#036: Fast Times at Ridgemont High with Galen Howard

For our thirty-sixth episode, we’re joined by actor Galen Howard (“The Book of Boba Fett”, “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”) for a discussion of the landmark 1982 teen comedy “Fast Times at Ridgemont High”, as told by screenwriter Cameron Crowe and director Amy Heckerling. We discuss thwarted X-ratings (and question whether or not Criterion restored “graphic” “aggressive” nudity), terrible impressions of David Lynch, Nicolas Cage hanging out in the background, even more iconic nudity concealed by VHS tracking, and so much more.Ryan’s Recommendations: “Videodrome” (1983), “Dead Ringers” (1988), “Crash” (1996), and “eXistenZ” (1999)For exclusive bonus content and early releases of every episode, join our Patreon and become an Official Minder: http://www.patreon.com/onetrackmindpodcastTheme Music by: Bildschirm (bildschirm.bandcamp.com).
