Episode 98: Fast Times at Ridgemont High

School's back in session, and we're back to discuss one of the most iconic high school comedies of the 80s: Fast Times at Ridgemont High!

Fast Times is a year in the life of your typical gang of high school kids: You got the kids just try to make a buck, the ones obsessed with sex, the ones obsessed with finding love... And then, of course, you've got Jeff Spicoli, Sean Penn's totally baked surfer dude.

As their stories weave in and out, the film is threaded throughout by one of the largest soundtracks we've ever covered. We'll talk about solo tracks from four members of the Eagles, The Go-Gos, Billy Squier, Jimmy Buffett, Donna Summer, and a whole lot more!
