Episode 16: Back To School Episode - Zapped - Fast Times at Ridgemont High: 09/03/1982

This week the boys share their Top Ten favorite “Back-to-School” movies after revisiting September 3, 1982 and the raunchy student bodies of FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH and ZAPPED!Forget Reading, ‘Riting and ‘Rithmatic - this week’s films are all about “the three S’s”: Scatman, Salami, and Spicoli! Sean Penn’s mesmerizing comic performance in Fast Times is indeed one for the ages, but in the spirit of fair play, might we also interest you in Aunt Esther from Sanford and Son shooting weiners at Albert Einstein with a bazooka? (And yes, you read all of that correctly...)As a wary nation heads back to school, Jason, Dan and Fred take a trip down memory lane and catalogue their favorite cinematic odes to academia. How many Brodericks equals a Cusack? If John Hughes writes a film but doesn’t direct it, does it make the list? And at what temperature does the formula bend (but not break!) enough to allow both a superhero movie and Richard Nixon onto the list? Make sure to show your work and fill in the ovals completely, because Episode Sixteen (Candles) of Opening Weekend is here... I mean, “Present!”
