his two main passions. Plus, he’s an avid music fan—hunting down rare songs from his favorite bands has familiarized him with many obscure soundtracks over the years.
