10 Things I Hate About You

In the pilot episode of Canonically Good Hang, meet Ren and Madie. Best friends and chronic yappers, they’ll walk you through the podcast’s structure (replete with memes and Taylor Swift songs), the point of the whole damn thing (proving media literacy isn’t dead, just silly) and a conversation about Madie’s favorite rom-com of all time: 10 Things I Hate About You. Canonically Good Hang is a video podcast hosted by Ren Cottam and Madie Thatcher. Each week, they’ll host a discussion on a load-bearing piece of media, from Taylor Swift albums to early-2000s Disney classics. You can follow them on social media or shoot them an email.
