Why do the teenagers in Cruel Intentions look ready for a board meeting? Kathryn's businesslike wardrobe is among the details Trixie Mattel and Katya pick apart as they revisit the glossy nastiness of the 1999 film.

Their I Like To Watch episode on Still Watching Netflix drew more than 250,000 views in its first ten hours, already far beyond the channel's usual first day for a regular video. The comments were unusually busy, too.

The welcome is immediate when Sarah Michelle Gellar appears. Katya announces: "Sarah Michelle Gellar! Mother alert! Mother alert!" Then the pair settle into the film's world of wealthy prep-school students treating other people's feelings as material for a wager.

Beneath the jokes about landlines and late-nineties hair, there's a pointed thread: why do so many teen-film plots make virginity something to win? Sebastian and Kathryn's bet over Annette gives the hosts plenty to question about sex presented as conquest. Viewers are discussing that criticism in the comments, alongside memories of the film's closing use of The Verve's "Bitter Sweet Symphony".

The episode also has room for a less philosophical response to cinema. When Kathryn teaches Cecile to kiss in Central Park, Trixie and Katya imitate the exaggerated mouth movements. Later, they interrupt the viewing for a standing dance and stretch, with Trixie observing: "This is media made for people who aren't scrolling."
