From a longtime Vanity Fair writer and editor, a delightfully entertaining, intelligent, and illuminating history and tribute to teen movies—from Rebel Without a Cause to Fast Times at Ridgemont High, and on to John Hughes, Mean Girls, The Hunger Games, and more.What influence did Francis Ford Coppola have on George Lucas's American Graffiti? And Lucas on John Singleton's Boyz n the Hood? How does teenage sexuality in Fast Times at Ridgemont High compare to Twilight? Which teen movies pass the Bechdel test? Why is Mean Girls actually the last great teen film of the 20th century?Doug Hess is the Producer and HostFollow on Facbook @forgottenhollywood

Manolis Zontanos extolls the virtues of Fast Times as a cautionary tale for teenagers. It's an interesting idea but is that what you thought when you saw it or did you see a cesspool of sex and bad decisions? Guess where Jimmy comes down on this argument. We're listing this as clean (no swearing) but there is some mature subject matter.

A few months ago, I was chatting with my sister and out of nowhere she asked me if I had done a Valley Girl podcast yet. She loves this movie and it has come up a few times over the years. I responded that I hadn't gotten to it yet and that I would get to it soon. I had actually tried to record it many years ago, in my first year or so of podcast, but I don't think I handled it well, and never released it. I felt a little guilty and so I decided that I needed to get a Valley Girl episode into the feed. I start the show talking about what it was like not having agency in what videos were rented in your house. Being the youngest, I was a little resentful at the time, but now I realize how much richer my life is because of all the movies I was exposed to that I never would have chosen. One of those is Valley Girl, which my sister rented for herself, but I was never one to shy away from new entertainment and I watched it as well multiple times. After I finished telling my story I move onto the film itself. I discuss how a Zappa song turned into a lawsuit that didn't derail a film that has often been described as Vall-sploitation. Other films in this genre were released, but non were as well-made and well-acted as this one. Then I talk about production, the case, the music, the reception, and much more. I am not sure why Valley Girl isn't more popular. Maybe its because its a little rough around the edges, but I find that charming. It, and movies lie, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, helped to establish tropes that other 80s films would borrow, and it deserves to be watched and celebrated.

Did you think Script Apart was going to let the 30th anniversary of one of the most iconic teen films ever just pass us by? In the words of Cher Horowitz – “as if.” On today's episode, we're joined by Amy Heckerling, the writer-director who, three decades ago this summer, gave Jane Austen's Emma a Beverly Hills makeover to remember. You may also know her for Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Look Who's Talking and Vamps, but Clueless is the film that she's best-known for – a Nineties treasure trove of high school hilarity that's still beloved today. So much so that a musical adaptation, also written by Amy, just opened in London's West End. In the conversation you're about to hear, Amy tells Al about the spirit of kindness that runs through the movie. We get into the TV pilot for Clueless – then titled No Worries – that was turned down across Hollywood, and discuss what was going on in Amy's life at the time of writing Clueless. The story of the film is one of a sunny optimist named Cher who's ready to take on the world. For Amy, though, that was hardly the case as she wrote the hit comedy. “I was feeling very depressed, which is how most stories start,” she teased in an interview in 2016. In this episode, she tells us why. Support for this episode comes from Final Draft.Script Apart is hosted by Al Horner and produced by Kamil Dymek.

In this episode, Anna and Derek discuss lightning in a bottle casting, anti-John Hughes depictions of teen life, and much more during their chat of the seminal flick Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982).Connect with '80s Movie Montage on Facebook, Bluesky or Instagram! It's the same handle for all three... @80smontagepod.Anna Keizer and Derek Dehanke are the co-hosts of ‘80s Movie Montage. The idea for the podcast came when they realized just how much they talk – a lot – when watching films from their favorite cinematic era. Their wedding theme was “a light nod to the ‘80s,” so there's that, too. Both hail from the Midwest but have called Los Angeles home for several years now. Anna is a writer who received her B.A. in Film/Video from Columbia College Chicago and M.A. in Film Studies from Chapman University. Her dark comedy short She Had It Coming was an Official Selection of 25 film festivals with several awards won for it among them. Derek is an attorney who also likes movies. It is a point of pride that most of their podcast episodes are longer than the movies they cover.We'd love to hear from you! Send us a text message.
We present our Hardbodies/10/Spring Break Review!When people think of iconic American cinema, they rarely jump straight to beachside hijinks, topless party montages, and clueless middle-aged men trying to reclaim their youth—but perhaps they should. Films like 10 (1979), Hardbodies (1984), and Spring Break (1983) are part of a uniquely 1980s phenomenon: the sex comedy boom, where the combination of sun, skin, and slapstick served as both low-budget goldmines and cultural time capsules. Though 10, starring Dudley Moore and Bo Derek, predates the others and leaned more into adult romantic fantasy than outright teen farce, it planted the seeds for the genre's obsession with unattainable beauty, aging masculinity, and self-aware hedonism. But it was Hardbodies that truly shifted the tone, ushering in the rise of the raunchy, youth-driven beach comedy that would define a generation of VHS rentals and late-night cable rewatches.Hardbodies wasn't the first to feature babes and bros on the sand, but it was the blueprint that codified the formula: old dudes hire a young ladies' man to teach them how to pick up women in Malibu, resulting in a series of increasingly absurd, sexualized, and tone-deaf adventures. It's pure wish fulfillment, soaked in neon tans and synth-heavy soundtracks, but it also became the prototype for films like Spring Break, Private Resort, and Hot Dog… The Movie. Its unapologetic objectification and throwaway plotting weren't accidental—they were the selling point. And for better or worse, Hardbodies helped shift sex comedy from teen coming-of-age (Porky's, Fast Times) to pure, exploitative fantasy. That shift matters, because it marked the moment when these films stopped pretending to be about growing up and started reveling in never growing up at all. The film legacy of Hardbodies isn't about quality or prestige—it's about influence, formula, and the way it captured a certain type of American escapism that filmmakers are still riffing on (or reacting against) today.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59
You know the accent. You’ve heard it exaggerated in The Californians on SNL, slurred by Sean Penn in Fast Times at Ridgemont High, and sung by Moon Unit Zappa in the most famous monologue in the San Fernando Valley. The California accent has been parodied in the media for decades. California is the largest state by population, making it one of the most diverse in the nation. So, is there truly an accent that unites all its residents? Today on AirTalk, we are talking about the California accent. Has living in California impacted your accent? Give us a call 866-893-5722 or email atcomments@laist.com. Joining us to discuss is Norma Mendoza-Denton, professor of anthropology at UCLA and creator of the Los Angeles Speaks project. Professor Mendoza-Denton is seeking participants who grew up & currently live in all parts of Los Angeles County to help with the study. Participants must be over 18 and speak English as a dominant language (began learning before age 8 or at 3rd grade). Researchers will come to your neighborhood and interview you for 60-90 minutes about living in LA. You may be asked to complete a brief mapping task. To ask questions or volunteer to participate please call the dedicated number for this project (805) 826-3568 or email losangeles.speaks@gmail.com. Learn more about the project here. Guest:

Feeling old yet, Slackers?When we were young, there were so many movie stars—and not just the Brat Pack. Sean Penn, Kiefer Sutherland, and Elisabeth Shue come to mind. Fast forward to today, and these former young heartthrobs and beloved teen idols have become Hollywood royalty, winning some of the industry's most prestigious awards, including Golden Globes, Academy Awards, Emmys, and Tonys. Movies like TAPS and Fast Times at Ridgemont High boast numerous award winners, including multiple Oscar wins.While Sean Penn received recognition fairly early in his career, actors like Christian Slater and Jennifer Jason Leigh didn't receive any significant award buzz until 30+ years into their careers. Though I'm an avowed Ferris Bueller hater, it was still pretty cool to see Alan Ruck (Cameron) receive nominations for his role on Succession.Although I don't typically pay much attention to award shows, I'm rooting for Demi Moore to finally win the big one for her role in The Substance.We dive into how these stars have evolved—not just in their careers, but in their artistry—transforming from iconic teen roles into multi-award-winning performances. We explore their journeys from being the faces of an era to becoming respected actors and performers across different genres. It's fascinating to see these once-young stars redefine what it means to age gracefully in Hollywood while staying relevant, admired, and celebrated.
It's Valentine's Day weekend and we wanted to keep with the theme and talk about some of the crushes we had in the 80s & 90s. Some a pretty obvious like Topanga from Boy Meets World, Amy Jo Johnson aka, the Pink Ranger and the from the most paused scene in cinema history Phobe Cates from Fast Times at Ridgemount highThats just a few that @RussLyman , @RetrocartCollector and @DavidApuzzo chat about in this episode of The Weekly Warp Pipe Podcast

It will be exclusively available to buy from the Big Finish website until 31 March 2025, and on general sale after this date. 1.1 Fast Times by Robert Valentine When the mysterious Division tries to arrest their equally mysterious agent, the Doctor, she evades capture and heads out in search of answers... but trouble is never far behind. Captured by bounty hunters and imprisoned in a maximum-security hulk ship, the Doctor is about to learn that there's no time to stand still when you're a fugitive. And times are about to get very fast indeed. 1.2 The Legend of Baba Yaga by Rochana Patel On the run from the Time Lords and in serious need of help, the Doctor heads for 17th-century Russia in search of the legendary witch of Slavic folklore... Baba Yaga. But while trying to gain assistance from this powerful entity, the Doctor finds herself embroiled in events from the most famous of Baba Yaga's tales when she tries to help a beautiful young woman called Vasilisa retrieve a burning ember to save her family from the bitter Russian winter. What is real? What is fantasy? And will the Doctor be able to tell the difference in time? 1.3 The Dimension of Lost Things by Lisa McMullin Fleeing Cosmo through the Vortex, the TARDIS gets sucked down a temporal plughole, and the Doctor emerges into a weird landscape. Finding other lost souls in the form of mountaineer George Mallory and scavenger Athelia, the Doctor soon stumbles across another, more surprising denizen of this strange dimension - herself! With Cosmo still in pursuit and memory-stealing winds threatening to wipe her mind for good, the Doctor senses a complex trap in action. But whose trap is it, and how can she possibly escape? **THIS TITLE HAS NOW SOLD OUT ON CD**
In this episode we're joined by Swiss swimming sensation and butterfly specialist Noe Ponti. Noe just completed a short course season for the ages where he pummeled the 50m Butterfly World Record throughout the World Cup en route to the World Title and he also took down the record that meant the most to him - Caeleb Dressel's 100m Butterfly World Record. This season is just what Noe needed to call 2024 a success, after 4th and 5th place finishes in Paris denied him medals at back to back Olympics. In this chat, Noe takes us behind the scenes of his swimming career from his start as a natural butterflier, to the details of his training regimen, which includes very little sprinting despite Noe now being the fastest 50 butterflier in history.

In episode 389 of Friends Talking Nerdy, Professor Aubrey and Tim the Nerd dive into the fascinating world of movies that the late, great film critic Roger Ebert despised but they personally adored. From cult classics like Fast Times at Ridgemont High and The Usual Suspects to offbeat gems like Freddy Got Fingered and Spice World, they explore why these films resonate with them despite Ebert's critiques. They also reflect on the value of developing a critical eye when choosing which movie critics to trust. Tim the Nerd then shifts gears to discuss a major shakeup in the media landscape: Universal Comcast's decision to sell off the majority of its cable networks, including USA Network and MSNBC. What does this mean for the future of television? Tim shares his insights and speculations. Finally, he examines the controversy surrounding Joe Scarborough's meeting with Donald Trump, despite Scarborough's long history of vocal criticism against the former president. Don't miss this thought-provoking and entertaining discussion! As always, we wish to thank Christopher Lazarek for his wonderful theme song.

Today, we're cruising back to the 1980s with a deep dive into Fast Times at Ridgemont High, a seminal teen comedy that has left an indelible mark on the genre. Directed by Amy Heckerling and released in 1982, this film not only launched several careers but also captured the quintessential teen experience with humor, honesty, and a bit of rebellion.Based on Cameron Crowe's book, which he wrote after going undercover at a San Diego high school, Fast Times at Ridgemont High presents a slice-of-life look at the trials and tribulations of teenage life. The film explores the lives of several students including the iconic Jeff Spicoli (Sean Penn), a perpetually stoned surfer, the ambitious Stacy Hamilton (Jennifer Jason Leigh), and her older brother, Brad (Judge Reinhold), as they navigate the complexities of adolescence.From dating disasters to job frustrations, the film covers a wide range of teen experiences. Stacy's explorations of love and relationships, Spicoli's clashes with the strict Mr. Hand (Ray Walston), and Brad's journey toward independence paint a vivid picture of the ups and downs of teenage life. The narrative is episodic, shifting focus among characters and their individual stories, which are both humorous and poignant.Why It Stands OutAuthentic Dialogue and Situations: The film shines in its depiction of teenage dialogue and situations, feeling both authentic and relatable. It captures the awkwardness, excitement, and confusion of high school without resorting to cliché.Breakout Performances: Sean Penn's portrayal of Spicoli is legendary, providing a source of comic relief and becoming a cultural icon. The performances by a young ensemble cast, including future stars like Nicolas Cage and Forest Whitaker, are dynamic and memorable.Cultural Impact: The film tackled teen issues with a frankness that was rare for its time, addressing topics like sex, drugs, and identity with a directness that has influenced countless teen comedies that followed.Fast Times at Ridgemont High explores the theme of adolescence as a pivotal time for self-discovery and personal growth. Each character's journey through the school year reflects the broader search for identity that defines the teenage experience.Join us as we revisit the hallways of Ridgemont High, exploring its iconic characters and memorable scenes. Whether it's your first time watching or a beloved rewatch, Fast Times promises both laughs and a thoughtful reflection on the highs and lows of teenage life.
