Ep 66: Pop Culture Archives: 80s Teen Culture, Romantic Pursuits, and High School Friendship in Fast Times At Ridgemont High

Send us Fan MailHappy Wednesday Weed Whackers and welcome back! We've got a fun and perhaps educational episode for you today. First up, we're yapping about meeting our fans in the wild, concert going, and Irish goodbyes. Next, you know we have to talk a little bit about the files. Feel free to skip ahead if you've reached your file consumption limit. It's hard to even know what to say or what to focus on but one thing we are definitely interested in following is the female response to all of this. So far we've seen Melinda Gates speaking out publicly regarding her former husband and we're staying tuned to see how many, if any, will follow suit. Moving on, we're sharing our thoughts on Alex Honnold's live broadcast free climb and we get into a little mix up about base jumping and free basing. (we don't recommend either.) Next up, we're wondering why 90s kids movies were hell bent on inflicting emotional turmoil on an entire generation and then we're diving into a quick reality check segment to discuss the latest Bravo happenings. We're dishing on Bronwyn and Todd's split, the Southern Charm core 4 birthday dinner, and Kyle and Mauricio's tour of their former home. Then it's time to get in the weeds with a pop culture archives review of Fast Time's at Ridgemont High. We've got some fun facts about the movie (which you may already know but we just learned for the first time) and then we're breaking down the characters and scenes to discuss how the film represented the teen culture of that time. As always we wrap it up with grapes to practical gadgets and elementary school nostalgia and gripes about domestic labor and parking woes.
