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.

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.

Happy Hallowteen! This one’s for all our Stab fanatics out there. We’re giving you three Stabs with a side of Scream. This week on Save the Last Pod, it is perhaps the most meta movie in the most meta franchise of all-time – it’s the 2011 classic Scream 4!

In this episode, Amy & Dan rank the Screams and the Stabs, and talk all things Stu & Dew, and Bill & Jill. Turn your webcam on and make sure your Sidekick has at least one bar of battery, settle in and prepare for a podcast that may just have a podcast inside that podcast.

In the hierarchy of evil there are all manner of lesser imps and demons, but today’s movie tells us that Hell is a teenage girl. This week on Save the Last Pod, we’re talking about the 2009 late-emo, sleeper cult classic Jennifer’s Body.

In this episode, Amy & Dan talk about succubi, whether or not Jenji Kohen and Diablo Cody are the same person (they’re not), if emo was cool in 2009 (it wasn’t) and how Hole deserves another look. Clear your history of stale Megan Fox takes and come correct to the film that will surely change your mind.

Is there anything scarier than commercial air travel? TSA lines, airplane bathrooms, broken seat back entertainment systems – oh no! New Line took a gamble on that premise and spun it into 6 feature films. This week on Save the Last Pod, we’re covering the Rube Goldberg machine that started the franchise – it’s Final Destination!

In this episode, Amy & Dan talk about transportation fears, near-death experiences and the fine line between dreams and reality. It’s such a scary episode that Amy forgot to mention her crush on Devon Sawa.

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.

Is Heathers a horror movie? Of course not. If you agree, you should rate us 5 Stars and write why it’s not in the comments! We’ll read the best ones on air.

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. This week on Save the Last Pod, it’s a Disney teen movie sequel to the youth sports classic that banged so hard it spawned an NHL franchise. It’s D2: The Mighty Ducks!

In this episode, Amy and Dan welcome back several familiar faces to the podcast, talk about NHL 94, and argue about the origin of the Bash Brothers. Amy also dishes on her favorite Ducks and she debates with Dan: Knucklepuck vs Annexation of Puerto Rico. Why don’t you pour yourself a fat bowl of Wheaties, slip into some Hendricks gear and let us take you back to a time when Iceland was the bad guy.
