Summary
In this bonus tie-in podcast we are adding a little bit of class to our month-long journey through the sex comedies of the 1980's as we discuss the Amy Heckerling-directed Fast Times at Ridgemont High . Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about how this movie elevated teen comedy and became a staple hangout among the youth of the time, how it works well together with other classic hangouts like American Graffiti and Dazed and Confused and how it eschewed the desire to caricaturize teenagers in favour of portraying their lives and anxieties with requisite honesty. We also talk about Sean Penn's idea of eating in class, the infamous COVID reading of the script by attention-starved celebs, Cameron Crowe's earnest writing and much more! Tune in and enjoy!
