Gabrielle Union: Bigger, Badder, Better ...

Wondery
About this episode

Gabrielle Union was all over late 90s teen movies – even though she was always sidelined to supporting roles. On today’s show, NPR’s Pop Culture Happy Hour co-host Aisha Harris joins Brooke and Aricia to relive Gabrielle’s break out roles in 10 Things I Hate About You, She’s All That, and, of course, Bring It On. They’ll also discuss Gabrielle’s evolution on the big and small screens, her dedication to activism, and whether Bring It On is primed for a reboot.  


Aisha Harris’s new book, Wannabe: Reckonings with the Pop Culture That Shapes Me, drops in June.
