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.

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. Taylor, TV writer, podcaster and author of the brand new audiobook, “Know Your Newlywed” (available Dec 10 from Simon & Schuster) to talk all things Kat and Pat. Break out the brie, cast off in your paddle boat and let the gang take you back to 1999, the definitive year of the teen movie.

Are we just too good to be true? Can’t take your ears off of us? Then take a moment to leave us a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, GoodPods, or your preferred platform. It’d be really nice if you did.

New Episodes Every Thursday - LET’S GO!

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. Let’s go!

In the final episode of Hallowteen 2024, Amy and Dan get into a classic, remixed, of course, with 90s teen idols Michelle Williams and Josh Hartnett in his first film role ever! Also—LL Cool J, the world in September of 1998, and an in-depth explanation from Amy on how the thirteen films of the Halloween catalog work. Also, why is there no water in H2O? John Carpenter, we have a bone to pick with you about this.
