Save the Last Pod

As the late Billionaire and two-time political candidate Ross Perot once said, "If you see a snake, just kill it; don't appoint a committee of snakes."  Today's film is an attempt by a High School teacher who tries to make a snake out of a student, and in turn makes himself a real-life snake, dismantling his life as he knows it. Are you following along yet? Good, because it is time to vote, and in this episode, we pick Flick, a teen flick, that is, of course. It's the 1999 film that pits student against student, brother against sister, and a sad Midwest teacher against himself, so grab your ballot, its the teen satire, ELECTION - Let's GO! This film is directed by multi-time Academy Award Winner and Nominee Alexander Payne and features Reese Witherspoon in her audition for Elle Woods, Chris Klein in his debut role, and Matthew Broderick in yet another classic shower scene. Is there anything funnier than politics in America right now? We think not! In this episode, Amy & Dan discuss Ross Perot's historic run as a third-party candidate, critique the use of voiceover in film, and avoid talking about the elephant in the room that is the 2024 US presidential election.  Are you casting your vote for us?

How exactly does one tame a shrew? It's hard to say, but it does feel like a job for an Aussie, doesn't it? This week on Save the Last Pod, it's the 1999 classic high school Shakespeare adaptation that launched the career of everybody's favorite heartthrob from down under – it's 10 Things I Hate About You! This is a big film in the teen movie genre so we brought in a big guest. In this episode Amy and Dan are joined by a very special guest Heather A.

What do the Halloween franchise and Everything Everywhere All At Once have in common? Aside from the OG final girl, Jamie Lee Curtis, it's the multiverse! Sort of! We enter the mid-way point of the biggest horror-slasher franchise and reunite with the once former teen scream Queen, Laurie Strode, back from the dead - or was she ever gone? - in Halloween H2O: 20 Years Later.

Is there anything scarier than commercial air travel? TSA lines, airplane bathrooms, broken seat back entertainment systems – oh no!

Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary… say it again. We dare you.  Candyman, Candyman… say it again. We dare you.  Of course, you know nothing bad will come of it if you do, but deep in the recesses of your mind, you suspect that these aren't just urban legends. Right? That's the question posed by this week's movie… Urban Legend! We're back for Hallowteen, and this week we find ourselves talking about the diminishing returns of the movies that followed in the wake of the 1996 teen slasher classic, Scream! Your favorite goths return to talk about the difference between scary stories and urban legends, Pop Rocks, Joshua Jackson and appropriate slasher costumes. Don't turn on the light, put your headphones on and ignore the obvious chaos around you as we take you back to 1998 when Paula Cole was an easy punchline and landlines still played prominent roles in film.

The Summer Olympics are in full swing but, like most good Americans, we're more excited for the winter games so we can watch hockey – specifically Goodwill Games hockey.

The Summer Olympics is in full swing, and we are celebrating with a teen movie that sheds light on not one but two more modern Olympic sports. Yes, we are talking about surfing and skateboarding and specifically about how a rag-tag group of teen surfers in the Dogtown area of Venice Beach unintentionally innovated and launched skateboarding into the mainstream by sneaking into empty pools during a 1970s-something summer drought. Why, hella, yes we are talking about LORDS OF DOGTOWN. Let's go!!  In this episode, Amy and Dan welcome back familiar faces to the podcast, talk about the Summer Olympics and the Bone Brigade, and question whether there is room for innovation anywhere in the world anymore. Plus! Amy dishes on what Rob Dyrdek said to her when she interviewed him for a potential job she didn't get, Heath Ledger's teeth, who of the cast knew how to skate, and where the real Stacey, Tony, and Jay are now.   Are you enjoying what you're hearing?

While jeans are super American, this movie was not shot anywhere in America, but it stars four American TV show-led sweethearts, and one of them is named America! Have you figured out what movie we are talking about yet? Of course, you have, you are a teen Queen just like us! This week on Save the Last Pod, it's the Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants - LET'S GO! In this episode, Amy & Dan discuss all the dungarees, from mom jeans to J'NCOs and everything in between. They reminisce about their favorite pair, the ones they never splurged for, and find out what Amy's mom has to do with Dan's current jean collection. Plus! Amy's getting so old she forgot when she turned twenty-one, and while it wasn't the year this movie came out, it wasn't soon after, which also means this was one teen movie your hosts didn't see till today. Experience The Sisterhood with fresh eyes almost twenty years later, and maybe someday soon we will even watch the sequel.  Are you enjoying what you're hearing? Your thoughts are not just important.

Step back to the summer of 1994, a time when your parents were keen on sending you to computer camp, but you had other plans. You decided to hire a con man, a former drama teacher, to pose as a camp counselor and create your own camp, where the only rule was to have fun. This week on Save the Last Pod, we're taking you back to that unforgettable summer, filled with firecrackers, car repairs, rooftop jumps, and even lima beans!

Camp evokes positive memories for most of us – playing sports, swimming in a lake, maybe having your first kiss. But for some of us, camp was work.

This week on Save the Last Pod, we travel to 2006, when the biggest statement of the year was: "John Tucker Must Die." And that's ironic because that is the title of our teen movie this week!  It's the Brittany Snow-Jesse Metcalfe-Ashanti-Jenny McCarthy banger, "JOHN TUCKER MUST DIE." Let's go!  In this episode, Amy & Dan pit hip-hop royals Beyonce & Jay-Z and Ashanti & Nelly against one another, talk armpit farts, red thongs, and webcams, and dissect the slightly regressive undertones presented in this female-helmed film. Also, did you hear that they are making a follow-up to this classic? That's right. The hosts of the hallway also make a bid to Hollywood with their ideas for where to take the second iteration of this teen-revenge comedy. We just hope that Penn Badgley will rock the same hairdo in the sequel. Please and thank you!  Is this podcast a slam dunk? If so, rate us 5 Stars! Like last week and the week before, if you leave us a 5-STAR REVIEW, we will read it on the air.  Follow us on Instagram @savethelastpod Follow us on TikTok  @save.the.last.pod  Follow us on Twitter (X??) @savethelastpod We are on Facebook now!

A dead dame unravels a tangled web of hot head smack slingers, jocks, stoners, loners and hardboiled gumshoes who scrap it up chasing after a brick of white gold in today's classic 2005 high school noir, Brick. Listen up, turds, because it's probably the last high school noir we'll cover. In this episode, Amy & Dan talk about why they don't make noirs anymore, as well as JGL's journey from 3rd Rock to tough guy, and Rian Johnson's journey from Sundance darling to Knives Out hotboi. Take off those noisy shoes and those tiny glasses, unravel this ball of yarn and let us take you on a journey down this 2005 rabbit hole.
